The beach is calling me

by teresa

Our church is letting us use the adjacent field for our select soccer practices.
The field we will be playing games on is not available for another six weeks and it is also about a 25 minute drive from any of the players houses. So our centrally located church was the perfect place to get together. The coaches have been very excited about it. Measuring it out, marking, painting on side lines, mowing it to a perfect playing surface. They even tried to mark the field with a Monarch head (we are the Monarchs). The coaches wife laughed and told me it looked more like an African mask when he was done. I think they are more into it than the kids.

We had some company come over last night and join us for Million Dollar Password family time. Kim and Scott came over to bring me some pictures (I am creating a slide show for their wedding reception) and for some pool fun. Fun being the guys in the pool splashing and yelling and the girls on the side joking how silly they were being. Once the storm rolled in we came in and enjoyed the show. Although, this week the celebrities weren't that good at it. After the first game, the contestant lost, had no money and rolled her eyes at the celebrity (some guy from the Sopranos). She looked so mad. He kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She was like, "Well give me $10,000 then!"

This is day one of Chris' week long vacation. He was wide awake at the crack of dawn. We all slept till 9:30. He needs to be a little more lazy to get the full benefit of his week off. After some errands I hope to go to the beach today. After last nights storm it is just a tiny bit cooler outside.

The kids (Scott included) really did have fun in the pool. Too bad boys have to grow up. Oh, that's right, they actually don't.
