This weekend (5/9/14) . . . and beyond!

Nathan has a lacrosse game Saturday at 10:15 am.  It will be held at the stadium behind the middle school.  Should last about an hour.

Brendan is spending Saturday down at boy scout camp working on a service project.  There will be no ice skating show because we did not register Nate.

I know it is not part of the weekend, but just as a reminder, Brendan's spring choir concert is Monday evening.  Please let us know if you'll attend so we can get enough seats for everyone.  It is likely to be his last concert for a long while, perhaps forever, as he has decided not to sign up for music next year.

Brendan will be leaving early Thursday morning for a school trip and won't be back until late Saturday night.  Next weekend a certain bug is having two birthday parties :)

This weekend (5/2/14)

The usual shenanigans, plus some.

I'm camping with some friends but will be making guest appearances at various sporting events.

Brendan has a tournament in Hudson.  First game at 9:15 vs. CAK (formerly Jackson select - all his old teammates ), and one at 11:1530 vs.  Rockers FC.   Sunday he has one game at 8:00 am.  All games are at NC Soccer club 5661 Stow Rd. Hudson, OH .

Nathan has his first lacrosse game Saturday at 11:15 on the girls behind the middle school.  It should last about an hour.  No, I don't know why this is purple.  I loathe smart phones.

I think that's all.

Northern Ohio Cup Tournament

Saturday and Sunday, April 12 & 13, 2014 - Northern Ohio Cup Soccer Tournament - Lodi, Ohio (Brendan).


I added it to the list of upcoming events below, but I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.  It'll be snowing.  Or freezing rain.  Or maybe both.  This is not the most fun tournament we play every year, but it's mandatory.  Well, for Brendan it is.  The rest of you can stay at home with hot chocolate if you so choose :)

Top O' the Box!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has sent Nathan box tops for his school!  So far he's turned in 130 of them, which is apparently enough to get him into the "Box Top Club."  Sounds very swanky.





They're still collecting them through the end of the year, so keep an eye out for them :)

I set dinner on fire again

the other night.  Pasta, again.  I honestly don't know how it happened.  I put the pasta in the boiling water.  While I was waiting for the part in the pot to soften up enough to smush the rest of the noodles in, the noodles hanging over the edge of the pot caught fire and started shooting flames up about 1-2 feet into the air.

I'm going to start carrying some noodles in my pocket when we go on hiking trips.  That crap is way more flammable than I ever thought possible!

In other news, how long until we can get some decent fresh fruit again?  I've been craving non-sawdust watermelon now for weeks.  It's going to be a looooooooong winter.
