Soccer - Opening Day Game

So Katie had her first game on Saturday which was also part of opening day. It was a lot of fun with bouncy house and other games along with a consession stand, but the real fun was watching 4 and 5 year olds play soccer. They are just so cute with their little legs and their socks that sometimes go up all the way to their shorts and then the way they play. They get bored and distracted easily and then there was the little boy on the opposing team- the ball came towards him, he did not like where it was so he bent down, picked it up and moved it to where he liked it and then kicked it in for a goal.....

Katie did good overall. She is a little timid when the ball comes to her and she also tends to get distracted on the field but overall she did well. Here are some shots of the team and Katie playing....

Ramblings

So no real topic for today just some general musings and rambling......

We went out to dinner last nite and it was such a good meal. Good food, and the girls were angels.... We just went to a local Italian place that we love. the girls were so excited cause that meant spaghetti or as they call it sketti. They would eat it every day if I let them..... We ordered some appetizers last nite. Jim ordered some calamari and then Bear ordered breaded cauliflower. Both were yummy althought I can only do the rings in calamari- I cant do the whole little octipi.... Just cant do it.... But it was cute cause I offered Sarah some salad and she said NO tank you, I get sketti..... I then offered her the cauliflower and Jim and I both about fell off her chair when she took it, ate it and asked for another piece.... The girl who only eat lettuce, carrots, celery and corn actually ate a different veggie!!!!!!

The waitress was in love with our girls and she came over and talked Katie into letting her cut up her spaghetti. It made a difference because I think Katie ate over 3/4th of her dish! Sarah prob ate about half.....

I had made soup the nite before and Sarah was so excited. That girl loves her soup..... She ate really well. Katie told me it was yucky at first and would not touch it.... I am nut sure what happened but then she deicded to try it and decided she liked the pasta in (I used pastina) but she was not touching the chicken in it.......

I am not sure if it is the cooler weather or the fact that I have some sinus congestion but on Friday at the store I bought some English Breakfast tea and some African Red Roobis tea and I have really been enjoying a cup of tea lately. I even got Bear hooked on the English Breakfast with me.....

Class is going really well for me. Katie still likes to study with me.... She keeps saying she wants to be a hospital doctor so we will see..... I had my first lab exam and was so pleased to get a 94 on the exam!!!! Now I need to study for the lecture exam which is on Tuesday.....

Katie has been back to school for 2 weeks and is really enjoying it.... She even asks me to pick her up later in the afternoon so she has more time with her friends. Her and Daddy are set to go on a field trip to the Baltimore Aquarium later this month. I am sure they will have a blast....

Summer is not quite over

Jim took the girls to see the local farm baseball team last nite while I had class and lab. Katie has gone several times but this was Sarah's first time. She lasted 2 innings which was not too bad.....
