Got a little sniffly today. It was the last game for Alyce this season which means it was my last game coaching until fall. This season I had all new girls (except for my daughter), so there is always a chance my girls won’t play next season or will get moved around to new teams. I really hope I get this same group next season. Such a fun go get ‘em giggly group of girls.

Hence the sniffles.

I’ll miss them if they get rearranged on me.

I’ll always have Leecy on my team.

We did our drills and then had our game.

I think my girls were frustrated.

“They are too fast and have big kicks!”

That’s just how the ball bounces – or rolls – sometimes baby.

After the game, I did my own little medal ceremony (the club gives medals to the little ones at the end of each season). Then treats!

We thought we’d bring something cool so no matter how the game went they would leave with smiles.

A cooler full of ice cream sandwiches and popcycles.

They left with smiles.

So did I.

Yesterday we all were invited to go to the park and play with them for the last day. nano and I decided to walk from the school to the park with them. So glad I grabbed our wagon! I don’t know how the teachers walked those kids down all the time in an orderly line. Not the shortest walk and they all were so good!

We had so much fun! On the way back, Alyce decided she needed to ride in the wagon with Nano. Got my workout in for the day.

We got in the car and I heard, do I go to kindergarten tomorrow mom?

Enjoy your summer baby!

Too good to be true, right? I searched it. People have gotten their welcome gift

Bamboo is a symbol of longevity and life, and has long been valued for bringing good luck. Instead of planting some in your home, wear it on your finger and bring your luck everywhere. These rustic bamboo rings are a fun look for summer. You can pump up their sultry, bohemian feel with a casual side braid and a floral summer dress. Or keep your look toned down for work, and still wear a lucky charm that makes you smile.

So how do you get it? Head on over to Sneak Peeq.
This is where I had to Google it because after signing up I couldn’t figure out where the free ring was at.

Now, you can choose to pay $1 for shipping and handling, or share the offer via messaging on Facebook with other friends and get free shipping making it…………

Completely free!

I paid the $1 just because I wasn’t sure if the friends they had chosen for me would appreciate the message. In the first offer where you share with 3, my mom, my aunt, and my cousin. Those were three people I knew wouldn’t unfriendly me if they weren’t interested.

Go on over to Sneak Peeq and grab your free ring!

Carter is my nephew and Christiano’s best friend.

He’ll tell you that all the time.

Carter is my best friend.

They are 2 years apart.

Every night when we pray before bed (or before dinner or insert any other time you might pray) I ask the kids if they have anything they want to add.

And thank you for Carter, Nano always says.

Anyone else?

No. Carter.

Grandma, grandpa?

No, Carter.

Mommy and daddy?

No, just Carter.

Uncle Josh, Aunt Shelley? (I mean, it is thanks to them that he has his best friend Carter.)

No. CARTER!

Ok, and thank you, God for Carter.

Then I add in everyone else, just to be fair.

We all know where we rank with Nano now.

At church today, instead of a normal service, the men made us brunch and served all of the moms. It was so neat. We have been blessed with a wonderful group of guys in our church including my dad and brother, who served me since my husband had to work.

My son, my niece, and the other teens took care of all of the children and did a great job of it.

I’ll admit it, I cried. As mom’s we lose ourselves in our kids and we really need to make time for ourselves both with God and just away from our kids in general.

Now I am just waiting for it to be time for Jordan’s soccer game, then off to my parents’ for a cook out.

I’ll leave you with Jordan’s art project/my mother’s day present.

Yes, that is a sun licking up to catch a falling booger. He was upset because he didn’t get to glaze it.

Really? That’s the part you were worried about?

Definitely a 13 year old boy.

Who says he’s got skillz.

I know you’re jealous cuz you didn’t get a booger licking sun.

I’m not sharing it cuz my son made it just for me!

Have a beautiful Mother’s Day!
