Saturday Night Quickie

This was our first soccer-free weekend in 3 months!!! It was nice to be off-schedule, but I sure did miss the fun. The high here today was around 37 ... bbbrrrrrrr!!! ... so I'm pretty glad we didn't have to spend any time outside. One of our favorite "honorary Landsberger"s spent the night ~ the super-fun-deluxe, Katie Wiele. Our morning began at a very early 5 am because I had to make these:

Bradley also got up with me at 5!!! WHAT??? Bradley ... the kid we dress while he's asleep before school every

day and then carry down the stairs to eat ... good grief!!! He was in a great mood though ... but his happy voice aroused the little boys ... and then Stephen. Everyone but the girls was up by quarter til 6!

Rob, Stephen, & I ran to Lowe's to get a light/fan for the bathroom, but when we got home and Rob started installing it, he realized the other one wasn't even broken ... just some sort of little glitch ... he unwired & wired it back and it works fine ... a good way to save $38.98.

While we were gone, Kayla & the little boys made cookies! Bradley was asleep from noon (when he got in trouble for 'pants-ing' his sister) until after 4 o'clock!!! Again, WHAT??? He got up in a great mood though and everyone played & played until it was time for bed.

Kayla went next door to babysit Cameron & Maddy. She loves that green stuff!!! ... And she's saving up to buy an IPod Touch. She wants to sell her IPod on ebay and use that money + what she earns babysitting and gets for Christmas to get the newest & coolest IPod ever!!!

Night, night.

Updating while waiting for Sis to get home. :) Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Friday! Friday! Friday!!! Thank Goodness It's Friday!!!

Showing some Bulldog Pride Today!!!

True Love!!! Kayla & Drewie

Cameron's Haircut

Cameron and Drew gave themselves a haircut this week. I had trimmed Stephen's hair over his ears because he was looking shaggy and left the clippers on a surface lower than 10 feet high ... pretty, huh?

Bradley wasn't mad ... he just wanted me to take a picture of his "Stink Eye"!!! What a stinker!

Monday Morning Follow Up ~

The Panthers went on to win their first game on Sunday morning and then played the team they tied on Saturday morning in the Championship game Sunday afternoon (boy ... that sounds confusing). I was mistaken on the Yellow Card ... that was someone else ~ I thought Robbie was awfully calm when he told me that!

Anyway ... the Panthers came in second place and the family returned home around 6:00 last night. Brad & Kayla were sound asleep, but one of them managed to find a smile for me ... haha! My friend Jennifer took the team picture! She's totally terrific!!

We also had a wonderful surprise on Sunday! Katie & her mom stopped by for a little while as they were going to MSSU to the Senior Day soccer game! They boys were so excited to see her ... and me too! It's just always so sad when she has to leave. Katie (who's real name is Kaney ~ the boys just never seemed to catch on to that) has decided to turn down NC State grad school and is leaving in a few weeks to go to Colorado to work for a while before trying out for the national soccer team! We are so proud of her! Hooray!!!!!

Very cold again today ... overcast ... looks snowy even! Nothing much going on here ~ one spilled bag of Doritos and a clogged toilet ... same ol', same ol'. Have a great day!

Saturday Night Quickie

The Pink Panthers tied their first game 0-0 and won the second game 2-0! GO PINK!!! Kayla has Bradley & her dad in KC cheering her & the team on to victory!!! "Old Katie" (our "old" wonderful nanny) even drove over from Kansas to watch the first game! The Panthers placed well in this tournament last year! Looking for a repeat! ... sidenote: Kayla did pull a yellowcard today for dropping an elbow. Hopefully tomorrow she will stay out of trouble!

I made a lovely coconut cake & a couple dozen cheesecake pops for a local private school (fundraiser) auction ... the cake went for $90 and the pops went for $80!!! WOWZA!!!

Stephen spent the afternoon raking leaves and then jumping in them with Amanda! This picture is from Amanda's birthday party 2 years ago ... they have changed so much!!!!

The little boys & I stayed inside, where it's warm. The high today was like 38 degrees!!! bbbrrrrrr!!!!!! We spent a lot of time building lego towers and painting with watercolors. That is an everyday favorite! It's supposed to make it to 50 degrees tomorrow ... but down to 25 tonight!!!

Happy Saturday!!
