Soccer

Jerett came home from school one day telling me all about a new Soccer Team he wanted to be on. He had a sheet with information about a spring soccer league that would be starting soon and he was REALLY excited. We signed him up- and figured it would be a great opportunity- especially since it was only a four week session.

Jerett can find the fun in anything- even when he should be somewhat serious. At his first game, he was spotted lying in the grass, on his back, watching the clouds go by. At other times we spied him picking his nose. He was just happy to be there, not too concerned with the ball or where it needed to go. Overall, we enjoyed watching him run around- and by the end of March, he was really figuring it all out.

Jesse had fun at the games too! He rolled down this small hill over and over again- Cracking himself up.

Jordan and Jada joined us for a game and some fun!

Inspiration...

Inspiration comes in many forms- for Jerett it came from this library book he chose at school. Everything inside looked so delicious. Often he would tell me, "Mom I'm going to make this," and show me a picture of some fancy dessert. So... when his turn for FHE treats came around, we made these YUMMY Kiss cookies. Boy were they a hit- and we had a super fun time making them too. Great idea bud!

Good Ol' St. Patty

St. Patricks Day has always been a favorite for me! Maybe because I had an Irish friend in high school- and each year we would make a "green feast" to celebrate. I really think it's funny that you MUST wear green or get pinched! Who makes these things up? Jerett was on the prowl all day, just waiting for the opportunity to catch someone unprepared!

As you can see, it was a goofy day for us, definately unique. The "green eggs and ham" was a fun way to start the day. It looked scary, but, according to the boys, tasted just fine. (I didn't dare eat any. The cookies, however, were a different story- I had more than my fair share!) To top off the day, we had the traditional corned beef and cabbage for supper. YUMMMMMMMMM!
