the soccer scoop!

• 250 plus AYSO regions applied for teams to go the AYSO national tournament...


• 24 AYSO regions were picked (and 12 of them were california regions?!)...


• idaho falls was one of the regions picked...


• there were 25 kids in idaho falls who tried out for the team, and jacks made the cut!!
  

so we will be in west palm beach in july watching him play soccer on the international polo club's fields! and you maybe you're wondering if ryan is all bunched up about not making the team... and the answer is a big, fat no. because he doesn't have to fundraise, practice or do any of the hard work... and yet he still gets to go on the family vacation to florida and even get to play in the soccerfest on the day before the tournament. yes, it is good to be ryan!

a caramel macchiato update:

• we went to starbucks to get the prototype
  
• went to the library for the opaque projector--for a supreme logo reproduction
  
• the cup has been made out of paper mache and chicken-coop-stuff
  
• we're painting the cup tonight with the first coat
  
• we're still working out the eye-holes and who'll carry the bucket due to the irony of being vulnerably encased in the cup...

this time last year, i was desperately painting bones for jacks' skeleton costume. so knowing we're not paper mache-ing on wednesday makes me feel like we're ahead of the game!! why we can't just buy costumes? i'll never know...
