Snake Update

Like most people with kids, we have been very busy with school ending. There have been band concerts, report cards, Brownie parties, etc. and I will be blogging about all of that soon. But by far the most asked about topic from my blog lately is the snakes. Everyone asks me "what have you done about the snakes?". Well, while I have been trying to scare them away and chasing them into the neighbor's yard (not yours Lisa), the kids have been trying to make friends with them.

Make you melt

Add this to the list of things I never thought I would see, my husband willingly going to a dance with his daughter.

What the heck

Ok, I thought that the snakes and I had an understanding. They stay out of my way and I will stay away from them. But now I feel like they are just taking advantage!

Celebrity Sighting!

Ok, so I NEVER see celebrities. I hear stories of running into famous people at airports or restaurants or at Nike, but it hasn't happened to me...until now! Friday we spotted Jerry Seinfeld and Larry Miller eating at P.F. Chang's right outside of Pete's building in the Pearl and I have photographic evidence!

Katie's Soccer Season?

Another soccer season is wrapping up, it's Katie's 7th. Hard to believe that my second grader has played for 7 seasons! Crazy. But as much as this is her 7th season, it's my 7th season too. She chose the sport, but I have come to love it. While Katie loves playing, I love sitting in the park on a beautiful sunny Saturday, with the other soccer parents and watching the girls have a great time. Many of these girls, and our amazing Coach Doug, have been together for 6 seasons now. That's 6 seasons of sitting on the sidelines with my fellow soccer parents and cheering, chatting and laughing together. I find that when the sun is shining, I look forward to Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings when I can sit with those friends and watch the game unfold. It's funny how much the kids sports and sport teams become a part of our adult lives. I'm not sure how Katie feels about this season coming to an end, but I know that I will be counting the days until the next one begins.

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to say thank you to the two Moms in my life. Have a great day!

Special Bulletin

This is a special bulletin for those of you who followed along with The Money Pit.... I BOUGHT A LIGHT FIXTURE FOR THE BATHROOM!!!!

Finally.

And I have decided not to post a picture of it. After not having one for a year, I have accepted the idea that it really doesn't matter. Only a handful of people even noticed that there wasn't one there. We even had an appraisal last month and the appraiser didn't notice that I didn't have a light fixture. So, I truly believe that once this one gets installed, no one will give it a second look.
