This weekend marked my last weekend off until 2015. I have one Sunday off between now and New Years. Please God help me. I do not think that I can deal. Of course my life wouldn't be my life without some chaos and craziness. Saturday was my crazy.
This Saturday was the beginning of a cold front that has swept over our area. And when I mean cold, I mean blistering, windy as shit cold. It's stupid. I despise winter. Saturday morning Jaiden had his first game in his football playoffs. We were like 3-6 the entire season, so I wasn't quite sure that we were going to make it past the 1st game. Well of course in 30 degree weather, they end up tying the game, go into overtime, where we won with a safety! Woop Woop! The second game, John Henry stayed home with Daddy where it was much warmer. That second game was against a team that went undefeated the entire season. We scored the first touchdown, but then proceeded to get stomped on during the 2nd half. But the boys did a great job! They did not get discouraged and kept going, despite the fact that we they were getting beat.
This was Jaiden's very first flag football season, and I would bet that it was probably his favorite sports season yet. He is already talking about spring Flag football, and then TACKLE football in the fall. Please help me. I don't think that I am ready for Jaiden to play tackle football.
After the game we had our end of season party at Sweet Frog! Jaidens favorite! I think Jaiden was more sad about the season being over because he made a lot of friends this season. So I see some play dates in the near future.
When we got home, the task for the day was cleaning house! We live right in front of about a thousand trees, so our backyard lately has been a haven for fallen leaves. It's so bad Berkley won't even use the grass, she goes on the patio. Which is a whole other
On Sunday it was still freezing. I did a photo session early that morning and by the time I was done, my fingers were absolutely numb! I don't even know how I was able to take pictures for nearly 2 hours! I came home after picking Jaiden up from my mom, and we started making something to warm the soul. Homemade chicken noodle soup..The noodles were even homemade, and my god was it the most delicious thing I have ever tasted! Well one of them at least. Jaiden had fun helping me make the noodles, which next time will be done a lot more in advance. The process didn't appear to take as long as it did in reality, but it was a fun, white, powdery mess by the end!
It's funny cause making the soup made me think of one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Well actually I was a huge fan of the 'Chicken soup for the Soul' books, but there was one more that I was in love with when I was about Jaiden's age. This was one of my faves and I'm so glad that I snagged it from my dad's house a few weeks back! It was the perfect opportunity and made for a festive, themed evening! And I love a good theme!
So I would just like to point out, that my life is not a week behind. Seeing as my posting this particular blog entry about my weekend, well today is actually the next weekend. So just a disclaimer..My life is not behind, my mind is. Plain and simple. And writing one entry, editing, and adding photos and such apparently is a week long process. I'll get better. I promise!
