Speed Street.... Race week NC

So this week and last is crazy traffic time in Charlotte as we have back to back races at the track 1.5 miles from our house. Today no soccer as it is Memorial week end so we took the kids down to Speed street.

The event is about 4 blocks of stalls and vendors with freebies and as Papa would call it "Crapola" but the kids love it. So we visited Chex Mix, M&M's, ice cream, cheerios, lunchables, Food Lion and many more....... we came away with M&M candy, chex Mix, cereal, shampoo and conditioner samples and many more....

Enjoy the pictures..........

The next Beckham.......

As usual the Bowden clan had their weekly soccer games yesterday.

Bambeano was 1st up and was on fire. After sitting the 1st quarter on the bench he ended up as a forward for the next 2 quarters and ended up scoring a goal (the 3rd one for the team) not satisfied with one he was on a run for his 2nd but ending up hitting the post. Bambeano was on fire and is surely living up to the number 7 he wears. His team won 6-0.

BooBoo was next up she started in goal. A position she does really well in. No goals got past her. On to midfield. She does good at this position but gets easily tired especially when it is hot and humid. She had a shot on goal but it was not powerful to get past the goalie but her team won 3-0.

So even though Mummy & Papa had no games today we were drafted to help some of the other teams that were short. I ended up playing with Orange (Captain is the kids coach) against Green and Chris was on Green. Orange won 6-0.

Now to some rest today

When I grow up.....

Yesterday was a crazy day in the Bowden household. The rain was pouring and Papa was late at work.

I had the urge to cook and anyone who knows me knows I do not cook if I can help it. I hate cooking, funny considering I graduated college from learning hotel & catering and business studies. Of course my choice of college courses was not my choice or real love..... no I really wanted to join the police force and specialize in a field but my knee injury put a stop to that :(

Last night BooBoo and Bambeano were happy watching Bambeano's graduation DVD from a few weeks ago while I signed off on BooBoo's homework and read her teacher's notes. I was pleasantly surprised to find her 4th quarter report card. Upon reading I was overwhelmed with pride to read that she is really excelling at school and listening and learning. She is well on her way to having her dream career working with animals.

Onto Bambeano...... I asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up, half expecting soccer player or fireman, but oh no he tells me he wants to help people. I asked what did he mean by that and he said

"Give shots" .
"Oh you want to be a doctor" I replied.
"Yes" he responded.
"What kind of doctor?" I asked.
"One that has a treasure box and stickers" he innocently said.

Wow my little 4 year old has already decided he wants to be a pediatrician. Now the only question I ask is it because he wants to be a doctor or because he wants a treasure box and stickers.........

Soccer Saturday

Soccer Saturday again for the Bowden Family. BooBoo and Bambeano both had games yesterday in very hot heat but did very well. BooBoo drew 4-4 and Bambeano lost 1-0. BooBoo has the Number 5 shirt and Bambeano has Number 7. Mummy & Papa had 2 games back to back and won both to go top of the league winning 4-2 and 5-3!!!!

Enjoy the pictures.........
