shoe sheriff
Have a shoe that needs to be tied?
Shoe Sheriff Declan is the man for the job!
His teacher told them that there would be a new job in class...Shoe Sheriff...and if you can successfully tie shoes you will get a badge with your name on it to put up in the class and will be able to assist those friends who can not tie their shoes. He told us this on a Monday and on Tuesday night he had mastered shoe tying:)

ND game
Yep, the O'Rourke's were in South Bend! BC and I went to the ND/Navy game last weekend (the tickets were part of his birthday gift) and even though we got drenched before the game, we had a great time! It was chilly, but campus was beautiful:) I may have even cheered for the Irish at one point! It was close 34-30 win, we stuck with them through the end! I was not impressed with their cheerleaders, but BC told me I would be if they took a test:)
Here's the view inside the dome.
Here come the Irish!
Our good old buddy Dean Huppert from Fox Sports:)
My handsome (and super cold) husband and I at the game:)
I'll go ahead and type it....Gooooo Irish!!
Boo!
We kicked off the Halloween season with a Kindergarten Parent Fundraising Costume Party...we were Jack and Jill After the Hill!
Then it was on to carving pumpkins! Declan actually got his hands inside all the guts this year! He collected all the pumpkin seeds he could and we roasted them...he ate 6, which is 6 more than I thought he would eat! Conall chose a ghost for his pumpkin, Declan a spooky face and poor little Galvan had a silly face but the saw broke before we could carve it! He didn't seem to mind though:) I have no idea why he isn't wearing pants and Conall only has on one sock in the picture of them outside, that's just the way they roll...it's amazing that Declan has a shirt on!
Conall had a Halloween party at school that Galvan and I attended. Lots of games, yummy cookies (G had 2) and cauldron of brains (green cooked macaroni)!
And here's our boo's on Halloween night (really November 1st since the city changed it due to the weather).
One brave fireman, a cute train conductor and one tough SWAT officer!
The boys had a ton of fun trick or treating and are still eating their treats!
Happy Halloween from the O'Rourke's!

the boys
Declan has had a great season at soccer, he's really picked it up and doing well!
Galvan even likes to go to his games!
Bath time!
Conall had his first field trip the other day. They went to the Stoneycreek Pumpkin Farm, I was able to go to...it was a little rainy, which means muddy, and a bit chilly, but the kids all had fun!
Declan loves numbers (he gets that from his dad), last night he wrote the abc's and his numbers past 100!

3 to the 5
BC is 35 years old!
Last Tuesday he turned a year older (he is currently 2 years older than me). After Declan's soccer game we grabbed some pizza, opened gifts and had some cookies and ice cream! I did treat him to a steak dinner the following day, it's kind of a tradition now:) We love you dad and wish you a year filled with lots of laughs, playing and being silly along with all the hugs and kisses you can handle! Happy Birthday!!

soccer
It's soccer season! Declan is #5 on the Bustin' Blackberries. He's had 2 games so far and has played so well. He's started out at goalie in both games and does a great job blocking. He's really figured out how dribble the ball and get it down the field. He's had some awesome kicks, which have resulted in some awesome goals! It's fun to see him really get into the game and get excited about it:)
And here's the celebration after a goal!
