It's been an eventful couple of weeks!
This past weekend, Lily's co-ed U15 soccer team played in the FSYCL tournament. During the season their record was 1-6-1, but during the tournament, they really worked together as a team and ended up securing a place in the semi-finals. During the semi-finals, they played their little hearts out. And won the game in triple overtime with the first to three-point shoot-out. I was so proud of Lily. She really wanted it and gave her all on the field. The coach never took her out! He must of seen how great she was doing! The final game was tough, so they didn't win the entire tournament, but they took 2nd place!!! What an awesome accomplishment!

Earlier in the weekend, we had two attempts a trick or treating. On actually Halloween Eve, they were forecasting nasty storms with threats of tornadoes, so we laid low and simply visited the houses on our immediate street. Even though she hit up only 3 houses she collected a bunch of loot. The following evening, we went trick-or-treating with Nanna and her family. The kids had a great time! I was wondering if Lily would give it up this year, so I was glad she still went out this year!
