More Fun in October Pandemic Style

Olivia's recreational soccer league was canceled in the fall but we were able to sign her up for a Player Development League for the Fall which ran from September to the end of October.  Practices were once a week on Fridays and they were able to have games on Saturdays for the last 6 weeks of the season.  Olivia got to play with Addie, Astrid, and Avery who were on her soccer team last year.  The practices were academy style with Southside coaches and were well run.  Olivia had to wear a mask the whole time but she did great even when running hard with it on.  It was a fun season and Olivia scored several goals.  Olivia did miss her normal fall Rec soccer team though with Taylor and I coaching and her friends there.  

We took the kids to the Halloween Spirit store and they picked out a costume.  Brandon chose a Baby Trump (entirely his own idea).  I thought it was obnoxious and lost a Trump friend on Facebook for posting a picture of him.  Olivia's outfit was a bit less controversial she was a Victorian Countess and very cute!  We had planned to be safe and follow CDC recommendations and not go trick or treating but thought it would still be fun for the kids to dress up.  We heard the doorbell one night in October and found out that we were Booed by one of our neighbors or friends. The kids got some cute Halloween candies and trinkets.  

Baby Trump!

Someone Booed us!

I snapped some cute photos of Olivia and Teddy snuggling on Olivia's bed.  Teddy grew to love snuggling with Olivia while she went to bed.  Sometimes he ends up in her closet taking a snooze.

We met Lauren (Olivia's first friend at Rocking Horse when she was 5 months old) at George Rogers Park in October.  The girls had fun playing outside on the playground.  They were sad they couldn't hang out inside but we were being careful due to the pandemic.  In late October the dogs and I dropped Sean and my ballot off.  We were excited to vote for Biden!
