Decisions, decisions

Donuts or oranges?
Duh! Donuts every time. First, anyway. Then oranges.

After a long and rainy soccer season, the Red Devils made it to the playoffs with a 2 and 6 record. (For those of you not sportsminded, that is 2 wins and 6 losses). Not quite sure how we ended up at the playoffs with that record, but there we were.

The tournament was actually postponed a week because of this Halloween snowstorm. But as you can see from the pictures, it was a beautiful day. Long, but sunny. And I had been missing that sun!!

Fortunately for us parents who just wanted it to be OVER, the team lost 3 of their 3 games and did not have to return for the championship game the following day.

Define Grapple

Not much help with the definition. It is pronounced with a long a.

I was at the grocery store looking for some grapes for the Little Prince. They didn't have the best selection so I checked out the apples (now that he can eat them without being cut up). Not much there either. Then I spotted these. He said they are pretty good. I didn't taste any grape, but they did smell a bit grape-ish. It was strange to be eating an apple yet smelling grapes. Interesting.
