Gotta brag!

Isn't that what most of this blog is anyway? Bragging about the boys?

Tristan found out that he made his school's track team in the long jump and the 200 meters! He was so excited when he got home yesterday, WOOOOHOOOO!

Not like we don't have enough stuff going on. That was one of the thoughts that ran through my head but I kept it to myself. Ha!

Let's start the week off well!

Good morning from Aidan and Opal!

TGIF

Anyone else drag themselves out of bed this morning? I had to force myself to get up and see if it had snowed enough for a school delay. We did have the snow but not the delay, ugh! It's funny, you can tell how hard of a time I had getting myself to work by what I'm wearing. For instance - today I have on a track suit and tennis shoes. I would have worn jeans if I thought I could have gotten away with it. I get to sleep in tomorrow, yahooooo!

Fly-by Week

I've wanted to post for a while but haven't had the time to do it! Here's a recap of some things:

The boys and I watched Australia this weekend! Loved it! Expected it to be a love story but it was so much more! Great movie for biracial children, Nullah stole the movie.

We had an awesome full moon earlier this week. I was going to take a picture to share with you guys but got home and American Idol stole my attention, that thought was long gone until the next morning - ha! I have a favorite on the show already:

Danny it is!

We are starting that crazy schedule with soccer and everything else we can squeeze in on top. Every night we have some sort of activity to be at!! Even the mornings right now. The boys signed up for archery at their school which is great but it means they have to be there at 7:40 instead of our normal 8:40, it makes things a bit tough in the mornings. (Mostly because they don't want to go to bed earlier in the evenings - what sense would that make?)

We are working on science projects right now. They aren't due until after Spring Break but I like getting things done ahead of time. I'm having a bit of a problem with Tristan's though - we are working with bread mold and I can't get any to grow! Funny how it happens when you don't want it too. It's been 12 days now and nothing. I think a large part of the problem is that I went and bought new bread at the store for the experiment so it will take a lot longer since it wasn't close to the expiration date. OMG! Stupid me.

Pic to share

What an awesome picture even if he hates his basketball team! Just had to share it with you guys. Don't worry - he only has one more game and then he's done.

T was supposed to start his outdoor soccer season yesterday but wouldn't you know it, his game was cancelled due to the surprising snow storm we got at 9 am! I couldn't believe it, one minute I'm looking outside at cloudy conditions and the next I look to see snow pratically coming down sideways. Crazy!

Bye Bye!

So long T.O. See ya!

I'm surprised we let him go but I'm also happy! I've never been a fan of his and I'm glad Jerry Jones has woken up.

How much you want to bet he goes to Washington now so that we have to play against him twice a year? I wouldn't put it past him!

Adios, #81.

Soccer tournament update and other stuff.

Tristan's team got a head start on their spring soccer season by playing in a tournament this past weekend. I wish that I had better news but they got 3rd again. Kind of ironic because we were the 3rd team in our division and the top two teams went to the championship. Our push came a little too late, we tied our first two games and won the third 9-0. We felt some pressure knowing that in our last game we had to have a shut-out to get the points we needed to tie for 2nd place. We did it but lost the tie-breaker in # of wins. Bummer!!! Anyway, T played well. 4 goals for a defensive player!

My foot was swollen for a few days. The first two days I wore my slippers. Yep, out everywhere I went - even all day Saturday at the park for the tournament. Sunday I progressed to flip flops but it was chilly so I covered up in a blanket. Monday, I wore some clogs to work and today I have on some tennis shoes. Finally! I didn't expect the swelling but I'm getting better. It's a little itchy now so I'm getting there!

A little news for you:

I hope this is real - I think it's the coolest thing ever. It's supposed to be a pink albino dolphin that was spotted in Louisiana.
