Girl's Being Good Sports

I had the pleasure of attending two of Meredith's indoor soccer games this weekend. Keegan and Meredith usually play at the same time or far apart, so Susan and I are usually split, but this weekend it worked out so I could watch Meredith.

The girls are so cute, because they still cheer for the other team and make the "bridge" for them to run through. So today, I salute the good sportsmanship that both girls teams displayed today.

Baking with Meredith

Meredith wanted to try out our new Pampered Chef pan, so she helped whip up some Funfetti brownies. 30 minutes later they taste delicious!

All Quiet at Home

Both kids (and the wife) are tucked in bed. The only light on is from the hallway night light. The wind is howling outside and we are all snuggled up and warm inside.

Indoor Soccer Practice

I wish years ago I would have begun to clock the hours that I have spent at soccer with my son. He has been playing since he was 6. Today's picture is a shot of indoor soccer practice. The team has had their ups and downs and right now we are on an up and we have such a great group of guys on the team...they are really starting to connect and are able to read one another. Final indoor game is this Sunday night at LANCO Fieldhouse against Lanco who beat us 7-6 in the last minute last week. Here is hoping things will be different this week!

DREAMING BIG!

I don't normally play the lottery, but for some reason yesterday I decided to get a ticket for tonight's $96 Million Powerball. I plan to go to bed dreaming how I would spend the money if I won. I know a few family members I'd help, a great vacation, a new van for the wife, and several charities that would get a big donation.

Naval Oranges

Naval oranges--sweet and juicy. Remind me of my parents who are avoiding all of this cold and snow in Florida. Unfortunately their naval orange tree did not survive this year.

Bargain Shopping!

Today, Susan and I got to do something that we haven't done in a while. The kids were occupied, so we had time to do some bargain shopping. We hit the clearance racks at Kohl's and then hit the jackpot at Old Navy. They were having an EXTRA 40% off the clearance prices. We even got a few Christmas presents for next year.
