Madi's Volleyball Tournament

Madi's volleyball tournament started Friday night. They won the first team they played so they had to stay and play another team. They also won the second team they played which meant they had to come back Saturday morning to play some more! On Saturday they got to keep playing until they lost two games. The very first game they played was against the "undefeated" black team, they won the first round and then lost the last two. It was such a close game and they played so good, they just couldn't pull out a win. They went on to play two other teams, and won both games!

It was now down to Madi's team, the red team, and the black team. Madi's team played the red team first and then the winner of that game would go on to play the black team. They played so good all day, but after about 3 hours of volleyball they were starting to wear down. They tried their hardest and Madi was playing awesome but they just couldn't do it! The red team won, so Madi's team took 3rd place out of twelve teams!!

One of our favorite things to do every Halloween is make yummy sugar cookies! Monday was family night, of course I didn't have any thing planned so I figured this would be perfect. We frosted them, and no we didn't do anything fancy we were just going to be eating them, so as long as they had lots of frosting they were perfect for me!

The kids had fun and couldn't care less what their cookies looked like either they just wanted to be sure and figure out a way they could put lots of chocolate chips on, yuck! So here is a picture of some of our favorites!The best part of making the cookies, has to be eating them! And let me tell you, we did plenty of that!
