Welcome to our Adventures...: Opening Day Ceremonies for AYSO Soccer! (and our busy schedule begins...)

I meant to post this sooner, but was VERY busy last week. Last weekend (9/10-11) was the kids opening day for soccer. Ashlyn is on the Fairy Princesses team, and Jacob is on the Green Dragons. They both played very well. I'm proud of both my soccer players and their teams. Saturday morning was a full morning of soccer. They do a big opening day ceremony at 8am, then the games begin shortly after. Unfortunately, Jacob and Ashlyn played at the same time that first week. At least we were both there, so we divided up and got it done.

Sunday, Ashlyn was invited to a birthday party for one of the girls on her soccer team. The whole family went. I told Mike we were only going to stay for about an hour, because I had sooooo much to do. BUT, the kids had such and great time (and so did Mike and I), we were there for over 3 1/2 hours!! It was a fun party with lots of activities!! This same family puts on a big Halloween party, so we are excited to attend that one, too!!

The rest of the week, I was busy getting all the stuff tagged for the consignment sale that was THIS weekend. I enjoy participating in the sales, and it helps out making money back on the stuff I buy for the kids (clothes they outgrow or toys they are done with). It is a lot of work, but it's fun to go through everything. And hopefully this will help get things organzied.

Ashlyn started ballet and gymnastics last week, so that's keeping her busy. And Jacob is getting into cub scouts again. I'm currently looking for a martial arts program for him, because I (and he) would really like to get back into that.
