Soccer Season is Done (For Now)

Well, Soccer is over- thank goodness. I enjoyed going and watching Annelise play and she had such a good time and learned a lot, but I will be glad to have my Tuesday nights back and be able to eat dinner as a family again on those nights. Her team had their pizza party last night and she got her trophy- you would have thought it was made of real gold as excited as she was about it. We are going to let her play in the Spring and Fall next year. Now we have to find somewhere for Emmaline to play basketball. That will be a challenge since she is only 4. But she is really wanting to play. I think that is going to make for some interesting entertainment, considering her temper. I pity the fool who succeeds in taking the ball away from her. This week-end was great, I must say. I went shopping on Saturday and then came home (to an empty house!) and watched football all alone until one in the morning. Aunt Libby had the girls all day and night on Saturday, and Brian was at the BMW plant, racing all kinds of BMWs around the track as fast as he wanted. I talked to him a few times and he sounded like he was on crack he was so excited. He came home after dinner and didn't feel well, so he went to bed and I stayed on the couch and watched football. It was a great day (it also helped that Carolina got taken down by an un-ranked team and that Clemson blew Cent. Michigan away...) I was not overly impressed with Clemson's performance Saturday (points mean nothing to me), but I'll take it. This week, I am going on a field trip to the Apple Orchard with Emmaline and then on Saturday, I am having a yard sale, and going to a halloween party for the girls that evening. (I am going to try to squeeze in watching the Clemson game at 3:30 and then catch the Carolina game at 7:45- thank goodness for TIVO!) Sunday we are going to church and then we will probably hang out at my parents or my aunt's house all day because we are going back to church Sunday night for Trunk or Treat- which is always great for the kids. So, until this week-end we are coasting with not much going on. I am sure that will change. I hope to go to the gym tonight. I guess we will see how things go with Brian and the girls before I plan that. Still no prospects on land, but it hasn't been that long since we started looking. I am not worried about that. Oh- the picture up top is of Annelise scoring a goal. I thought that would be a good tribute to her soccer season. Maybe she will be the next Mia Hamm.
