Just what time is it?

Well Dylan popped up this morning promptly at 6:30 a.m., a quick diaper change, and he was back to sleep. I came in to hubby’s office to get on my laptop for just a bit, and at 6:45 a.m. Thade is wide awake, and is hanging out with me at the moment. So long sleeping in till 7:00 a.m., these two just keep waking up earlier and earlier.

Oh well, we’ll get an early start to the day 😉 It looks like it might snow today, and we need to make a run to Walgreens. We are out of tissues again, we must have a lot of allergies around here. James has a half day at work today, so I know Thade will be thrilled about that!

Good morning everybody, I  hope that your morning didn’t start off too early 😉

Our Little Soccer Star

This evening was  pretty interesting. Thade had his first soccer practice, and it was freezing. Thade was crazy and all over the place, he ran up and down the field, and had a little bit of trouble waiting his turn. I think he might be a little better suited for Football, he likes to tackle and pick up the ball. He did have a lot of fun, and it looks like it is going to be a great season. I hope that next practice goes a little bit better, and that the weather is just a bit warmer too.

I’ve also signed up to bring drinks and snacks to a game, so I’ll have to come up with some tasty goodies to feed 11 kids.

First Soccer Practice

Tonight is the first Soccer Practice for Thade, and he is so excited. He woke up at 7:30 a.m., dressed, and ready to go. Practice isn’t until 5:45 p.m., so this is going to be a long day, I think we’ll visit Dad at work to help break up the day. We are hoping that the weather holds out too, it doesn’t look like snow for this evening, but you never know.  I’ll have to bundle up Dylan though, it is going to be chilly.

Thade will be playing for The Tigers! I hope that he has a lot of fun, and makes some great friends too.  Next we have to shop for Shin Guards and Cleats too, very important 😉

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 😉

Oatmeal for Breakfast

Last night at bed-time Thade said that he would like to try Oatmeal for Breakfast. I thought great, a healthy inexpensive breakfast, and Thade is wanting to try a new food, this is good:)

Early this  morning we were in the kitchen prepping the breakfast, I was in charge of the stove, and Thade stirred the uncooked Oats in his Spiderman bowl. When the water was boiling, he happily handed over the stirred oats. After about a minute of me stirring and breakfast was ready. I waited a little bit for the Oatmeal to cool, and presented the yummy bowl of Brown Sugar Oatmeal. Thade looked at the bowl rather oddly, and poked at the Oatmeal with his Spiderman spoon. He said “this is Oatmeal, I like it better in cookies”.

He did try one bite, and then asked for cereal instead. At least he tried, and I got to eat the Brown Sugar Oatmeal in the Spiderman bowl for my breakfast, it was pretty tasty 🙂
