Soccer and Preparation

Preparation......that is a word at the top of our family's vocabulary right now. We are busy cleaning, decluttering, reorganizing, etc to get ready for blessing #4's arrival. I can't believe my due date is exactly 3 weeks from today. I have a long way to go on our to do list, but I pray that we can get the majority of it done in time.

On Monday we were able to have soccer practice (the Saturday games were cancelled due to rain. the children were so sad) But...practice was freezing! It's hard enough when it's cold and windy, but when it's cloudy on top of that....it seems even colder. I did capture a few pictures of practice on Monday. Coach and the thick skinned Little Cobras. :-)

Not real sure what little Miss S was doing, but she was having fun. :-)

Little E kept warm by playing on the swings/slide, joining the Little Cobras scrimmage, and walking in between Big T and Sweet E's practices. Wish I could have felt warmer. I just pray the rain holds off for Saturday and that we at least have a little sunshine. :-)

Big T is in all blue.....I am happy I actually captured a picture of him AND the ball in the same shot. I usually take the picture too late. :-(


Procrastination.....that is the other word on my vocab list right now and it needs to be crossed off! So I better get off of the computer and get to work. Need to do work on the MB and get the bassinet put together in preparation for the baby. I pray that you all are having a great week. And to my Sissy.....HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT FIRST DAY at your NEW JOB! (((HUGS)))

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
