Intense Game

Last Friday Blake had a cake auction for his cub scouts. We had to make a cake. Last year we made a really cool pizza cake in a pizza box and everything. This year I ran short of time and had to make something easy and quick, so we made a fish cake. It was a little on the "cute" side, but oh well, the boys didn't say anything and it was pretty popular. It sold for $40 which was the max to spend. We went home with a star wars cake for $25. The point of the cake auction is to raise money for the pack. These cakes were definitely not worth $40 but the boys had fun making them and decorating them.

Saturday and Sunday were city cup finals for soccer. Blake's team won the regular season and for city cup they came in second. The game on Sunday was very intense and we went into overtime. Those boys ran their butts off and they played an awesome game. The ref on the other hand was a piece of work. We think he was getting paid by the other team. :) For instance, we scored a goal, but then one of the coaches on the other team said that it was already halftime and the ref forgot to blow the whistle. How convenient! Another time was when the ball was by their goal and one boy on the other team kicked it to their own goalie. Against the rules! Does the ref call it, no. We would have gotten a goal kick 3 feet in front of the goal! Anyways, the game was fun, Blake was probably one of the few kids who wasn't crying when it was over. In January we play in the Commissioners Cup where we play other cities. There is also All Stars, maybe, and then baseball starts in February and the sports go on.

Amanda was chosen by her teacher to read a piece of writing she did for the Author's Tea. She was very nervous about doing it, but did a great job.

The kids love to dress up Lauren and today she was a fireman princess. She loves her big brother Blake!
