Holland's Economic Lesson #1

When you have so many Barbies that they no longer all fit in the drawer, it's time to let some go. Remember it's not personal, it's just business.

Team Holland vs Team Hungary

Grey had his first soccer game Saturday. (Last week's was rained out which is pretty standard for the soccer season in Houston.) It was a bit of a romp and not in a good way for us. Team Hungary put the hurtin' on Team Holland to the tune of 7-2. Naturally, you say, put the loss behind you and focus on next week. Well, we discovered that there are only 2 teams in this division. You got it, we play Team Hungary every game. Mac says to just look at it as a 8 game playoff series. Somehow, I'm not encouraged by that.

I think this picture of Grey and Assistant Coach Mac sums up the general mood of Team Holland.

I think it brings out the blue in her eyes, don't you?

World Cup Soccer, Upwards Style

It's time again for soccer, and we are playing with the Upwards league again. Grey will be playing in the 4th-6th grade division. This year the teams are named World Cup style....after countries. What country did Grey get, you ask? He is on........ Team Holland

He didn't find it as amusing as the rest of us did.

More Than Good Intentions This Year

In order to avoid this scenario again, (January 2009)


I loaded up my unsuspecting kids as soon as they got off the bus and took them to get their flu shots. They handled it very well.
No bribery required, not even the chocolate kind.
