Germs

Am I the only mom is NOT scared of germs?

I think I am the only mom that does not have a shopping cart cover for their kid to sit on. I sit him right on the seat. And I don't disinfect it first. GASP! . Same with high chairs.

I also let him sit in the cart with just a diaper, no clothes. I guess this is weird now.

I take Hayden everywhere shoeless/sockless. Apparently even babies need to wear shoes, if you go to burger king or they won't serve you. See this link:

I hate burger king (and all fast food pretty much) so this is no loss for me. But i do take Hayden to restaraunts. All summer with no shoes. I guess I didn't get the memo.

I let him touch everything and don't clean his hands afterwards. Unless it is something gross.

I will feed him food off of the floor if it just fell.

I can go on and on...

So far this week...

So far this week...

We have lowered Hayden's crib. He was trying to climb out of it the other morning.


I had to go in and pull Hayden's leg out of the bars on the crib 2x. Once he was screaming at 4 am. The other around 6 am. He really gets that leg stuck. Poor boy.

I have been bitten and slapped by Hayden numerous times. He plays way too rough.

I have been soaked in a huge rain storm 3x. Stupid soccer practices.

We spent an evening without running water. That wasn't fun.

Hayden and I went to play at the VILE mall playground that I always swore my kids would not play at. He loved it. Everything is so soft and he could just climb away. And he loved watching the other kids. Tons came up and talked to him and me. Kids always talk to me. Not sure why.

I have probably lost 10 pounds sweating in the afternoon heat and humidity.

We killed a huge and very fast spider outside of Hayden's room. And screamed and woke him up!

Broke my favorite tennis shoes. They cracked all they way from the heal to the middle of my foot. I am sad. I got them on Ebay and they were awesome.

Went home between practices to get something. Then accidently fell asleep and didn't get to go play with Hayden :(

Survived 2 practices a day with almost 40 teenage girls.

Took huge grasshoppers out of Haydens pool.

Checked Hayden's poopy diapers for a piece of plastic he swallowed.

Ahh fun times!

Ready for some football???

Feelin Hot, Hot Hot!

Pre-Season has started and of course the weather is super hot. Boy was I sure glad that I wasn't pregnant today! It never fails to be the hottest days of the summer for soccer camp. We have managed all summer with no air conditioner. The weather had been so cool. My girls were dying Monday afternoon. I felt bad. But we have soooooo much work to do. They struggled with basic passing drills. I have got my work cut out for me this season. Today was another hot one. Then the rain came. We got hit hard. It poured for a good 10-15 minutes. The wind was going and we were pelted with huge cold rain drops. We were soaked. The girls loved it. But man was it hot afterwards.





Hayden loves cooling off in the pool. So today we let him have the hose. He enjoyed it. He also likes trying to catch and pop bubbles. He is getting so big.




He is also enjoying riding his little people car and trying to push it.





Here is a picture of him with his "comb over" like dads:

We have a crawler.

Hayden has been doing his own version of crawling for almost 2 months now. (See 1st video). He would sort of go on his side and do a half army crawl, often dragging his face on the floor. He now is crawling for real as of Sunday. (see 2nd video)



Sorry for the not so hot videos. The screen is broken so I can't see what I am filming.

Last Free Weekend

This was my last soccer free weekend for awhile. We just kind of hung out. We took Hayden swimming and he loved it.



Here are a series of shots of us dunking Hayden:(which he totally does not care)

Over - 23 League Runner Ups

Here is my team shot for the over -23 league. We play small sided games. It was fun. I look like a huge giant in this picture. Not sure why. I must have been standing on higher ground.
