Boo at the Zoo

Today was Tyler's last flag football game. He really learned a lot and improved so much over the course of the season. I think he really enjoyed playing, too. I couldn't help but feel extra proud of him today as we watched him play.

His coach had a bowling and pizza party for the team after the game. They all got tshirts and trophies.

Later this afternoon we went to Boo at the Zoo. I don't know what Danielle's problem was - she couldn't just smile for a picture, she had to strike a pose. (She looks so bulky because it was cold out. She had 3 shirts and a sweatshirt on under her costume!)

Tyler wanted to be a vampire this year, but I vetoed that. He chose to be a bat instead. Thankfully he did not want to be Batman, just a bat. I made his costume based on some ideas I found online. He really likes it, so I would consider it a success. He got several compliments while we were at the zoo tonight, so that made him feel good, too.

Danielle chose to be a butterfly. I cheated and bought everything. After making all those wings for the party, I didn't want to make any more. I did buy it all on sale, though, so I guess that makes it a little better. She got several compliments, too, and will enjoy playing dress-up with it once Halloween is over.

We had a nice afternoon.
