At least we have our wives to grow old with...

This Thanksgiving season, it's great to have families that we can be around. And most of all, it's great to have wives we can grow old with...

Louisville, KY

Here are a few pictures of Grant. We went to Louisville and took a tour of the Louisville Slugger factory.

Halloween: 2007

Here's the haunted house I created; note the Jazz flag and matching Jazz hearse. Eric and Becky, eat your heart out. My Egyptian mask is finished and when the time comes for me to be mummified, I will be laid to rest with it covering my face. I had to be an animal because we did an animal theme; one parent said to me, "I liked your costume better last year." More details from the house. Note the names on the gravestones. Here's a side view of the house. I spent WAY too much time on this, and someday people will respect my artistic ability (Brandon).

Blogskrieg: A Blitz of Blogs from the AZ Scoresby's

So here are few things that have been going on with us the last few weeks. Halloween Here are some pictures of the kids for Halloween. This year was a Star Wars theme with Conner as Luke Skywalker, Claire as princess Leia, Rafe as Darth Vader, and Holland as Yoda.

Jenna took the kids around the neighborhood while they waited for me to get home from work (got stuck in traffic, and while idling there on the freeway my knee started feeling weird and seized up on me. I couldn't extend my leg and it hurt really bad. I could barely get my toes on the accelerator and had to brake with my left leg. I don't know what it was, maybe a cramp or something, but I hope it doesn't happen again. It felt better once I got home and could get out of the car). Anyway, we just did the annual Trunk or Treat at the church. We were done by 6:30 pm and came home. The kids had fun greeting all the trick-or-treaters, which we actually had quite a few this year. (Notice Rafe's homemade Darth Vader vest complete with calculator duct-taped to his chest. Holland would not wear her Yoda ears, but finally got them on long enough to snap this picture.) Soccer Conner surprised us this year by telling us he wanted to play soccer. I thought he was never going to be interested in organized sports. But he has shown interest lately in soccer and football. So we signed him up for little league. His team didn't have a coach - that is until I volunteered. Yup, I'm a soccer dad. Have I ever coached anything in my life? No. Do I know anything about soccer? No. Do I need to? No. I was a little worried at first, but I've got good kids and the parents seem to be behaved as well, which is a good sign. Besides, I'm on my way to Coach of the Year, as the Miners ripped the Scorpions 5-1 in our opening game this last Saturday. Here's a picture of Conner after the game enjoying his after game snack.

Character Sketch Ever wonder how your children perceive you? Just have their school teacher give out a character sketch assignment, in which they have to describe someone they know. Well, Conner had just that assignment recently, and I only saw it after he had handed it in and received the grade. Apparently Jenna helped him type it, and as he was writing it, Conner told Jenna not to tell me. Jenna and I had quite the laugh about it, but still it made me realize how kids perceive you and what sort of example your setting. Later I asked Conner, "Is this how you really think I am?" And in his defense he said, "Well, that was before I knew you were going to be my soccer coach!" Now I'm really glad I took up the coaching job!

Colts v. Patriots

I am so excited for the big game this Sunday. Brandon, Grant and I all bought Colts jerseys and hats. Grant even has a little Colts football that he throws around the house. But what I really look forward to seeing a demonstration of the opposite personalities of Coach Dungy and Coach Belichick. One could say Coach Dungy is good and Coach Belichick is evil. Whatever happens, I'm sure that our good, honest Coach Dungy will handle it with dignity. Boy, I wish Jeff were here to enjoy the game with us.

Happy Halloween!

I want to see Halloween pictures of the Scoresby kids all dressed up and any other Shirleys that were dressed up (Jeff?). We didn't take Grant trick-or-treating but we brought him to a few of our friends' houses to show him off. Here in Indiana, they have specific trick-or-treating hours. I think it's a brilliant idea. Since we were taking Grant around, we ended up giving out candy to maybe three or four groups of kids. So, now we have a Costco size bag of candy tempting me.
