Sleddin' Diva

Evenin' everyone. Don't know why I typed it like that, but we're sticking with it. Mostly enjoyable week was had, and we even got to watch snow appear and disappear in a matter of 7 days. 5.7 inches in New Berlin after that snow dumping, which of course means sledding on my day off after school with Mia. Before that, I watched the Chelsea vs Norwich League Cup match. It was funny, while waiting for Mia, I thought "just maybe I'll talk her out of sledding today since it's pretty cold out" she came running out of the building for the 1st time ever fully dressed in snow pants/boots/gloves/hat. There was no way I was going to talk her out. It was 1-0 when I got the kiddo with only a few minutes left of the match. As intrigued as Mia was watching, we wanted to get to the hill with whatever light was left in the evening. As soon as we arrived to Pickle Pond, Norwich tied it. Crap.

We trekked across the snowy field and discovered someone built a kicker. Awesome. While Mia made several attempts to hit the ramp, I was getting updates on the match and in the end, Chelsea won in PK's. Good. Mia and I had a blast going down the hill and a couple other kids joined us as well. Mia only hit the jump once on a longer sled which didn't give her the maximum distance she would have gotten on a smaller one. It was getting dark so we had to leave despite the fact she really wanted to get one good jump. She was getting pretty cold anyways, so when we got back, I made us dinner and we relaxed and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory till Jill got home from work/acupuncture.  All in all, good evening.

Throughout the week, the weather changed and started to warm up. So long snow. Saturday, I got up nice and early to watch the Chelsea vs Brighton match. Great 4-0 win. Jill and I drove down to Illinois to meet up with our travel companion and good friend Leanne to go over our big trip. They ended up booking a chocolate tour. Dates are good. AirBnB's are good. All we need to do is book flights. We figured out what we're doing in California as well. July isn't too far away, so we're getting pretty excited for the trip.

Drove back home, picked up a cheap couch from my co-worker and met up with our very helpful family to help rearrange the living room. We didn't exactly measure the space and sorta winged it, so the space is a bit different now, but it works. The previous couch was completely falling apart and is now in the basement. A much better place to sit comfortably when Mia's playing downstairs.

At first, Mia wasn't a fan of the new layout in the living room. Not a fan of change, but over the course of a day, got used to it and likes it now. Saturday night, I went to our Flood Supporters Group meeting to discuss plans for the 2018 season. The owner/coach joined us, so it was nice catching up on things and what he's got going on. Today, Jill and Mia went to Easton's birthday party while i went to work.

This week, Mia's got her very first sleepover at OUR house with Cecilia. Not sure what the girls have planned for our house, but Sunday I'm taking all of them to the Milwaukee Wave match. It'll be both Mia, Cecilia and Jill's first Wave game. Should be a great time. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
