This is what happens...

when I am away from the house for long periods of time! So glad they are at least getting a healthy meal!

Da' Bears!

Papa came to town late Saturday night....after going to the NIU/Illinois game in Champaign...just to go to the Bears game on Sunday with me at Cowboys Stadium!! Well, I suppose he wanted to see the boys too!:) We had amazing seats in the Club Section...thanks to Jon's boss! We had a got to hang out at the full bar before the game and we were pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the game. My Dad and I were both physically and mentally stressed by the end of the game....I suppose we are related!:)

Luke's First Soccer Gamre

Luke had his first game on Saturday.....he loved it for 3/4 of the game and then was DONE! This was partly because it was at 3PM and he was tired from a long day. He looked too darn cute and it is so fun to see these little guys playing! He was annoyed his shinguards kept falling down, so Mommy got him some socks for this week and some tiny little cleats(he was mad he was wearing running shoes and Evan gets cleats:)).

Evan scored his first goal of the year on Saturday at his game. I was running in a race so I didn't get a picture, but I am very proud of him!

Really?

I watch the Bears game and find myself on the verge of stroke and this is Luke and Jon at the end of the game...

And they say women are moddy people...

I am sure in the crevices of his thoughts my husband tells himself frequently that I am moody, high maintenance and have my own agenda frequently that I don't let him in on.

Some of that t is true....though in Texas I am about as far from high maintenance as you can get.;).

However ,I find it mildly amusing that his Monday mood now depends on: if Ohio State won, if the Bengals won, how the Reds are doing in pennant race, how he is doing in his fantasy leagues, how work is going and of course what I am serving for dinner(fish tonight, so he was not exactly thrilled).

Just saying...

Evan's First Soccer Game

Evan had his first game over the weekend....at 8Am on Saturday morning. Jon was less than thrilled that we were up at dawn to get ready for a 5 year old soccer game, but this is from the guy who wants more kids to transport here and there.

His team is REALLY good and I had forgotten that Catholic School parents( I had 2 so I can speak from experience;)) are very competitive early on about sports....okay, maybe just my Dad. So, I am looking into getting Evan some skill coaching....no, I am not kidding. If you think I am being uber competitive, I am on the tame side. It doesn't help that the high school that all these kids will be going to, won the state championship in soccer last year. I really love his coach, so as good as the kids are, he really focuses on being good sports and teammates.

He has another game this weekend....at 8AM again....I will be running a race so Jon will be in charge.

Luke has his first game Saturday afternoon....should be cute to watch:).

To Infinity and Beyond!

Luke received a package addressed to:

Captain Underpants

Luke Hutcheson

It was from Grandma and Papa. Grandma always promises special something when the boys finish potty training. Evan got a few Thomas cars for his train when he finished potty training and Grandma found Luke these awesome Buzz LightYear pajamas! Luke is all about Toy Story and Star Wars right now so this made his whole universe better. We got them Thursday and he has worn them to bed every.single.day since.

He requires us to address him as "Buzz" when he is wearing them.

By the way, yes that is a pink pacifier in his mouth. And no, I feel no shame. He wont be three till November and he has potty trained and moved to a big bed in the last month, so the kid still gets his binks to sleep. It looks a bit silly, but it creates some peace and harmony in my universe and really, there isn't much of it so I will take what I can get.
