Updates from the homefront


Has anyone watched DWTS the past two nights??? I couldn't believe Kellie Osborn! WOW! She did great!! I was so dissappointed in Michael Irvin. I guess I was expecting Emmitt. But it's just the beginning of the season so maybe he'll get with it. So C'mon all you Cowboy Fans out there!!

Anyway, Amanda has begun soccer. It's been years since she's played and she's on an U14 team. She's the smallest on the team with the least experience. Last Saturday was the first of 9 games to be played. Bless her heart, she was completely unprepared for the postitions she had to play. Needless to say, Daddy started coaching from the sidelines and brother sat on the bench with her explaining all of the postitions to her.

It was a very stressful situation! LOL!!! Just as long as she has fun and learns the game, we'll be alright.

Ok, let me preface this with: I don't like vegetables. I never have. If it's green, it's probably not going to pass these lips!! I actually held broccoli for the first time on Sunday. I mean actually picked up the little tree type plant and washed it. The reason for the green little trees was a baby shower food tray. You know, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower along with the ranch dressing!! I just wanted people to know that I did indeed brought the rest home and steamed them. The carrots and cauliflower were delicious!!!

This year in Co Op we are going thru Apologia Botany. This week we are reading about flowers. Luckily, we had some hibicus blooming and were able to dissect one. Going thru step by step and seeing each part of the flower was amazing!! Somehow I don't remember this type of stuff from school. I know I've learned so much from the Apologia books, I just hope Amanda remembers it all!!!
