Busy Saturday

It was a very busy Saturday for us, although most of them are anyway.  Today started off with Spencer and I heading out to the store around 8am to find him a costume for trick-r-treating since we were going to the zoo with some friends and their kids.  The kids got to wear their costumes and get treats while looking at the zoo animals.  After that excursion, we were back to have some breakfast and get ready for football and soccer games.  Spencer's team, the Irish, was taking on his good friend Collin's team, the Gophers.  It seems that Collin's parents want to start a bit of a rivalry, as they planted some propaganda in our bushes Friday night.  Although I'm not too concerned, seeing as how R is a U-M fan, and we all know how that turned out last weekend (GO GREEN!!)

In the end, things didn't quite go the Irish's way, as the Gophers ended up winning 21-16.  Oh well, there's always next year.

Syd's soccer game was another 3-on-3 thriller with 3-4-5 year olds.  Syd had a special audience, as our neighbors Mr. Doug and Miss Lyla came out to watch both kids.  They were excited about that, and the fact that they brought the greatest neighbor dog ever, Skylar.

After all that fun and excitement, it was back home to grab some lunch and watch a little of the Spartans beat up on Illinois (which MSU ended up winning and going to 7-0, baby!!!)  Then we had to get ready to head up to the zoo for Halloween at the Zoo.  Syd donned her witch costume and Spencer was sporting his newest Boba Fett costume.  While waiting for our friends and their kids to show up, we saw an adult in costume coming out of the zoo.  It was a life-size Boba Fett.  Unknown to us beforehand, the zoo was having a Star Wars costume parade just finishing up as we got there.  Here's the two Boba Fetts posing (in case you get confused, Spencer is on the right)

Spencer was really excited about that whole experience!  Soon after, our friends showed up and we made our way through the zoo.  Here's a couple of photos from the day:

Once all that was done, we headed to B-dubs for some wings and drinks for dinner.  By this time, everyone was pretty much wiped out from the long day.  All headed home and early to bed.  What party-ers we are on a Saturday night!!
