the Schrader 5

Today is November 5th which also happens to be our nephew's 6th birthday. So, Happy, Happy Birthday Gavin! This afternoon Will and Noah had their 10th game of the soccer season. They won 2-0. It was a close call this time. The other team apparently learned their lesson from the last time we played them and essentially had two goalies the entire game. The goalie was in the box and another kid stood directly in front of the net as well. So, while there were a lot of shots, only 2 got in. Melissa was biting her nails almost the entire game since both goals were made in the 4th quarter. Will scored the first goal and Phillip had a nice goal just before the end of the game.

Here are a few random pictures from the weekend. Last night it was finally chilly enough to use the fire pit. It was in the LOW 50's. To us, that is actually more like cold than chilly. The kids all had hot cocoa and chocolate cake and then wrapped themselves in blankets around the fire.

Chris got in from soccer and was put straight to work to build our fire. Will was disappointed that Chris only scored 2 goals. He told him he should have scored at least 3 goals like he does!

Four words... Like father, like son! (Tim G., I thought you'd appreciate this one.)
