Meg Created a Monster!

This weekend was the annual McLean family pumpkin carving. Last year Meg carved her own pumpkin all by herself. This year was no different she made the goolish face all on her own. It took her a little while because her pumpkin was very thick but I think it was time well spent after seeing the results.

The mouth originally had 2 teeth and in Meg's own words looked like a castle but one tooth was lost while the mouth piece was being removed.

Jumpin Zach

For the longest time Zach has had a paranoia regarding Moonwalks/Jupiter Jumps/whatever you call them. Well I am happy to report that at the annual pumpkin carving Zach officially got over his fears and had a great time. Thanks to all his jumping partners who made this possible.

The Mad Artist

Tonight our family created a fun fall wall hanging using a big roll of paper and pastels. Mom had some leaf stencils that we used to make and color fall while Meg and Mom did that zach and Dad worked on creating a tree. Everything was going well when Zach got "creative" and started drawing what I can only describe as the swirling winds that knocked the leaves out of the tree.

Playing for the Crowd - Game 10

This week Meg had a audience to perform for, Grandma Goellner and Uncle Bobby. With extra family in the crowd and Dad reffing his first game of the fall Meg knock in 2 goals and had a lot of assists with her teammates. The Green Lizards put up a good fight and it was a very fun game to watch.

Only a few more games left until it is time for Meg to hang up the cleats for the winter.

Game On! A Meg Movie - Game 9

The above is a movie I made that has a collection of clips from a few of Meg's U5 soccer team, THe Red and Yellow socks.

First game of Fall - Game 6

This Saturday was the first game of the fall season. Meg didn't really get into the game. Her team has a little problem with kids not showing up so they had to take a member of the other team to field a group of four. Maybe next week we will have more players and Meg will have the Mia Hamm thing going like the spring.
