Football Pictures and Cocunut Slushies

Sometimes Donte and I have such conflicting schedules it's hard to know which way we are going. When you add the boys schedules into the mix they get even more confusing. We try and spend the weekends together because quite frankly those are the two days that the four of us can be together. Unfortunately today we had to split. Donte took Donnie and went to his units organizational day while Dannie and had to hang behind so we could go and get his football pictures made. Dannie and I started the day watching reruns of Runs House and eating pancakes in bed. We spent forever laughing and just having a great time. Then we ran to Target to pick up some cheese...I know your thinking why Target? Well Target makes pepper jack cheese sticks that the boys love. Since the school district is on a healthy eating kick they make the perfect snack. Then it was off too McDonald's for lunch..Dannies choice. I wasn't complaining I love the sweet tea and the fries. I didn't realize how much I liked sweet tea until I moved to the Midwest and they didn't have it. Then we rushed home got Daniel all dressed up in his football gear and headed to the high school for his football pictures. It was due to rain today and the air was heavy and sticky. I hate days like this here because they just don't use air conditioning here like we do in the south. At the schools if school is not in session the air is turned off...I know... CRAZY. We got to the high school at 2:30, the rain was in a good down pour by then, and ran into the gym. OMG it was like a Sauna. I immediately felt the sweat beads pop up on my fore head. I searched for the group that I usually hang with and found Elsa. She has twin boys on the team and she is so sweet. Then Dawn, and Terri followed. Now the guidance we received was to meet at 2:30. I figured that the pictures would be at 3:00. By this time we were all looking like we had run a marathon. Luckily I had put my hair in a pony tail but I could feel the sweat dripping down my back. Then one of the Moms come by and tells us that we are scheduled for pictures at 4....UH WHAT? OMG can I say that, that was the longest hour and a half that I have ever had to go through.....I'd rather go through child birth without an epidural. By the time it was all said and done it felt like I had been sitting in a super hot sauna for days. Now if this is how I felt can you imagine how Daniel felt in all his football gear....my poor baby!! Can I just say that we really appreciate the cool 72 degrees that the house is set too.

Remember my old post about cheap coconut soda? Well my husband found me a place that sells coconut slushies. I swear the soda that they make the slushies with is the same coconut soda that I used to love all those years ago.

Donte's off getting Chinese food for tonight and he should be home any minute...he just walked in the door. Do I know my husband or what?

That sounds like our house. We have three kids and we're constantly out and about at sporting events and scouting. (ICLW)

Sounds like a crazy day! I'm not looking forward to that part of parenting (so far my little one is too young for a busy schedule!)

Eating pancakes in bed sounds like the way to go! :)

Funny that you bring up sweet tea. My husband and I are from the Chicago land area and didn't know a lick about sweet tea. The army sent us to GA and I found that I do not like sweet tea one bit, but my husband loves it. When we go back home to visit family, he definitely misses his sweet tea.
