Last weekend, Matthew's soccer team won their first game! YAY! Actually, it was the first time they even SCORED...poor kids! Us parents were SOOOO excited to see that finally happen for them. Afterwards, Matthew wanted to know if they could play the "blue shirt team" again next time! :) Now our next hope is that Matthew can score a goal in a game.....fingers crossed! we took him to pizza hut (his favorite) for lunch to celebrate.....go Choppers!
After church, the entire congregation ended up down the street at KFC for lunch....and we still wouldnt' tell the kids where we were going. Alaina, in her astuteness, proclaimed as we were leaving KFC that we were NOT going on any kind of vacation because there was no luggage in the back, only Zach's stroller (do we travel too much ya think?)....so she told Matthew that we were probably doing something just for the afternoon, and "definitely outside 'cuz it's nice out".....she's a pretty smart cookie sometimes. Matthew's a lot easier to fool, and of course Zach couldn't have cared less....as long as he gets fed and has a dry diaper once in awhile, he's cool.
So off we went to the zoo! I love our zoo. It's FREE! Can't beat that. The weather on Sunday was perfect for it too. And since I've been there umpteen times, I told Karl where to park where you don't have to pay (trying to make this a cheap afternoon, can ya tell?)......and the kids still didn't know where we were until we got to the entrance, and then they knew and were very excited.
So we spent a couple hours at the zoo....went to the Children's Zoo (which you have to pay to get into, but we always go to anyways because the kids love it so much) to pet the goats:

Monday we started selling Girl Scout Cookies.....always a fun time......if Tatum wasn't a brownie, I'd be badgering all my KC friends to order.........we're trying to beat what Alaina sold last year, but I don't think it's gonna happen! Blame the economy I guess!
Tuesday Matthew had another soccer game. And it rained. POURED really...the entire time. In my brilliance, I forgot lawn chairs, so we got to stand and watch.......and most of my pictures turned out blurry because I was trying to hold an umbrella over me and zach and take pictures at the same time......oh well. they lost that game...badly. Matthew was having a hard time concentrating on the game...he wanted to play in the mud instead! I was glad when that game was over! We came home and I made a big pot of chilli!
Last night we had a game night at church and had a blast.....I took the kids to Steak n Shake for dinner and ate way too much yummy stuff, including a shake of course. BAD for the diet. I'm SOOOOO not going to be ready for a swimsuit on that cruise in 2 months.. :( I'm ready for the CRUISE of course! Just not the putting-on-a-swimsuit part! :P
Tonight is our monthly church study group....so I've got to clean the house, make a snack, and read the lesson. No problem! :P And that catches you up on us.....I'll post my layouts when I get them done, which probably won't be 'till the weekend since we have NO plans and that means I'm gonna scrap as much as possible! YAY!
I do have this layout to share......from our trip out to KC....I THINK i'm almost done scrapping it....maybe another layout or 2 to go! :P

I love the CHEF layout! Glad to see that someone else goes to the zoo! We'll have to check it out sometime. Congratulations, Matthew, on the big win!
