Spring Soccer Bowden style

Enjoying the 1st week end of soccer for Boo Boo and Bambeano

Another week over......

Well that was a busy week for the Bowden household but another great week for Boo Boo and Bambeano.

Boo Boo did great on her spelling at school and enjoyed a soccer camp Friday night with the Hickory Ridge girl's team. She won a t-shirt for best controller of the ball and listening skills. WAY TO GO BOO BOO.

Bambeano had a great week at daycare and is doing great with his writing. Got the great news that Bambeano was accepted to the private TK program at Back Creek Christian Academy. Bambeano has a late birthday (4 days before the cut off) and while he is good at academics we feel it is the best choice for him. GREAT JOB BAMBEANO

Is the week end over already.......

What a great week end. The weather was great and we spent a great time outdoors this week end.

Soccer has finally begun in the Bowden household. Papa Bowden is coaching 3 teams this year, pee wee 3-5, 5-6 team (Bambeano) and 7-8 (Boo Boo). Thankfully this week end it was just a soccer clinic. Papa and the kids left for the park while I had a few errands to run including Mother's Day mail.

I still cannot get used to Mother's day in Englandbeing in March and here (USA) in May. As silly as it may sound I buy my cards in May (Gotta have the mother's day wording) and save them till the following March. Trust me with old age and 2 kids it takes me a month of Sundays to remember where the heck I have placed the cards for "safe keeping", yep so safe I cannot even remember 10 months later.

So Marley got a little adventure to the park as well to enjoy the outdoors. He did great except for the few times he spotted another dog or ball and yanked me from my chair (I was too busy gossiping with some other mothers at the time), thankfully my wrist is still fulling intact.

Mummy and Papa enjoyed a belated anniversary date night and ventured to a new local Indian restaurant that had opened up. Let's just say I have found a new favourite place to eat it was yummy yummy. Happy 10th anniversary Papa

On to Sunday, we just chilled in the cul de sac until Mummy and Papa had their turn at soccer. Great time and the kids had some great friends to play with that kept them occupied. Papa Bowden had some great goals, a hat trick in fact, including a header and penalty, WAY TO GO PAPA. Unfortunately their was a price to pay for the hat trick, Papa is now in a lot of pain after hurting his back :(

After soccer we came back and chilled outside with the neighbors. We were even able to offload some toys of Boo Boo's that she had outgrown. One of the neighbors daughters eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw the stroller, baby swing, baby dolls and all the other baby items. What a great feeling to see such a young innocent face light up :)

On to another week........

Kids say darnest things......

One of the things Boo Boo and Bambeano love to do is DANCE!!!!! As you can see from the pictures above. Now you have to understand they are not into your normal kids music but hip hop with the current trend being the Black Eyed Peas......

Conversation with Boo Boo after taking pictures and posting.....

Boo Boo - Wow that is even the spelling of peas I guess they like peas.....
Mummy - Roaring with laughter but getting out "why do you say that..... "
Boo Boo - Well I guess they get their name as most of them are black or they have nice eyes or like peas, I'm just not sure.....
Mummy - laughing so hard ......
Boo Boo joining in and says Mummy you make me laugh.....

Mummy thinking...... no sweetie you make my day
