Alyssa's Second Soccer Game of the season...

They won their second game 4-0. They did a good job. She started again this game.

Game number 3 today, if the rain lets up.

Sara's Kindergarten Dance Party

Sara had her "Dance Party" at school yesterday, it was so funny.

She had a great time and loved every moment of performing. She begged us to check her out after the program. She told us they have never called the class and said "Mrs. ....., please send Sara to the office to check out." We all started laughing, it was funny. So, we checked her out of school 30 mins early. She was so happy, she said can I do this everyday?

First High School Soccer Game

I know, I know I don't have ANY pictures.

Alyssa had her first soccer game of the season yesterday. She did a pretty good job. They didn't get their uniforms till yesterday afternoon before the game, so I didn't get any pictures before te game.

They don't have enough girls for a JV team and a Varsity team, so they are all playing on one varsity team. I was ok with it, till I saw some of the other teams girls. 8th grader playing against seniors? Some seniors are big!

Anyway, Alyssa started the game and played until there was only 20 mins left in the game! She had some time and bad kicks but over all I was very proud of her. She has come a long way since last year!

At that time we are looking around and see one player down on the field. Kory and I both are looking for Alyssa and can't find her, she was the one down on the field. Coach and the trainer went and got her off the field, Kory went over there to see about her too. I stayed with the little girls in the stands. She will be fine. Apprantly the other teams girl steped on her ankle and got her just between her shin guard and her shoe with her cleat. The trainer thinks the girl must have had metal cleats because the cut is a clean, straight cut, size and all like a metal cleat. (metal cleats are not allowed) So, she has a nice bruise and a good cut to remember her first high school soccer game!

Mardi Gras 2009 in Metairie

We ended up going to Cindy's on Friday for a weekend of Mardi Gras parades. It was alot of fun. The girls enjoyed it SO much. We ended up getting to see three parades over the weekend.

Sara's "marching parade".

Emma and Sara loved it when the closed the road and they could ride their scooters in the street. Alyssa even got in on the fun.

Warmer weather...

The girls and I have really enjoyed the last few days of warmer weather. I sat outside watching them play in the back yard for hours Saturday. I opened the back doors and they could come and go all weekend.

As soon as Sara got home from school yesterday that was the first thing she wanted to do. I opened the doors and let her do her homework outside on the porch at the table. She enjoyed it and thought it was fun. She asked if we could do that everyday.

They LOVE being outside!!

Alyssa's world...Soccer

THis afternoon we were all feeling better and Alyssa had been wanting to go to the soccer field, so we piled in the car and took her to the soccer field to play for a little while.

Girls will be Girls...

Emma and Sara love putting on make up. So, since we were all home this morning with Emma and I having strep. I got out the make up box. Next thing I know they turn around and look like this.

I wasn't sure if they were going out or going hunting???
