We had a rock n' roll Halloween at our house. It was his choice.
For real!
He said "no" to both the pirate costume and the construction worker costume that I tried to get him to wear. But when I asked him if he wanted to be "rock n' roll" for Halloween, he said "Rock n' Roll! Yes!"
No complaints here.
I dressed up in solidarity.
Also note the flooring in the background of the first photo. You guys helped me fix it a few months back after this little tornado pulled it apart.

Proud moment over the weekend. My 7 year old son has taken a liking to soccer and has gotten pretty good at it. He played over the summer and while he did great, didn't score a goal. He was however the fastest on the team (thanks Mom's genetics).
I worked with him the best I could and just kept telling him it didn't matter if they won or lost or who scored the most goals as long as they all had fun. He was still pretty bummed regardless.
So we enrolled him in a fall league that plays indoor on regulation fields.
In his first game after we worked a week or so together he comes into the game 3 minutes in, tears off towards the ball, steals it, flies down the field, left outside foot to the ball in stride right around defender one, right outside foot to the ball in stride around defender two and kicks a rocket into the goal for the first goal of the match.
I don't know who was happier.
If that wasn't great enough, later in the match one of the boys on the other team took a hard kick to the shin and went down. My boy immediately drops and takes a knee until he gets up. Damn proud moments right there.

so, i secretly planned an experience of a lifetime for my little boy for his 8th birthday for the weekend just gone and man, it was incredible!
he has wanted to go watch Newcastle united play for a few years and i'd told him i'd see if i could get us some tickets!
he's never been to a proper match and considering we live 386 miles away from Newcastle it wasn't something that can happen every week.
without him knowing i'd arranged for him to be a mascot for the game, with him getting to meet the whole team and walk out onto the pitch with his heros!
here's a few videos showing a kind of timeline, the first him reading a fake email i'd asked NUFC to send me stating there were no tickets left for the game.
second is him getting the tickets at the airport when i'd told him we were going there to go laser shooting with me and my two brothers and the last video is him walking out onto the hallowed turf that is St. James.
he loved it! other than the result! (we lost 3-1) but i hope he will remember it always
he has a signed top that i will frame for him!
i am very proud!
