Soccer and Camping

Well, Britt's soccer game went well. They won 6-1. Looks like a good group. Coach had her playing middle, though, which she hates, so we'll see how that plays out. Josh... well, who knows about that kid. He was so excited to play... and then he got there and refused to step foot on the field. He's claiming that he's all ready now and will be playing this Saturday, so we'll see how that goes.

Camping was fun. We went up in the afternoon and made dinner in the dutch oven, played around, sat by the campfire, and just enjoyed being outdoors. It was butt freezing COLD at night, though. Holy cow. We're planning to go again this weekend, and I am bringing my long johns and my parka. So glad the heater in the trailer works.

Well, that's about all I have to report. School is... going. Everyone is surviving. This is really going to be a hard year for all of us, I think. Both girls have a heavy load, and I have a heavy load as well. Lexi was all bundled up and snoozing this morning on the way to school, and Courtney and I were both like... Man, I wish I was all comfy like that... going to go play with toys all day... and getting to take NAPS on mats! Forget the toys; we both just wanted the nap.

Camping sounds like fun! We need to get a tent so we can go. But we really don't have anywhere to store a tent right now.

That stinks that it is going to be a rough year. You'll just have to plan really fun things for the weekend so it makes it all worth it. :)

I honestly have no idea as to why you fight naps so much as a child. I'd give anything for a 20 minute nap right after lunch.

Sounds like things are going good..busy but good. Glad to hear it.

Also if you decide to camp when it's cold, the only acceptable way to go is with something that provides heat completely through the night (ie. trailer, motor home, etc. that's my kind of camping)

I so want a nap, too, especially thinking about your schedule this year. It's hard to be a mom and work as hard as you always have. I respect you so much for that. Go, SHANNON!!!
