{A Really Weird Tuesday}

this tuesday just feels wonky.
it's the 100th day of school which to a kindergartener, is a big deal and the day will be filled with all kinds of 5 year old fun...so aubrey is staying full day.
sniff sniff.

...she wanted a picture of her fancy pony...and see that homemade 100 day necklace...

remember she is the only k'er that is half day in a school of over 250...and i am way more then fine with that. we make the most of our time together and this is it for us folks...the big bad first grade (just kidding ya know...i heart first grade!) starts next year and we have no options then...but she does stay all day for extra special days and today is one of them.

so, on tuesdays i usually scoop aubrey up then go pick up riley for lunch. today it was just riley and i. which let me tell you, was so delightful and awesome...we chatted uninterrupted, browsed through the lands end kids catalog, watched a family of deer run through the snow at our favorite park and really, really talked and i loved every minute of it....but there was no aubrey.

forgive my crazy hair

then after the long, lonely car ride home i came in to a very quiet house. no little 5 year old running around asking for playdoh or paint or popsicles.
it's just me.
and it's so darn quiet.
eerie even.

so, i'm sitting here thinking of what next year will feel like.
if i'm not subbing (or don't have a full time job...don't even get me started there...talk about WONKY!!!) this is what my afternoons will look like! eeeeekkkkkk

so this is my plan.
vacuum and mop.
listen to one of my fav songs ever a few more 100 times.
do my borrowed buddies workout dvd.
try not to faint.

then go pick up my baby.
i swear i'm gonna be first in the parent pick-up line!!
her in my lap is the only way this wonky day can be normal again!:)

have a happy,

cindy

{Weekending}

this was a soccer weekend that's for sure.
saturday we watched aubrey smile and giggle across the field.
and still manage to get a goal in.
you can tell from the gloves and the sunshine that it was a beautiful weekend...perfect soccer watching weather too!

riley had her first two soccer games of the season on sunday.
she was so adorable the night before.
giddy with excitement about her first game and practically bouncing up and down in bed.
she woke up early to organize her soccer bag and clean her cleats.
she sure does love the game!

and she's good at it too.
which makes it even more fun to watch!!:)

...this was her favorite photo of the weekend...

a little harder and a little to the left and that baby just might have gone in.

dave tells her to be a pesky little fly when she's trying to win that ball. she's pretty good at that! ha

she won that one!!

a beautiful soccer weekend.

hope yours was wonderful too,

cindy
