September Activities

September has arrived and the kids are getting into the swing of things. All three kids are playing soccer. Bubba's practices are Monday/Wednesday evenings and his games are either Tuesday or Thursdays at 5:30 or 7pm. Tubbs' practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7pm. His games are on Saturdays. Thanksfully Miss Wiggy's team practices on Saturdays for 30 minutes before they play. All the kids are loving soccer and aside from the busy schedules, we enjoy watching them play. Bubba's team hasn't won a game yet, but Bubba is doing good for his first year. Tubbs' team is doing really well and has only lost two games so far out of six. Wiggy's team doesn't keep score, but they dominate every opponent. They only play five on five and it's very entertaining to watch. Wiggy is getting more agressive and no one can get the ball past Wiggs when she comes up to try and stop the ball.

 

Bubba got his braces off. It's been a LONG three years and we are thrilled to have them off. I may be more excited than him.

 Krispy Kreme Donuts opened IN Bakersfield the day before he got his braces off. So on our way back from the orthodontist, we stopped by and picked up a dozen HOT donuts. The kids were big fans!!

 Tubbs's friends invited him to a USC football game one Saturday night. Tubbs was so excited to watch a college football game. They left around 3pm and didn't get home until almost 2am Sunday morning.

 Wiggy picked up her birthday masterpiece from Color Me Mine.

We believe Tubbs has an OCD with cleaning. 
Legitimately. 
I need a clean house. It's a necessity. I think I may have passed this on to poor Tubbs. We thought it was funny at first, but this boy really does need to sweep and mop almost everyday. He asks us if he can vacuum or sweep and if we say no, he pretty much melts down. I bought some cleaning supplies from Norwex, which included this dry/wet mop....so this boy was loving it. We are fans of Norwex.

Tubbs is doing a Derek Carr football camp that lasts 7 weeks. The camp has practices on Tuesday evenings and scrimmages on Saturday afternoons. He is also playing on the school flag football team. They have 1-2 games a week after school and they practice before school most mornings. Bubba is refereeing the flag football games at Warren on Mondays (and sometimes Thursdays) after school.

 I had three moles removed and sent in for biopsy the first week of July. Two of the moles came back abnormal, so I needed to have them cut out. This photo was two weeks after the procedure, when I had the stitches removed. Now I need to go back twice a year to have moles checked.
 

We ordered a new sofa sectional on Memorial weekend. It finally arrived the last week of September!! We are so excited. In July we started selling or donating other pieces of living room furniture. We were down to just the leather sofa for two months. The new couch arrived just in time because we were ready to freak out on Ashley Furniture.

 Everyone likes laying on the chaise part of the sofa and napping.
