Well, once again it has been waaaayyyy too long since posting. I actually typed the first sentence you just read 4 or 5 days ago but only made it that far and am now getting back to it, although the timer for the mac n' cheese (yet another well rounded dinner) just went off, so I gotta go. We'll see if I get back to this today or not. Well I'm back. Owen is currently contained in his high chair eating mac n' cheese. Otherwise, he is all over the place and needing something right now. He is walking all over the place and very active and demanding at times. He has a mind of his own and is definitely going to be a handful.

Hannah getting her game face on.
Hannah's team actually played positions. Her favorite was defender because she could just hang back most of the game and not have to be aggressive. Here she is defending her goal. Unfortunately, I think the ball got by her, but bless her heart for trying. She really isn't very athletic.
Owen liked playing on the sidelines.
Owen's playing goalie, so he can touch the ball. He can kick pretty well and actually says kick--at least I think he does. I just know that when he is kicking a ball, he will make a kcck sound (kinda without the i).
As usual, things have been very busy. I've been dealing with the situation of Hannah and not wanting to go to school. This week was way better. She didn't seem reluctant at all to go in the morning, although I still have to walk her. Her teacher said she is doing well for the most part but does get a little more stressed when it is around recess time. We did finally find out that the accident the boy in her class had at recess (cutting his head resulting in lots of blood) did have more of an impact than she initially let on to. She said she always afraid that someone is going to get hurt at recess, so she doesn't like to go. If recess were down on the playground with the rings and bars, she would be fine, but with the weather being yucky (as it will be at least for the next 3-4 months) recess is up top on the concrete. Her teacher has been very understanding and let her stay in class and help her or go to the library. Although, she is pushing her a little more now to get back outside. Hopefully soon she'll be back to her old school and recess lovin' self.
We've still had soccer practices during the week and games on Sat. Today was Justin's last game. Hannah still has 3 more. Today was our first day of games in the rain including last season. The kids did fine. Hannah actually wanted to play in the rain. Justin was not as excited. His field was actually a big mud puddle, so they all got pretty wet. I felt bad for Owen. His little hands were so cold and red, but he would not keep gloves on. I was glad to get him out of the cold and wet. Two of Hannah's games left are at 9:00 A.M., so I hope they are not extremely cold. Justin didn't have any goals this season, but he definitely got some good kicks in, and I think will just continue to improve. He had his party and got his trophy, which is always the highlight for him. He feels so special. Here are some pics of him this season:
Well right now it doesn't seem to want me to post pics, so I'll try to post them in a separate post. I also have pics of Hannah playing and Owen trying to get in on the act.
Other than school and soccer and keeping up with Owen, I've been working on my new business venture I posted about earlier. I am an independent demonstrator for Uppercase Living, which sells awesome decorative expressions to put on the wall or other home decor items. I finally got my own order and had lots of fun last week putting it up around our home. It looks gorgeous. I get to make another big order because I've sold over $1000 worth during my UpStart period and get another $100 in product credit. I want to get some stuff for the kids' rooms. So far I've done two shows--my sister did a catalog show and last Monday I had my first in home show, which was a success. I already have two other catalog shows going and 2 home shows booked with another person wanting to book one. It seems to be going good so far. If you haven't seen a catalog and are curious about the product, you can log on to http://www.uppercaseliving.com/, go to the Customer Corner and use my ID of 532228 and registration token of lough to register and log on to view the entire catalog online. You can also use the MyDesign tool to design your own sayings with all different fonts, letter sizes and colors.
Okay well, I'm going to post this and attempt to post some pics and then I need to take some Nyquil and let it do its job. Poor Owen has had a bad cold and I apparantly got it and now feel very bad. A whole morning out in the rain and cold didn't help I don't think. Owen seems to be improving though, which is good. Well I guess I can post the images now, so here are the soccer pics and whatever else I find.

We went last weekend when we had a short stretch of awesome weather, but I need to get this posted, so I'll post that later.
TTFN, Ta Ta For Now
