Blog ADD
Well, yesterday I changed the background on my blog three times. It's not even that easy, I have to change all the text so it matches each time, and then I decided I didn't like it, 3 times! I think I'm done. I realized that this background is kind of relaxing on the eyes, and that might be a good thing to have. If my body can't realx, my mind can't relax, then heck, let my eyes relax!
Side note: I think that adult diapers would have a lot more uses if only people really thought about it. Take for instance the camping/hiking trip. Imagine yourself zipped up in your sleeping bag, eighteen hundred layers of clothes on (maybe that's just me), and you realize it's sometime in the middle of the night and you have to go (even though you stopped drinking anything after 6:30pm). I mean really go (let's think pee here folks). Because let's face it, your body knows you don't want to get out there in the cold and the bladder screams "WE REALLY MUST GO, NOW". You can't even unzip a tent without everyone within 1/2 mile radius hearing it. Finding a flashlight in a dark tent can be another trial, and if you succeed at that, get the tent unzipped, find a place to pee, you still have to pretend not to think about bugs and whatnot biting your behind while attempting to get your bladder to relax. Anyway, I was just thinking that PERHAPS a diaper in this situation might not be uncalled for. You wouldn't even get cold, you would actually get a little warmer for a moment, right? Just a thought. No I haven't tried it but I bet if I did Morrie would buy me my own tent just out of disgust.

Balls!
Well, I did a whole post about decorating and somehow blogger decided it wasn't good enough and erased it. Shoot. However, I do have one story left that I didn't tell earlier. Last year when I packed up all the ornaments, I was SUPER organized. Each container was packed in precision like manner. When the lid was lifted off this year, a large peice of paper said "Maria's Ornaments", or Isabelle's Ornaments", or "Family Ornaments", or "Balls". That way the girls would immediately know which box was their's and spend 45 minutes opening it without complaints of "Where is my Reindeer/Star/Santa/Etc ornament?????".
Well, needless to say the children were SO excited that they ripped the lids off the containers and grabbed the first package out of it and started unpacking. My beautiful signs drifted to the floor like some forgotton toy from "Toy Story". It took a whole day for my husband to notice a peice of paper laying around that said "balls". FYI, he is very, very sick, normally his radar would have picked up on it within 15 seconds. I look up from the computer and he has it conviently placed with a grin on his face. Then he staggered back to the couch and and said something that sounded like a 12 year boy (normal) whose voice is cracking (not normal, result of nasty cold).

Shut OUT!
Well, these special girls (Kiana on the left and Izzy on the right) had a great day. They are in the middle of their league standings wise and have recently had a killer schedule playing the top 3 teams back to back. They have had several ties (3 or 4 I think) which would seemingly be frustrating, but maybe they don't mind, I don't know. Anyway, today I was so proud of them. They always play really well, and they were justly rewarded with a 5-0 shut out. Last time they played this team it was 2-2, so it was quite an improvement.
Kiana herself scored 2 of the goals and even saved a ball from going in the net! She was everywhere! Isabelle managed the middle of the field very well even though one of the other players knocked her flat on her back! The girls had an awesome passing game and I think Ivo was quite proud since they work on passing 75% of the time! One more game for the fall season and then we break for 3 weeks (woohoo!).

My New Favorite Blog!
So my friend told me about this hysterical blog. It belongs to someone whose family is very old friends of ours, so I was happy to catch up with her life again. You can find it at www.mrsmouthy.com. She always ends with what they are having for dinner, and it's pretty impressive (seriously, they really eat like this). So here is what she posted recently:
"WHAT’S COOKIN’ 2NITE:BraciolaCauliflower Gratin
…and because someone asked yesterday, braciola is a flank steak rolled with parmesan and provolone that’s pan-seared on all sides, then cooked with wine and marinara sauce for 2 hours. It is pure awesomeness. If you ask for the recipe and prove your worth, I will painstakingly type it up and post it so you can all sigh and groan and wish you had such mad cooking skills as me."
So I would like to impress you all and end with what WE are having for dinner tonight. We are having leftover (it's good already huh?) Taco Stuff (yes, that's what we really call it) in a bowl with smashed up chips and ripped up lettuce. Perhaps a spoonful of sour cream thrown in as long as the sour cream doesn't smell too sour. I know, you are jealous...

Hi's and Low's
Hi: Maria had another indoor game last weekend. It was tough, they did loose even though they scored 5 goals. Someone I know scored 3 of those goals and had an assist. It was beautiful! I loved the assist, it was a perfect pass to the center, the goalie totally thought Maria was shooting and tried to block the shot that never came. Instead, Maria had passed it to her friend Jordan, who was playing in her 3rd game of her life, and all she had to do was tap it into the open net!!
Low: Isabelle tripped while she was running outside, and stubbed her big toe, and really scraped it up. She was crying and crying asking me to make it stop hurting. Oh, how my Mommy's heart was squeezed, I was practically crying myself. My kids hardly ever get hurt anymore, and I can't remember the last time she cried because she was in pain. I had her hugging me, as much for her sake as it was for mine. She is doing better today, and I think the band-aid glue that we tried this afternoon might do the trick. *sniff*

What a game!
I had my best photography at a soccer game last weekend! I have lots of pictures of the other girls as well, but I didn't want to overwhelm you! Look at our Izzy go!
Last time they played this team, they lost 0-3. This time they tied 1-1!
The ball is right between her feet!
