Fall Soccer

Hi friends!

Holy cow! It's been a really long time since last I blogged. Sorry, we've been crazy busy since school started. I keep thinking I'll get to the blogging but before I know it the day is gone and it's the last thing I want to do at night. So in 3 minutes or less, here is a quick update of our lives:

Dan & Adry: Both super exhausted but happy to be busy.

Eric: Third grader starting fall soccer this weekend into playing Zelda and reading Magic Tree House & Captain Unperpants series. He has his first Cub Scout meeting next week! Almost a man!

Peter: First grader starting fall soccer this weekend, into any computer game, laughs outloud when reading Junie B. Jones. Played the donkey in latest production of Brementown Musicians! Sweetest donkey I ever saw!

Ben: In Kindergarten, taking a break from soccer, loves to write! Example of Ben's mad writing skills: I see a L-F-N-T. (elephant) adorable, right? I love it.

Sam: Basically velcroed to my hip. Literally obsessed with Handy Manny & Super Why. Jabber jaw talks constantly but since he can't pronounce the "s" sound he replaces it with "h" sound. Super cute when you ask him to say his name, Sam Brogger. Sounds like Ham Burger!

There! We are all fine and dandy, just kind of busy but I will try to post something new at least every 2 weeks.

FREE RICE!

Awesome site I just learned about: it's called freerice.com. It tests your vocabulary and donates rice. For every word you test yourself on, the site donates 20 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Program. This is so fun and a great way to help fight hunger without leaving home! They even show you how many grains of rice you've donated in a rice bowl graphic next to the words.

I checked it out on Snopes.com and it's true; the advertisers at the bottom of each page are the ones who pay for the rice.

I just donated 620 grains of rice! The word that stumped me? Girder= beam, who knew? Not me! Anyhow it’s fun and if you get a break in your day, why not?
