Addie Starts Soccer

Addie had her first soccer class today.  They do drills the first 1/2 hr. and then play a game (if you can call it that) the last half hour.  She LOVED it.  At first during the game, she was just running along the outside of the pack which surprised me but then she got to feeling more comfortable and was right in the middle of things.

The other girls on her team would go take breaks on the sidelines (at some points there were only 2 girls on her team on the field) but not Addie, she played the whole time and was running as hard as she could.  She thought every time she kicked it out at the end of the field that she'd scored a goal.  She'd turn around yell "Yes!" and hold up her fingers with her total goals.  She "scored" 6!

When I Grow Up...

Today when we were driving down the road Addie asks

Addie: "Mom how am I going to get a car when I get to be a mommy?"
Me: "When you get big you'll buy one"
Addie: "Where will I get the money?"
Me: "You'll get a job and save your money until you have enough to buy a car"
Addie: "What kind of job will I get?"
Me: "What kind of job do you want to have?"
Addie: "I think I'll be a window washer"

Pretty cute.  Oh and the next part of the conversation went like this

Addie: "How did you get your car when you got big mommy?
Me: "My daddy actually bought it for me"

I probably should have lied and told her I saved the money - sorry Scott!

Owen's Quotes

Scott: "Owen, which classes did you have today."

Owen: "Art"

Scott: "Do you like art?"

Owen: "No, I don't think I'm an art guy.  I think I'm more of a recess guy."

Gardening

This year, since we're moving mid-sunmer, we didn't plant a big garden.  I was just going to do herbs but Owen had to have one tomato plant and wanted to try and grow carrots this year.  He can't wait so every now and then we pull up one to see how they are growing.  This is what it's looking like these days.  He actually ate them and said they were delicious!  Hopefully they'll grow a lot in the next 2 1/2 weeks before we leave!  I love that O loves to garden!

Blueberry Pie & Whittling

For one of Parker's Bear Scout requirements, he had to help make a dessert for his family.  We made this blueberry pie.  He did a great job, it was really yummy.  (Notice O in the back with nothing but his underwear!  The kids were in their pjs when I took this pic.  This is Owen's new thing to sleep in only his undies.)

 He also had to whittle.  He whittled this mini bat/ mini paddle.

Parker loves scouts and loves to work on it.  Scott tries to help work on his requirements on Sunday afternoons.

Addie's Cheeks!

Why is it that little girls never notice that their swimsuits are up their bum?  You'd think it would bother them but it doesn't seem to.  I love seeing Addie's little cheeks hanging out of her suit - so cute.
