Happy Monday to you!The very last Monday in September! Wowowowow! Nearly October -- my favorite month. Can't really say why I like it so much... Hmmm... Maybe something to do with birthdays?
Victory, sweet victory!!
Yesterday, the Blasters beat the Lightning Bolts 4-0! Way to go, Blasters! Edward played really well in all his positions, including two saves as goalie. He even took the ball up the field, nearly far enough to get it to the goal. It was an exciting game, to say the least!
And even though it was the first day of Autumn...Summer had the last laugh on all of us with a very hot afternoon. Edward said it was so hot he thought he was going to melt into a "puddle of human."
A new week, a new video, and the potential for lots of new fun!
The countdown continues....only 3 1/2 months (count 'em!) until 24 premieres. Even less until the Season 6 comes out on DVD. Yeeeee-haw! Prison Break started last Monday night with a promising beginning...since the main character is back in prison...in Panama. Another new episode tonight. We haven't watched much of anything else though we're spoiled for choice with all the new shows starting up. I borrowed the movie The Departed from the library and can't say that I'd recommend it. We spent 2 1/2 hours watching some excellent acting -- but the ending...well, you'll have to see for yourself.
We begin our 4th week of school today. I can't believe how quickly the school year is going already. We're nearly finished our first month. I'm teaching journalism in the high school at the homeschool learning group we attend. I have a great group of six students and think they'll have fun learning to put together a newspaper. This semester I'm helping them. Next semester, they'll do it all by themselves. Hmmm...should be interesting, if nothing else.
We get our new windows this coming Friday. Yes...our nearly-90-year-old house has 19 windows on the main two floors. Two years ago we replaced 7 of them. It made a world of difference in our heating bills that year. Now, we're finally replacing the rest of them. It should make a big difference in our heating/cooling bills, and our house will definitely look nicer! *grin*

One of the things that has impressed me with the soccer program Edward is in has been simplicity of the team uniform. Each team has the same shirt in a different team color.
Edward's team, the Blasters, wears maroon. They played the Lightning Bolts who wore a light blue shirt. Last week, the Blasters played another team that was light green.
It makes for a very colorful field when you glance across it at game time.
