Time is FLYING!!

It seems that there is always a lull between seasons that we never fully take advantage of until the new season is upon us and we are scrambling to find time to do anything! The boys' schedules are consuming us now, and as much as we like it when they are busy and happy, it makes for a difficult time to fit all the other stuff in.

Hunter had his first soccer game on Thursday night and they won. We all froze out in the cold to watch and he did really good. He played again on Saturday and they tied. He had the goal that tied it up, which was great, and played a great game. Brandon had a game yesterday as well and they lost. It is the first time that his team has EVER lost the first game of the season. Very sad!! Brian took it in stride, though, and seems like he will be able to move on. Then last night the boys went to Saturday Night Out to compete in the Guitar Hero competition. Brandon was able to convince someone to play him for tickets (money to spend in the snack area). He proudly got into the car declaring that "he smoked" the older kid. He played on Expert and the other kid played on Easy and he still won and was walking out with the 5 tickets he won (also noting that we should be proud that he did not let the kid back out of the bet).

Brian and I just relaxed at home last night since I had been in OKC all day Friday (leaving around 8:30 am and returning home around 11:30 pm... LONG DAY!). It was nice to be able to grab a quick bite to eat with him and then go home and lay in bed in complete silence without the kids there. BLISS!

So this morning I looked at my calendar and was amazed that there was nothing there... Oh no, not nothing... just nothing scheduled. That means clean house, pack mail, etc.etc... So I am working on doing just that on top of taking the kids for haircuts and grocery shopping (which I only do once a year with the boys and they filled the pantry with garbage). Somehow I walked out of Walmart with a cart full of junk, a lot less money, and two boys with huge smiles on their faces... handsome boys though...

And for the man who gave me two handsome boys...

Feb 13. He gives up everything for date night.
Feb 14. He doesn't need to celebrate Valentine's day because he loves me that much every day. (He says he doesn't need a Hallmark holiday to remind him to show me... and that's true.)
Feb 15. He tried ice skating for the first time today so that the kids wouldn't be embarassed if they fell.
Feb 16. He still finds me attractive.
Feb 17. We make a good team.
Feb 18. He is reliable.
Feb 19. He will help out a friend even if it is outside his comfort zone.
