Invasion of the weirdos

Micah:  Mom, there are basically three types of kids that go to my school.  Nice ones, mean ones, and weirdos...and I'd say about 90% are wierdos.





I wonder which category he considers himself a part of.

Goooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

Tonight Ash had a soccer game.

Now, if you've seen his team this year (which you haven't) they are awful, um... I mean awfully inexperienced.

Let me paint you a picture...

One of them lays on the middle of the field, one cries if anyone touches her and runs off the field, another one tackles all his teammates, and one of them kicks the ball out every time the ball is anywhere near him(there are only 8 on the team). The first time I saw the team I felt so bad for Dudi (he's the coach). I kept thinking of all those underdog sports movies. You know where they have this pathetic little team that they whip into shape and they end up winning the championship game...that's kinda like this team, but we are just hoping to win one game.

So far we have had 3 games. The scores were something like 6-0, 8-0, and *gasp* 9-1!

Yes it is true, we scored our first goal today! And guess who scored it...

My cute little soccer guy!

He did a great breakaway and I grabbed my camera just in time! It was awesome and he was so excited! It was like we won the game (only we lost by 8), but hey, we take what we can get.

I was so proud of him. He's done so good this year!

Go Asher!

Wooo Hooo!

Barbie drama

Liv's latest love is the Barbie movies. So when we were at Target and saw the Barbie and the Mermaid Tale Barbie, she was really excited. Of course she asked if we could get it and when I told her that we wouldn't be getting it, she sat down on the floor with her head in her hands and stated, "Mom, you ruined my life!"

I've got a long road ahead of me.

Keepin' it real

Progress Reports went home today. 

This is what they looked like. 

This was Asher's.

 Everything had Satisfactory marks, except "listen's carefully." Now, I never had an "N" come home on any of my report cards/progress reports, or any of Micah's, so this was a little bit of a shock. Not because I thought he was being perfect at school (I'm sure he is though), but because he's never come home with a "smile covered" or any kind of behavior note.

So I asked Asher about it. 

In true Asher fashion he replied that his table "kinda talked a lot" but that his teacher didn't have to get on to them today or yesterday (he was really enthusiastic about it)! 

Awesome.

 Is it bad for me to have the attitude of "whatever?!"

I'm actually just glad he's making friends! 

(I did tell him he needed to make sure and listen to his teacher though)

That wasn't the only "N" that came home though... 

Yes, and I find this amusing also.

 I mean, it's not like I tell Micah everytime I do homework with him that he needs to write slower and neater. To which my loving husband replies, "he's a boy."

And his teacher is a girl. 

Point made.

Kitchen help

This little girl has spunk.

She pulled a chair up to the stove so she could help me cook.

After a minute she hopped down and ran into the other room. I moved her chair over a tiny bit so I could get a pot. A few minutes later, here comes Liv. She stops, puts her hand on her hip and says, "What did I tell you?! Don't move my chair, Mom!"
