Intercity soccer

First game of intercity was tonight.  BHS played Central Catholic.  It ended up 2-2.  Next game is Wednesday against West.  Thursday against U-high.  Saturday against Normal Comm.  Should be a tough week of games.  We'll keep you posted.....

Season Opener :(

Well I had my first soccer game of the season today. We lost 2-0 to LISC (little illini soccer club).
They're a team from Champaign. we didn't play very well at all, LISC isn't a very good team though we should of won that game. They had this really tall kid on there team he was probably 5,6" our defense wasn't very good tonight, we also didn't shoot very much. Well that's all for now "tciao" that's bye in porteguese.

No Wins

Two games, two losses.  BHS lost and Fusion (Adam) lost. :( 
Now, back to school tomorrow.  Busy week ahead - intercity, practices, meetings, scheduling referees, open house at Pepper Ridge, etc......

Another week down

First full week of school is done.  The kids have adjusted fine to the new schedule.  Getting up in the morning hasn't been too tough.  I think they like it.  Emily comes home talking about school everyday.  Adam doesn't say a whole lot, but what he does say is positive.  Homework hasn't really kicked in yet for him.  Don't know if it will or not?  Emily has a packet to work on all week, nothing too hard. 

We have soccer this weekend.  BHS on Saturday and Fusion (Adam's team) on Sunday.  I'm afriad that its going to be this way for the entire fall season.  Oh well, we'd be bored otherwise!

too easy

school is too easy! i have 5 spellingwords!!!!!!!! I wonder if Grandma will be able to write me a story with my 5 spelling words? she told me she'd do that. They are next, last, best, went, hand.
Check out my fish at the bottom of the page. I like the white one. Make sure you feed them!!!!

Parkside Potluck

today my academic team at school had a potluck. We had pizza,spaghetti,pasta, and a ton of sugary deserts. I had a lot of desserts my favorite was a chocalate chip brownie drenched in chocolate sauce, well that's all for now "auf wiedersehen" That's german for goodbye.

Birthday

My birthday was good. I didnt' work too much and went out to dinner at Famous Daves with the family. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and presents!

hat day!!!!

See my new hat? I got it in Chicago. My hair is wet because school pictures are tomorrow and I want to look nice. I'm going to where a blue and black striped shirt with sparklies on it, black leggins with zippers on the side and a blue skirt.

I got SUNBURNED!!!!!!

Ouch!! Today i got burned really bad. My face is super red. I got burned today when I was playing soccer in Barrington up near Chicago. Got some new shoes... ate at the cheesecake factory, boy cheesecake is good. But it aint near as good as bar-b-Q, just ask Alex. "Adios, buenos noches" that's espanol for those who don't know.

Weekend Plans

We're heading to the Chicago Area Saturday. Adam has a soccer training thing in Barrington on Sunday, so we decided to make a weekend of it. We'll do some shopping, eating out, swimming at the hotel. Weather should be nice, but cooler. I'm afraid fall is on it's way.

The First 1/2 day went well

Adam's survived his first bus ride to school. All he said was that the bus was loud and crowded. We think it takes about a 1/2 hour for the bus to get to school. He found his locker ok, but said he had to look up his locker combo (I wrote it in his backpack because I knew that would happen).

Emily had a good day too. She came home telling me all about what they did today. She has already made plans to walk to school tomorrow with a friend from class.

First Day of School

Adam & Emily started school today. Adam is going to Parkside Jr. High this year - 6th grade. First time for him on a bus to school.
Emily is going to Pepper Ridge Elem. - 3rd grade. She (we) get to walk to school.
I think both kids are ready for school and so am I! :)
