soccer saturday!

well soccer season officially started today! we had a full day of it, with layla’s game at 9am, shane’s at 12:30, and then dave reffed a game after that. dave is coaching both kids’ teams this year.

first up, layla:003    same team this year as last year, same 6 girls. she’s #8 this year… 8 has been shane’s number for years. how cute is that?

004     at U-7, they still don’t have an actual ref, so each team is supposed to provide someone to ref one of the halves. shane got to be the ref this time!

006     we’re still working on layla’s level of aggressiveness, and actually WANTING to get the ball… but she’s not a complete space cadet this year!

007    and of course, snacks are still very important.

then it was on to shane’s game:008     this is definitely a different team than former dynamite. we retained 7 players from last year and have 11 new ones. we also lost todd as head coach, so dave is running the show this year.

010    both teams were in red, so, as the home team, we had to wear the pinnies. so for this game, we’re yellow.

024     shane had some great moves today. super speed and some great passes. I love watching him turn it on when he needs to get somewhere. that kid can fly!026    unfortunately, after 2 early goals, our team seemed to run out of gas, and the other team scored 3 in the second half. boo. we’re not used to losing.

028009     micah did a little of this… he also played in the dirt.

027    layla made this. it’s a mouse! isn’t that cute?

and then, it was dave’s turn to run across the street and ref his first game!031034033     look at him, being all official!!

go diamonds! go dynamite! go dave! LOL!

here are layla’s curtains!  actually up on the window! i have to say i’m quite pleased with myself for actually getting this done.  but i have to give credit where credit is due… so thanks to my MIL for going to the fabric store w/ me and helping me with measurements and all that.  AND, thanks to debbie for letting me use her sewing machine and for ironing all the hems for me!  YAY!!!!

for my not-so-american friends

i didn't have an actual roll w/ the green plaid on it, but i found a refill and an empty roll in my junk drawer (yeah, i know, that should tell me something).  but even the empty one says 'scotch' on it.  there you go!  SCOTCH TAPE!

i’m sure i will offend all sorts people with this…

… but i just don’t get why the entire world is so torn up about the death of michael jackson. yes, he had an insanely successful career as a singer/entertainer/pop star. yes, he took a lot of that to a whole new level. yes, i remember thriller and doing the moonwalk. yes, i remember wanting one of those red leather jackets, and one of those sparkly white gloves. however… i’m also wondering why everyone else is seeming to forget how he bleached his skin (and then had a big hit stating that it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white… always wondered about that one), underwent so much plastic surgery that he barely looked human anymore, made crotch-grabbing an acceptable dance move, hung his kid over a balcony, showed up for court in his pajamas, and, oh yeah, was accused of child molestation HOW MANY TIMES??? this was a VERY disturbed man. i have never understood why being a celebrity excuses people from upholding the same morals and standards that we expect of normal people. i w...

what I wore wednesday

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s wednesday again!!! which means it’s time for me to brag about all of my incredibly well-thought out and likely expensive fashion endeavors prove to the world that I didn’t wear jammies all week. well, not all week… wednesday: tank: old navy, thrifted cardigan: handmedown jeans: thrifted flip flops: kohls earrings: target scarf: thrifted I was SO excited to find this scarf! it’s gorgeous! very silvery and shimmery, the blue flowers and so cute, AND it’s short! for somebody like me, who is of the not-so-tall persuasion, really long scarfs (or even standard length scarfs) can sometimes be a little overwhelming. you know? it’s like, “how many times can I wrap this thing around my neck before you can’t see my head anymore?” at any rate, this one is awesome and I love it and expect to see it on me a lot! I also found the process of trying to take a picture to be quite entertaining. I have a ‘people dog’, meaning, wherever her people are, that is where she th...
