P365 - 2015 - Day 155 - Super Hero Day

P365 - 2015 - Day 155 - Super Hero Day

Today was Super Hero Day at the kids' school.  Last night the kids decided that they wanted super hero shirts.  "Mom, can you draw a super hero emblem on my shirt?"  In my typical last minute fashion, I managed to make all three of them super heroes for the day.  The Bear had bought himself and The Boy super hero capes during his trip to Great Adventure, so we were halfway there.  Three t-shirts, some markers, and a cool package of socks later and we were in business.  I made The Princess a Supergirl shirt, The Boy a Green Lantern shirt, and The Bear The Flash.   Not too shabby for free hand with sharpies on a tshirt.  All of my Halloween training has paid off.  My husband came home, took one look at the shirts and said - "Wow you are talented."  The Bear said " I see where I got my creativeness from." and all three thanked me for making them.   That is all high praise and all the thanks I need for doing what I do.  There are times that I wish that my "talents" were able to earn me an income... times that I worry that I am not "contributing"...times that I question whether or not anyone cares or appreciates it.  Then there are times like this when three superhero shirts made me feel like one.  xo

P365 - 2015 - Day 154 - I was the first...

I was using Shoprite from Home this year while our neighborhood Acme was under construction.  While the new Acme is very cool...big and clean and more selection... the prices are still slightly better at Shoprite and frankly I really like doing my shopping online and just picking it all up.  You just can't beat that!  When I heard that our closer Shoperite now had the shop at home option, even better so this week I made my online order.  As it turned out, I was the first order at the this new ShopRite from home location and as a gift I received these flowers and this $100 gift certificate!!  So cool!!  I rarely, if ever, win things so I was pretty excited!!  Thanks ShopRite from Home!

P365 - 2015 - Day 153 - rainy night off from soccer

It was a rainy day and as soon as we got the word that The Bear's game and The Princess and The Boy's practices were cancelled, we both had the same thought.  I was on my way back from my hair appointment when My Wonderful Husband texted me simply.. "Chegg?"  My response was "Yup".  What better way to spend a rainy night off from soccer than with dinner at the Chegg?

P365 - 2015 - Day 151 -Sunburst Soccer Tournament

P365 - 2015 - Day 151 - Sunburst Soccer Tournament

The Princess and her team, The SSC Lady Gunners won their first game of the day and made it to the final round of the Sunburst Soccer Tournament.  The second game was tied when they had to stop the play for thunder and lightening in the area.  When they resumed the game, they went to a penalty shoot out to decide the game.  Unfortunately, they lost in the shoot out and came in second, but I am super proud of how well the team played this weekend and super proud of The Princess for making a perfect penalty shot.
