It’s soccer playoff time…

and we whipped the one team we didn't beat all season last nite. I believe some gloating needs to happen. Our boys played hard, didn't give up and listened to us coaches (not that I know anything about coaching soccer). It was such a fun game to watch.

The win is all the more sweeter cause the team we beat played two kids for the whole game (and sat out two other kids) which, for so many reasons is sooo wrong. I know this happens but this is a developmental soccer league and this type of play is against league rules. The two kids are awesome soccer players but they just ran out of steam.

Our next playoff game is Friday. We were trying to decide if N would be at this game or not. He has three events happening on Friday and of course all are at the same time – hockey camp windup (where there will be food and N loves to eat), a soccer playoff game and a b-day invite. It looks like N will be going to the birthday party as the girl's parents are renting a hummer limo and driving the kids around town. Oooh...

Kraft magazine recipe update
I did manage to make one recipe from the summer mag. It was for the Oreo and Fudge Ice Cream "Cake". N and his friends loved it but I found it a little too sweet.

Hopefully the fall recipe mag will be in my mailbox soon!

Ikea catalogue
The 2008 catalogue arrived yesterday. I spent every free moment scanning the pages. I may even actually order a chair from Ikea (see photo below). This chair isn't my first choice. I really, really love a red leather chair at another furniture store, but it is $1000.

You can remove the cover on the Ikea chair and wash it. This is a good thing.
