November Madness

November came and went. We are that much closer to Christmas. I can hardly believe it. One minute we are sitting out at soccer games with sunblock smothered all over, sweating our tails off--the next we are bundled up in jackets and beanies. 
The kids finished out their AYSO soccer seasons this month. Bubba's team (The Men in Black) won one game, tied one game and lost the others. His teammates called him the "Big Kahuna" because of his size. Wiggy's age bracket is five-on-five and they don't officially keep score, but they easily blew every other team out of the water. It was fun to watch! She scored many goals and was pretty unstoppable when she headed down the field with the ball.
Tubbs' team (The Rattlers) affectionately nicknamed him "The Hammer." They only lost three games during the regular season and were able to compete in the tournament.
His face after losing their elimination game of the tournament. He's thrilled to have his mother capture these moments....can you tell? :)

 With the cooler weather we have made a few Starbucks runs for hot cocoa and cake pops.

Apparently she had all A's and one B.

 I surprised this gal when I showed up for her Thanksgiving feast in her classroom.
 Passed out early on a Friday night.
 This fella says he was trying to wean himself off the diet soda.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
