A Night of Notes

I woke up yesterday not feeling too hot but shook it off and came to work.  Got progressively worse and headed home - 24 hour stomach bug.  This morning when I woke up I found the following note on my vanity in the bathroom ....


Needless to say she (Lacey - aka Chatty) is my favorite today!! BTW - she had to do an oral presentation yesterday on a famous person and she chose Mia Hamm.  I got her a USA soccer shirt and she wore her bright green cleats for her presentation!  Her teacher took pictures of everyone in costume and thought Chatty's cleats were so wild she had to get them in the picture too! 

Since I wasn't feeling too well I went to bed early (very early) and was woken up by a ringing phone at 8:30 pm.  Mr. ESPN answered and I could hear him talking (although not anything clearly) but figured out who was on the other line.  So when Mr. ESPN came to bed I asked him and he told me about the conversation - well as many details as guys give you.  Since he thought I was asleep he left the following note next to the coffee maker ....

In case you can't read his handwriting (i.e. he should have been a Dr.) it says due date Sept 1, 6 weeks 4 days along, Gina is pregnant.  I have to give him props because details are not his sort of thing and he really put a lot of effort into this one. 

And on a completely unrelated note (no pun intended) ... a picture of my soccer player champ ... her team took first place in their division last weekend. 

Sorry for the odd size - I cropped her friend out of the picture since i didn't check with the mom about posting it on the blog.

Since the competition wasn't too stiff the coach was able to rotate players quite a bit (making Mr. ESPN and the other parents very happy).  Chatty took advantage of it and scored 5 goals in one game ... I think she was trying to send a message!  LOL!  We had a great time with the other families and the girls had a blast ... so much so I have been in recovery mode all week!

This is a cute post, C! Missed your blog. Chatty's handwriting and spelling is impressive! Mr. ESPN's handwriting isn't, but his out of the ordinary note-taking is super sweet ;)
Love from Sass!!
