Well the little guy had his second soccer game today, but it was the first one I saw. Last week I was luck enough to be in an adoption education class all Saturday. Anyway, his game was at 1pm today. The weather was beautiful! He played very well. He's much better as a forward than on defense. His team won, which was very nice. Then we came home & I decided to clean out the inside of my car. The kids tend to leave all the kids crap, I mean precious stuff and it becomes a pit. So I got the vacuum & a garbage bag, and off I went. 2 hours later you could actually see the carpet on the floor and see out the windows! It's so nice to have a clean car! At least the inside anyway!
Woo Hoo!!!

Adoption Education
Ok - Sorry for the mini vacation there, I'm back. I have to do 10 hours of adoption education for DCFS requirements (need a foster license for adoption only), as well as adoption education hours through AAI, and one of the tools is a set of DVD's. The DVD's are broken into 4 sets of disks, and there are 4 sets of tests to take after each 'module'. So every night I load a disc into our personal DVD player and watch. Each mod is about an hour in length. I have watched 2 disks, a total of 3 mods, and taken 3 online tests. Each one is scored & the results are sent off, somewhere... So far, I've aced all 3!! Too bad I fell asleep in the beginning of the second one & had to watch the whole darn thing all over. Note to self - Don't watch them in bed after a long day at work! Anyway, it's going fine, but I want to finish soon! I have one more mod, one more test, but 2 discs left. The last disk you are not tested on, but they talk about a lot of resources & things, so I want to see that one too. Tomorrow I have a 6 hour adoption seminar that I have to attend. That will get me through the rest of my hours. The seminar tomorrow deals more with domestic adoption, but I am sure it will be helpful. It may even help with my youngest, as he has MANY questions & thoughts about his own adoption that are popping up now that we are going through the process, so it will be interesting to hear what they say. Anyway, the young lad has his first ever soccer game tomorrow! Great timing! Anyway, the girls are going to take him for me, hopefully someone will remember to take pictures for me. I'm sad that I'm going to miss it.... Well, there's another one next weekend, and the weekend after that, and after that...

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!! Last night (4/7) I headed out to the backyard to put the recycling into the bin (yes, that probably is the most dreaded job in the house). Anyway, I look past the lovely view of the bowling alley parking lot behind our house to try & see where the loud noises I hear are coming from. Low & behold it's fireworks! Yes folks, Easter fireworks! Very Strange... They were the big kind, not like the kind your neighbor does at the 4th of July. This was the picnic in the park kind, big booms & all. So I yelled for the kids to come & see. The oldest 2 couldn't care less, but the little guy& I stood outside to watch. We huddled by the dryer vent for warmth (it was only 20 degrees out ya know) while watching a beautiful display. Here's some pix. Not the best, but it was cold & I was shivering...
I wonder what we will do to celebrate Easter 2008?
