Tired

Soccer ended on Saturday. I had to wake up at 6 on the only day of the week I ever have the opportunity to sleep in, and when I say sleep in I mean 7 am. I love watching the kids play soccer but I was ready for a break. The weather is turning and spending 2-4 hrs out by the soccer field with Abigail was getting old. Well, looks like my break is short lived. Basketball starts this Saturday! Ryan has wanted to play for awhile. He talks about it a lot. We went back and forth about whether we were going to let him play, after all he is only 5. But when it came down to it, we couldn't let him down. It does not interfere with church, which is the first thing we check. And we have the extra money required to sign him up. Plus, it will be right down the road from our house, in the new high school, and not half an hour away like soccer. There will be more soccer, but for now it's basketball. I'm just praying he doesn't get put on the team that has to be there at the crack of dawn!

Cha Ching!

I went to a different walmart yesterday when I had to be out in that area. You all should know by now that any walmart is at least 20 minutes away from me, as well as the nearest Kroger and Target is twice as far so I rarely make it there! Anyway, I always look through the clothes sections, because I find good deals and I have a child in every department (baby, boy and big girl). I found a $1 clearance rack in the baby section. So here is what I got:

The blue and pink outfits you see at the top are 3 piece outfits, including a shirt, shorts and flip flops for Hannah next summer. I paid $3 for each.
I also got 11 pair of shorts, including a pair of capris, 2 pair of biker shorts, and the rest just plain shorts for Abigail for next summer. Also a skirt, a one piece outfit and a dress. All for $1 each! For a total of $20!

P.s. Notice Abigail's little hand grabbing down in the corner? She kept grabbing the clothes on purpose after I had lined them up straight for the picture. No smack on the hand or rear was stopping her. I thought Hannah was my strong willed child but I think Abigail has her beat. I'm in trouble!! =)

Looking back

Today Brad and I attended a wedding of church friends. Hannah and Ryan were in the wedding so I have spent a lot of time over the past week thinking about the wedding and hair and talking about how to behave during a wedding. And talking to the bride. Feeling all those feelings. Let's just say it has been on my mind. =) So today, after pictures, a beautiful wedding and reception, I asked Brad if he would ever want to go back 10 years ago. Ya know, to the excitement, romance, newness,and everything else you experience when you are first married. Not that there isn't still excitement, but you know. We both have loved the past 10 years and I would never change a thing but there is just something about having been married so long that is amazing. I often complain about how fast 10 years has gone by, but in reality, I don't want to go back and do it again. I love where we are now, what God has done for our family, even when things haven't been how I wanted them. I am so excited for the next 10 years with Brad and my kids. And to prove it, we both answered that we like the experience we have now and we wouldn't go back and start over just for the "feelings."
