Time for a new update I suppose

Well I couldn't let the Potas family get ahead of me by too much here so have to get another post in myself. The kids are all doing great. It was another soccer Saturday here. Tristan continued his goal scoring streak, big surprise. And Jack, well then there's Jack. I told him that he didn't have to play anymore, but he still had to go and cheer on his team. I also told him that if he wanted to play he needed to tell his coach and if he wanted to come off the field to calmly tell his coach he needed to leave. So he didn't play the whole first half, no big deal. Halfway through the second half he played as a little girl from his team got injured. He did great, laughed when he fell down, bonked heads with someone and got back up, almost scored a goal, he was so close. Then I think he got tired. He came over to me sort of crying (read faking) and I kissed his hand and said he needed to tell Coach Chuck he was hurt and needed to go out. He did and sat on his bench and finished cheering on his team to a crushing loss, something like 147-2. I have never wished a game to be over like I did this one. I just wanted to make it through a game without a meltdown, and we succeeded. I was so proud! During this I was also able to watch Tristan score two goals on the next field over and that was pretty awesome. This week went quickly, kind of like all of the others, school, soccer, cub scouts, studying, chores, life. We are now in high pitched fury to find Jack his Halloween costume as the rest of us have ours. We are going as Steve and Terri Irwin (the Croc Hunter), that will be Tristan and I and Savannah will be a koala bear. Jack wanted to be a crocodile/alligator and I can't believe that I cannot find a costume for him. So note to anyone out there if you see an alligator costume, size 4-6, let me know immediately!! Savannah is trying so hard to move, she does a great backwards crawl and pivots on her knee to anywhere in the house she wants to go. But forward just isn't happening for her, soon she will be tearing up the race track but as of now we are still semi-safe. Until next time, je mata ne.
