Lou got placed on the red team this fall in U-7 soccer. Tim was the coach.

“Bologna” got chosen as the team name. Yes, really. We had a mystery meat as our mascot.

Tim got to sing “My Bologna” to the tune of “My Sharona“.

And I got these pictures of Lou’s flying hair, high socks, and soccer moves.

The Void in Lindy’s Mouth

About two weeks ago, our lovely dentist told Miss Lindy that her bottom front teeth were loose.  We were certain that he had done so just to give her hope.  You see, many of Lindy’s classmates have lost several teeth… she’s just slow in that regard.

So, we’ve spent the last few weeks hearing about her loose teeth.  To the point of, well, mild annoyance.  And then yesterday, Lindy showed me that she had a legitimately loose tooth.  And we pulled it out.  That’s right, we didn’t have the days of hanging tooth.  Instead, that tooth came out and this little girl simply can’t stop talking about it.  Truthfully, she’s crossed the line from slightly annoying to adorable just by being so absorbed by the void in her mouth.

Our chicks (the 3 human ones and the 26 poultry ones) before heading out to catch the bus. A few things to note:

  • the colors of the shirts: yellow=Kindergarten, blue=3nd grade, tie-dye=5th grade
  • the hair of the Oak: Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love video
  • the names of the chicks: soccer players from the US Women’s National Team (Lou’s kissing A-Rod, Oakley’s holding Sauerbrunn, and Aspen’s cradling Morgan)

And so ends an awesome weekend here, without a moment in a car.  That’s right, we took the long weekend and went nowhere.  And it was good.

Yes, I ate a pile of home grown peas.
