ballet and soccer and doughnuts, oh my!

hazel and eleanor started ballet a couple weeks ago

this is hazel's fifth year of ballet!

i can't believe it

she was a little younger than eleanor when she started

 they are starting to use the barre and she loves it

she also has a friend from her class last year and she has a lot of fun with her

eleanor started her first ballet class the week after hazel

she loves it!

she is so cute doing it and trying her hardest

all the other girls in her class were super nervous

but not her! she's been watching and waiting for years

 then saturday before last noah and olive started soccer

olive likes it but got hit by the ball really hard her first game and that made her nervous

 we still aren't sure we've found her thing but she'll stick with soccer for now

 noah started soccer the same day and michael gets to coach him!

we're all pretty excited about it

 noah scored the most goals for his team at his first game

he seems to really be getting the hang of it!

 henry wants to know when he gets to start soccer

 so sweaty after his first game

 a few pictures from this last saturday

 olive doesn't like how sweaty she gets playing soccer but she's so cute running around

 we're at the soccer field for 2.5 hours each saturday between the two kids

so the little ones get bored

henry had fun feeding michael carrots

 noah practiced before his game

 i think henry was jealous of the sucker eleanor found in my purse

she eventually gave it to him and he trashed his sweater..

 michael is such a good coach

the kids love him

 after soccer this last saturday we went home and got dressed like pirates

for talk like a pirate day

we got lots of free doughnuts

 then went to the meridian block party with the hunts

 there were lots of bounce houses 

and michael had lots of fun rolling the kids around in these inflated balls

 life is good
