Soccer first, since that' s been the most recent theme...
First let me say that it was FREEZING on those soccer fields! The wind was blowing consistently at about 30 mph and it was in the 50's on Saturday and in the 30's on Sunday...though it warmed up to the 40's while we were there.
Elisabeth's game was first. They played a team they'd lost to twice in regular season, who also scored 10 points on them in those games. The team did an AWESOME job! The game ended at regulation with a 0-0 tie. They went into a shootout, and ended up having to go to extra kicks after that. They ended up losing 2-1, but it was nothing to be ashamed of! It was such a stressful game to watch! I couldn't leave to see Nick's game until it was over because it was so nervewracking.
Nick's game was good too. At the half, they were losing 1-0. But they came back and won the game 2-1 and are going to the championship game this weekend!!! The coach said he'd put Nick in 4 different positions in two days and he played well wherever he was placed. I'm so glad it's going to be pushing 80 this weekend, no more freezing our tushes off at the soccer fields....this season!
Love...
Valentine's Day was nice. It could've been better had I not gotten a migraine, and hadn't ruined supper because of it. Jerry got me some pretty roses and we rented Elizabethtown....which we didn't get to watch because of my lovely headache. Sorry I ruined the evening hon!!! I love you! (He was really sweet about it all though!)
And Allergies...
Nick went in for his 2nd round of allergy tests. He's allergic to tons of pollens, molds, dust mites, and pets. He's got "sensitivities" to 15 foods (peas, tomatoes, oatmeal, salmon, oranges, peaches, pecans, pineapple, crab, shrimp, lemons, grapefruit, cantaloupe, watermelon, and green peppers) ...so we have to cut out all of the above from his diet for two months and then add them back one at a time. We've decided tomatoes will be the first to return and try because he can't have BBQ, pizza, ketchup, spaghetti, etc! Next will be oatmeal, because he loves his "Honey Bunches of Oats"!!! Poor kid, loves seafood too! Hopefully we can get him figured out and nothing is major with the food allergies. He likes almost all of the named items! One of the pollens he's allergic to is Orange Blossoms.....coming soon to fields everywhere!!! Yeah, this will be fun. We're going to see about putting up a fenced area for the dog to get him outside too, at least we've been good about keeping him from the bedroom areas for the most part! "sigh"
Well, that's what we've been up to the past few days.....FUN! :)
