First Day as a soccer mom

What a crazy Monday! I went to work 7-11, then booked home to meet with Eva's infant educator. We had an exhuasting workout, then I sent both kids in for a nap (unsuccessfully I might add, no one fell asleep). Finished most of the laundry, then it was off to Darren's very first soccer practice.

We almost didn't have a team this year, due to lack of volunteer coaches. One mom did step up, but she has no idea what she's doing. It turned out Samantha Anderson's son is on our team, so it was nice to see an old CHS peep. Both of us stepped up to volunteer to assist with practices, I'm taking Mondays and she'll do Wednesdays. Oh, and Amy Belding was on the next team over...it's just a class reunion over here!

Still excited

Well, despite the fact that the results of my personal garments were dissapointing, I am still thrilled about the Tie Dye Party!!! It's funny, because I love all my friends, but I can tell which ones do not like to get their hands dirty. I still love you anyway, neat-and-clean-friends!

I want to keep going! I am totally considering tie dye sheets. I need to get some twin size anyway, fot the kids new beds....Hmmmmm.

Finally, I get to see the results!

Tie Dye Party

Yay! What a great day! I hope everyone had a good time making a mess...I know I did :)
I'm waiting for my projects to dry so I can post pictures. In the meantime, here's the pictures people have sent so far:

Pink and Green

Okay, so I've been pondering how to decorate the kids room, now that they will both be in there. I want to make it compatable with the dark green walls (too lazy to paint over them). So I had this great epiphany while I was changing a diaper of all things :) Ha!

My friend Lisa got me this georgeous pink and green diaper bag, and it's just the scheme I want. Mostly dark and light green, with accents in pink and magenta. I love it!

Fructooligosaccharide?!?

My mom bought some baby special DHA baby food and Eva hated it. Apple delight, I think was the name. Since this was the very first food she refused, I checked the ingredients and fructooligosaccharide was the third (!) ingredient. Beech nut baby food is officially on my s**t list! Ewwww!!!

Glad to see my daughter has descerning taste :)

Back from the Trail

Well, we had a great time on the Rubicon! The kids did great. You can see from the pictures how much Darren hates the outdoors. Notice how Daddy is holding Eva’s hand while she sleeps…Awwww!

Eva’s favorite part was the shiny grommet on the tarp that was keeping her dry. It was quite rainy, and yes, we even got some close calls with the thunder and lightning. We were well prepared though, with our nice new tent and an easy up, so we kept nice and dry. I actually like going when it's rainy, because there is so much less company on the trail. I even got to drive for awhile! I couldn't reach the pedals in our old CJ-5. Can’t wait to do it again!
