This week Taylor had her 1st school field trip. They went to a farm where they learned about apples and how to make cider. Then they took a hayride and went to a pumpkin patch. It was a fun day and it was great to see Taylor interacting with her friends. I was worried about how she would behave with me there but she was on her best behavior. I think this is attributed to the banning of Max in our house. Max is the brother bunny off the cartoon Max & Ruby. A friend told me about how Max behaves on the show by demanding the things he wants using one word commands. Something Taylor has been doing a lot. So Max is out. 
Jake had his last soccer game Thursday night (or so I thought) but I found out he has tournament games now. Jake has been playing goalie for his team. I think it’s more stressful for me than it is for him. His team consists of 6, 7, & 8 year olds so he is one of the young ones. When a big 8 year old is coming at him about to kick the ball I feel like pulling him out of the way to protect him. It’s very hard to watch but he loves playing.
Today Taylor had a soccer game where she actually played and didn’t stand around like a statue. I did bribe her with M & M’s if she touched the ball just once. After lunch we baked pumpkin bread and then had a hot chocolate tea party. Then we played a game that Taylor got for her birthday. All and all we had a pretty quiet week compared to most.
