My weekend in review.....

See the well deserved medals to the right....
My son played a tournament this weekend, and walked away w/ 2nd place...pretty cool, huh?
The boys worked so hard....and the excitement was contagious.
I am sooo proud of that kid.
He's going to be such an amazing man....
He's such a cool kid...
Really.
Oh, and one of those medals is mine actually.
From the coach I feel never quite understands what I do for him as manager...well, he told the organization that he wanted a medal for me too.....ahhh-hhh...such a sweet gesture. ;)
Of course Jared was thrilled "Now you can SCRAP one mom!"...heehee....yep.....now I can.

My picnic basket has cooties,
which is a problem for a basket that is really designed to hold FOOD....
Yep....I bought it from a friend who is getting rid of her longaberger basket collection. (Sidenote. She would be one that "collects" the baskets, and has them all over her home...I have 4, well, 7 if you count the boys Easter baskets, but I wasn't)
OK, so I have been drooling over Gabby's picnic basket for 2 years now....so when I was offered one that is pristine for 1/2 price....I said heck yeah......my friend then had to go and get the flu.....like the flu flu...the coughing sniffling chills sick for weeks flu......but lucky me....she managed to bring the basket to me at preschool....cooties and all.....so now, the irrational hypochondriac (aka me) has the basket sitting on top of the frig....it's met the lysol....it's pretty....but I'm convinced it's going to somehow...give me the flu.....so it's just going to sit ....for a long, long time... no one can tell me otherwise.....

Froggy came to visit this weekend, Jack showed him a good time. Froggy is the preschool mascot....a stuffed red frog.
It was our weekend w/ Froggy, you keep a journal, and then Jack gets to share it w/ the class. Well, you realize this meant I "had" to scrap the visit...of course ;) The best part was that Jack did a number of drawings documenting the visit. The one I found most amusing was titled "Jack and Froggy go Swimming at the Hotel Pool" ...umm, we didn't go to a hotel, and in fact, we didn't go swimming. Funny funny kid that one.

Gabby came to visit Friday, and enabler that I am, I "helped" her spend a buttload on FABULOUS turkey day decor....
Ooo-la-la.....target has the best crap, really....I do love it so.
SO, my sister is going to be VERY martha this thanksgiving....I can't wait.
She got turkey goodies....I got a vacuum.....lame lame lame.
unfortunately for my coolness level....the vac was exciting for me....THAT is sad, very very sad.

Final note...if anyone knows something that might get RED gatorade out of the WHITE jersey (shown in the top photo).....help a sista out...ok? It's now a pink jersey....and w/ another tourney this weekend....this is BAD...very very BAD. And the laundry fairy is at a loss.

Nothing else tooo exciting to report from the weekend.
Pretty much just soccer and beautifying the house for the move....

Ok, one last picture, because he's soooo cute, I could just eat him up ;) xxxxe
