Soccer



The boys started soccer tonight. Pure chaos. It was fun, nonetheless. Parents have to coach. Luckily our team has a parent that actually knows things about soccer. The boys thought it was way cool that their team color is green, just like it was for T-ball. They had so much fun they played more soccer in the backyard when they got home.

The Big Day, pt 2

The boys had a great day today! When I was driving them to school, I asked them if they wanted me to walk them to the playground or drop them off. I guess they don't need any hand holding, as they both said "drop off". When the exited the Silver Bullet, I didn't even get a glance back my way. I guess they are ready. After school, I picked them up before getting Megan. When we got to daycare, they asked the first friend they saw "Do you remember us?". They also made a point to say "hi" to all of their teachers, who probably missed them terribly.
Each day, they will get a color stamp on their daily calender they bring home. Green means good, yellow means you got a warning, blue means you missed 5' of recess/fun activity, red means you lose recess/activity. I am happy to report both came home with a green stamp. Some kid named Levi didn't fare so well-he got a yellow. He was the talk of the night....
My first day of school went well, too. Lots of running around.

More pictures

Here are some more pictures from our trip. We had an open house at the boys' school tonight. They met Mrs. Kautzman, found their desk, and toured the school. The Big Day is just around the corner.

Vacation, day 5




Today was our long day of driving....but we survived. Went out to Uncle Jim's lake home on Lake Coeur D'Alene-very scenic, but we could only stay for a bit as we had 8 1/2 hours of driving to tackle. Then, we did just that-drove and drove and drove all the way to Billings. Too late to swim when we arrived, so we just crashed.

Vacation, day 4

Daddy got some quiet time with Megan today. The boys and I, Grandma, Amy, Aunt Shirley, and Aunt Cherryll drove up to Coeur D'Alene today for shopping and sight seeing. Completed the obligatory swimming when we got back to the hotel, then off to the anniversary party, which I prefer to call my 35th birthday party. The kids stayed in the hospitality room with a sitter and several young cousins they rarely get to see and had a blast. Not many pics were taken today.
