tourney

Two and a half hours on the soccer field with a hyped soccer guy and his enthusiastic brother without dad means mom deserves a medal too! Real referees and what Aiden thought was a real field...a flaky astro turf from h-e-double hockey sticks that stuck to everything including KC's lips. It looked like grass flakes and little plastic dirt bits - glad they try to make it realistic...but I'm not too excited that we decorated the van with those clingy bits. I found it in KC's ears too - Ug!

Although everyone was happy and the sun felt nice during the four rounds of soccer and games. Plus Aiden is still wearing his new medal and insisted I hang up the poster the eagle guy gave him in his room.

We went home for naps and Aiden and I rested in front of our first viewing of the Polar Express. (We got a phantom unmarked package with the music cd for Polar Express and a chipmunk friend -was it from you?) The cd has been on repeat in the car and Aiden was begging to watch the movie. It was such a treat and made Aiden cry happy tears.

Then it was off to the BN book fair for Aiden's school. It was sticker craft heaven for KC and Aiden loved test driving the games and story time. It was a bummer that daddy wasn't there to read this year ;)
