I look forward to the kids playing, but not necessarily every Saturday morning spent at the soccer field.<br /><br />Looks like you guys were having a lot of fun =)Jessica Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801308494220195403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-88566206210300531022012-04-26T14:54:00.730-04:002012-04-26T14:54:00.730-04:00thanks for the comments :) BoniLady - we didn'...thanks for the comments :) BoniLady - we didn't do *any* extracurriculars when all of our children were small. Our oldest was in 4th grade before we ventured much into the world of out-of-home activities. They were in little things here and there... a girls Bible study, church stuff, but nothing really beyond. We just couldn't do it. But, we're not in the stage of everyone being under 8 now. It's MUCH different. Even with a baby, it's just night and day how different it is with slightly older kids. And my husband meets us at the fields after work most nights, especially if we have more than one child playing.Jaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104879143621094527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-75486718761517209852012-04-26T12:02:32.789-04:002012-04-26T12:02:32.789-04:00Found you through Emily's Embrace the Camera! ...Found you through Emily's Embrace the Camera! I can totally relate to the soccer mom life! ALTHOUGH, I am stressed with only one playing so far! Pathetic, right? I keep secretly hoping that my other three kids won't want to be involved in anything outside the home... how on EARTH do you juggle that many involved in stuff??!! More power to you!! Be blessed :)Boni Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531373509092147254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-12532579864096196212012-04-26T10:44:23.774-04:002012-04-26T10:44:23.774-04:00When my girls were in soccer, I had the same issue...When my girls were in soccer, I had the same issue! It was my least favorite thing about the sport. I only had 3 playing and 2 had practices at the same field on the same days, so that was convenient. I gave them a big snack (most of the time mini pizzas: whole wheat english muffins with pepperoni & cheese) before practice or a game. I tried to have dinner all prepped so it was ready to be thrown together when we got back. Our go to meals are homemade chili (my husband's recipe), tacos, and grilled chicken. I love my crockpot, but finding recipes that are healthy and yummy has been a challenge. My family is a bit picky! lol Pinterest has helped some with that. <br />As for shopping, I've never found a perfect time for that. :( I'm going to try Sunday after church. We have an 8:30 service, so we can go and be done by lunch.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792439094410428625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-43125914183899321142012-04-26T10:13:40.243-04:002012-04-26T10:13:40.243-04:00I'm skeerdy cat, Brandi.

And we like to picnic when we can. I'll usually feed everyone at home with time, but I sometimes bring along for the hubby...meatloaf sandwich, potatoe salad, etc. Sometimes I like the hectic rush, bit I'm always glad when summer slowdown comes!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816222360195109209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-34880489904845732952012-04-26T09:56:16.888-04:002012-04-26T09:56:16.888-04:00I know.

We have the 3 older ones in 5th, 4th, and 1st grade, and it's really tough to give up an afternoon of schoolwork, especially considering we already give up Thursday afternoons for housework. <br /><br />Our pre-soccer gorcery schedule was to go on Tuesdays at 4pm. After nap. That way Brother and Baby still got the rest they need and we could go and get back in time to start dinner. <br /><br />I'm busting out the corckpot (slow cooker) tonight. Pork roasts were on sale, so we're doing BBQ pork sandwiches.<br /><br />Thanks, Deb :) You're so great.Jaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104879143621094527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471143316486769236.post-38324691254996319312012-04-26T09:47:30.682-04:002012-04-26T09:47:30.682-04:00First let me thank you for all your paint colour h...First let me thank you for all your paint colour help.<br />Your children are so cute and photogenic. Major modeling career here? I don't know if you like them, but slow cooker dinners are a good thing. Would you dare take everyone to the grocery store during the day? Probably not! I'm sure you'll work it out, I feel for you!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872411319194316039noreply@blogger.com
