Last weekend I played 3 soccer games the first two I guest played with platteville we won the first game 6-2 and lost the second game 2-1. (all this was on saturday)
On sunday I played a game with my Dubuque team and we won that 4-1.

I finished the Hobbit on Monday, so here is my synopsis of the book.

        Hobbits are a very respectable kind of people that hardly EVER go on adventures, so at first Bilbo Baggins wants nothing to do with the thought of going on an adventure with Dwarves and a Wizard. But at last they convince him to come. 

         This adventure has many dangers that Bilbo does not expect, not the least of which is a giant dragon named Smaug, also a creature named Gollum, in Gollum's cave Bilbo finds a ring that will turn him invisible, with this power he convinces the Dwarves that he is a master burglar. And uses this new found skill to complete many tasks

In my soccer tournament over the weekend we lost the first game 2-0, and won the second and third games 3-1 and 3-0. That was enough to put us into the finals. We lost the final by a score of  2-0 so we got second place.

On thursday I had my second cross country race of the year.(on the same course as my first race) I finished 6th of 35 racers with a time of  8: 11. Thats 30 seconds faster than my first race!

        My soccer team had the first 2 games of the season yesterday, we won the first game 4-0 and the second game 6-2.
In the first game one of the parents took stats and found out that we had possession of the ball 69% of the game. (which lasted 70 minutes)
     
         I also have another cross country race on thursday so I will make sure to get some pictures.

I read the next 2 chapters of the hobbit, but I realized that some of you have not read the book so I will let you read it your self and I will just tell you what chapters I have read.

Book 1: The Hobbit

I read the first two chapters of the hobbit today. For anyone who doesn't know, the main character of the book is a hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. At first Bilbo wants nothing to do with an adventure but in the end he is drawn into the Idea by a wizard named Gandalf and a few Dwarfs. As I read more I will continue to give a quick summery of what I have read for the day.
