New Soccer Season

By -
We should've had a game last week, but it was VERY rainy. So, yesterday ended up being the first of the season. He really likes playing, but I don't thin he's as experienced or competetive as some of the other boys. I've discovered, that I actually (kind of) like watching soccer. It's a pretty action-packed game and keeps moving. Adam got to play several positions during his 3 (out of 4) quarters of play. He got to play midfield (what he usually plays), where he basically runs after the ball, no matter where it goes. He played defender and stayed near our goal mostly, but went no further than midfield. He even got to play forward for a little while during the 4th quarter. He's just not as aggressive. Adam's finally getting to where he can watch (& guess) where the ball is going, so he can run to meet it.Adam really likes soccer & has a great team & coach. I guess it's worth the time & effort on my part, for the fun he has.The girls and I even came up with a cheer (that they are NOT ALLOWED) to yell at games. A! D! A! M! Go, Adam! Go!

Here are the rest of the pics from the soccer game. (Choose slide show at the top to see them all.)

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache...

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
