BooBoo does it again

Booboo excels yet again at school. Another week of 100% on homework and spelling. At the moment she is learning about the human body and the skeleton. She has a skeleton project to complete with Papa and yesterday she came home and told me that humans have tail bones like animals and 206 bones in our body........WOW I even learnt something. REALLY 206 bones in our body?
BooBoo is really excelling in academics she makes me proud!!!!!!!

My heart breaks......

Weekly Bowden Saturday soccer only this time it was a little different......

BooBoo had played her heart out all game and 4th quarter she was in goal, a normal position that she excels in and today was no different. Here she was again at her finest, Rocket powered shot right on target and my baby SAVED it!!!!!!!!

Her excitement and joy just made me so proud but WAIT what happened next left me gobsmacked.

In BooBoo's excitement she jumped up and landed her back foot behind the goal, the ball was clearly in front of the goal still SAVED, what happened next felt like slow motion, the kids still excited that BooBoo saved the goal looked in disbelief as the 2 refs looked at each other then simultaneously pointed to the center spot a goal was given!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Now to be fair I was not near the goal so didn't actually see what transpired until later but it was quite clear Papa was enraged, I think for a moment it didn't matter if it was BooBoo in goal or another kid from the team all that mattered is Papa had to fight for what he believed in and he knew it was NOT a goal.

Papa and the ref got into it with Papa shouting at the ref and the ref shouting back, the ref even threatened with a red card to Papa. BooBoo was heartbroken, her earlier excitement and joy was wiped away in a millisecond by the ref, BOO YOU REF!!!!!!

Another week end bites the dust.....

Wow cannot believe how quick this long week end past by......

No soccer games for BooBoo or Bambeano but they still had practice and today they ended up playing a pick up game with some other kids from the Harrisburg Youth teams.

This week end Papa was a busy bee getting a lot of projects done around the house, namely pressure washing the house, of course that started a flurry of conversations in the cul de sac with the prospect of the Bowdens putting their house on the market......for the record we are not putting our house on the market.......just yet!!!! It will be a sad day leaving our cul de sac family but we wont be moving out of Harrisburg.

The other big thing we did this week end was purchase our new sofa and love seat, leather recliners so I am sure Papa will fall asleep more in front of the tv. the new furniture will arrive in 6-8 weeks.
