Soccer and Ryleigh's Party

Ryleigh's 2 year picture


Dane is playing soccer in the Grosse Pointe Soccer Association.  He is on the Cowboys' team.  His coach did not show up for the first (or second game), so Alek volunteered.  "Coach Alek"  was a pro at coaching, and he was excellent with the kids!
 

  Group cheer, "Go Cowboys!"
 


 Ryleigh's birthday party.
 
 She got a lot of girly things like fake food, cooking and cleaning items and dress-up clothes.  She and Mary should have lots of fun!
 

 Mary made her a tutu and bought her butterfly wings.  Very cute!
 
 She loved it when we sang to her!
 

 Yummy!
 
 Showing off her purple tongue from the cake.
 
Even Dane liked her presents =)

Test

This is a test.  I am working on making my blog private to only certain people. Hope you can read this.   If you can, please let me know of facebook or by email.
 
As we were getting ready for school, Dane said to me, "Mom, I am ready for my first day of school, but are you really going to wear that rose bush outfit?" 
My first thought was, "Oh my gosh, I am already starting to embarrass him.  This is too soon!  Take a deep breath Holly and stay calm!" 
I replied, "Um, well, is this ok? Should I change? " 
He said, "I guess it is fine..."   
Phewwww, thank goodness!!!!!
 
Ha ha ha ha ha.  All I can do is laugh about it, right!!!!!



After we got to school, I realized he was supposed to be in his formal dress uniform for Mondays, so I had to run upstairs to the clothing room and get him a white shirt and vest.  I couldn't be the staff member who doesn't follow dress code!!!!!
 

 
Dane and Ben (Mr. Clor's son) leaving our 5th grade rooms and walking to the Early School Building.


 
Best buds!


 
Dane didn't even say goodbye to me.  He told me he knew where he had to go since he had been there before, and he ran right into the classroom and plopped down.  (sniffle, sniffle)  I snuck in and gave him a kiss goodbye anyway.

 
Their pet fish is in the middle.  I still don't know what the name is.  Dane told me they got to choose it, but he told me Goldilocks, Mary, Karen, and Goldie.  Must be one of the four names.

One Second Everyday

Instead of blogging, I have been working on a new project.  Here is a sneak peek.
