I'm Olaf and I Like Warm Hugs

Good morning everyone. It was quite the busy week over here, so lets get to it. Friday, Mia had a great day at school. They learned about Valentines Day and about love as well as did some art to show who they love. She painted a beautiful piece for Jill with a nice boarder of different buttons and such. Her teacher said she sat there and worked on it for 30 minutes. This kid definitely has the patience for art like her parents do. When I went to pick her up, her teacher told me that she talked Mia into wanting to go to a Valentines Day Party at her school on Thursday. Some of her classmates and her long lost BFF Hannah would be attending but what sold the event to Mia was that "so, can I dress up Miss Angela? Dress and shoes?" Any excuse to dress up, she'll do it.

Saturday, I got up and watched Chelsea take on Aston Villa. I sadly was only able to watch the 1st half, but in the end, we won 2-1. Hazard had a great first goal to get us on the board.  Jill was on the computer booking tickets for Florida during the 2nd half, and normally I would turn on my phone and stream the game, but I was dealing with a very crabby Mia so that didn't happen. We take on Everton on Wednesday. Wonder if our newest signing Juan Cuadrado will make another appearance.

Like I said, we're all booked for our vacation in June. Disney World for ONE day, then the rest of the week with Jill's Grandpa. It's a little overwhelming, thinking about navigating Magic Kingdom for a day and making the most of the experience, but it should be a good time.

Later Saturday, we built a big Olaf in our front yard. To capture some of the detail, Jill used food coloring to paint the eyes, mouth and nose. We think it turned out nice and some cars where slowing down by our house to take photos. Mia would wave to them. Mia took some of the paint and painted her own little snow boulder. It's very Jackson Pollack. Later, we went out for dinner. Mia had to go to the bathroom at one point, so I took her. After she was done, she loudly proclaims "LOOK HOW BIG MY POOP IS!" Hope no one got startled at the urinal. Sunday morning, we drove to this pet spa near my parents house with Remi. If you donate $20 to HAWS animal rescue, they would trim your dogs nails and give them a bath, plus they'd give you a gift certificate to the pet bakery next door. Remi didn't care for the washing and trimming but he smells a lot better now.

They dropped me off at work, and picked me up at 10pm. Mia was so stoked to see me, which ended the long night perfectly. I've been looking around with hopes of finding an indoor team to play on come Summer time but I have doubts I'll find anything. Every team is established so I may try contacting dudes I've played with in the past and see if they could use another attacking midfielder.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
