Today I became a Soccer Mom

My mom is probably cracking up somewhere as I’m writing this. Yep, today I became what I swore 10 years ago that I would never become, a Soccer Mom. I signed up Thade for youth soccer at our local community center. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun for the kiddos, and Thade is thrilled. We need to get some cleats, and he receives a T-shirt with his team logo soon. The coach should call soon with the practice schedules too. Its too bad David Beckham isn’t a local and the Soccer Coach 😉

We still have a month before the games start, and then they are played on Saturdays. I’ll be taking lots of pictures of our Soccer Star, and I bet Dylan will have fun getting to go to the games too.
Hmmm, Nico the Soccer Mom, I can smell a Mini-Van in my near future 😉

Please No Snow

Well it looks like I’m heading back to the store today, there is a big snow storm heading our way later this evening. Over the next 2 days we are looking at 3-6 inches of snow, and Nico is not so good in the snow. I hope that it doesn’t get too bad, I have to take Thade for his 4 year check-up/shots on Thursday. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind missing that appointment, but he kinda needs to go.

Time to make a quick list, and get to the store. I’ll have to bundle up the kids extra today too, right now it is a balmy 20.  Stay warm everybody 😉

54 and Snow

Today the weather read 54 degrees and Snow, I kid you not. At 7:30 a.m. it was nice and warm, and by 9:00 a.m., it had already dropped to below 40. At Noon the snow started, and it looks like it is here to stay for quite a while too. Thade is thrilled though, he loves the snow 😉 I’m not so excited about the snow, its just too darn cold.

Snowed In

Well the snow is still falling, and so far it looks like 1-2 inches. Not too bad, but enough to keep me off the roads. I don’t know what it is about the Wintry cold weather that makes me want to bake yummy goodies, and then hibernate.

Since we are snowed in I’ll be stocking the freezer with Banana Muffins and maybe some Oatmeal Muffins too. Thade has almost finished all of the No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies, so another batch of cookies might just make it on to my baking list for today 😉

How is your weather today? Are you snowed in as well?

We Have Snow :)

We got the boys out early this evening to look at Christmas lights, and it looks like we made home just before the snow arrived. The Christmas lights were beautiful, and the snow looks awfully pretty too. I Just hope that we don’t get too much snow, they are now calling for 5-10 inches.

We did get out to the store for extra supplies, but I didn’t get the Christmas pictures picked up. So I’m still behind on getting the Christmas cards out. Oh well maybe Monday I’ll finally get them, don’t tell the Grandmas, or else I’ll be in trouble 😉
