Pumpkin Patch + Soccer + PF = Tired & Can't Sleep.

So today was one of those totally crazy, busy, can't get to the potty kind of days.

McKenna & Sydney are blessed to be able to be in the same classroom this year.  It has never happened before and will probably not happen again... but let me tell you, it is a blessing.


One of the neat things for me was going on the field trip and getting to chaperone for both of my kids (if they were in separate classes I would have to choose :(  Anyway, today was our annual trip to Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch.


Can I just interject here for a moment?

This place is awesome and so wonderfully fun... if you have not taken your kids here... well if you haven't you need to load up your car and head down there!

Coolest Corn Maze Ever... this year it was the Portland Timbers... totally awesome!


from the top of one of the bridges...


partner in crime...

(last year her firefighter hubby had to come rescue my group because we got super lost)

cow ride anyone???


as you can see I am already in "mustang soccer coaching gear" ready for rain...

super tall sunflower that was ABOVE my head.


and along the path




So after returning from the above said trip... I ran with some girlfriends to Old town Coffee (for like 20min) before heading back to the school to head to Catlin Gabel School in Beaverton for an away soccer game.

I would just like to say that I always found coaching very easy to do when sitting on the other side of the field.

Our girls played their hearts out and controlled the ball in the second half.  CG scored with 10 secs to go in the game making it a 3-1 loss for us.  Somehow it doesn't seem like a loss because we are improving every game... but I over analyze would of, could of, should of... The most important thing is our girls are representing Christ through their behavior towards the other team and their own team.  I am super proud of them though.  Just feel like sometimes I let them down.

Back to the school in record time (no traffic) and then Taco Bell drive through... to pathfinders... to staff meeting.  To home at 10p.m. and so wound up I can't sleep.

So Judy this post is really for you since you texted me and said "PLEASE update so that I don't have to look at that mouse..."  Love you!

PS.  3 nights until the Duck Game!!!! Whoop!  Can't wait!
