So we have been here a little over a month. I have the boys registered in Pop Warner Football, with the Mission Vipers....first Rattlers now Vipers you would think I like snakes and if so you would be very wrong. We have started practices and Dale is playing up on a competitive team, since he is one of the fastest of all the boys, and has experience. Reid is running back and QB ,one of the fastest if not the fastest on his team. I was asked to be the team mom...and agreed and it is actually a big job, before anyone talks to a coach they have to talk to the team mom, any weight issues...team mom, snacks, team mom, practice water, team mom, roll, team mom, dicipline of team kids...team mom...so big job apparently, but I have met several moms and at least have someone to talk to durring practices. Funny Dale asked after practice "dad what does whetto mean? Dale it means white guy. "oh thats why coach was callin me that, and Blake said thats us dude come on." There are a total of 3 white kids on the team... Reid, Dale and another kid on Dales team. Macy also is involved in gymnastics 2 times a week and so far is loving it....only bad part is that her gymnastics is the same nights as football so we leave the house at 4:40 and do not return until 8:15...which now is not too bad but once school starts could be tough since the kids do not get out until 3:15 and that leaves little time for homework and downtime.
Bevo is loosing teeth left and right and the kids found one and wanted to put it under his pillow to see if the tooth fairy does animals....she was tired and forgot but Bevo did not seem to care at all.
Kiddos are all registered for school and we meet teachers next week....hard to believe it is that time again. Macy is reaping benefits since they do not want sleve-less or tanks and most of her dresses are sleveless so I have bought lost of new clothes for her and shoes since all hers were sandals with open toes which are a no no and I agree with all the ants around here....so biggest issue is NOT wearing it now...waiting is hard!
The house is a home and all rooms are unpacked but one....work room but it has all the garage sale stuff in it so that should go away soon. My pool is looking good as well, we bought some palms and other plants that look pretty and my gardinas are blooming and smell amazing....so for the most part life is good here.
I do have to admit that I am a failure at sushi making...the kids are sushi hounds and that stuff is expensive so we decided to try it at home and not so much...kids said there was no flavor and have to agree the sticky rice was bland so if anyone has tips I am open.
This is sorta a rambly post as I have typed it I have "called" several wii fights, and pc fights....ahhh thats the only bad deal about living on the sun... its hot out and hard to stay out for any length of time and since they have 2 hours tonight I feel bad tossing them out now and wearing them out.... other side note...this move has made Dale and Reid so close...best buds most of the time.... which kinda warms my heart....
