Team Dinner

As if this week wasn't a crazy one already, my friend Julie and I decided we'd do a team dinner for the Southridge girls soccer team. Being the coach's wives we thought they deserved something fun after their big win on Tuesday night that ended their regular season league games.

{Let me paint a picture for you of Julie and I at the game in the freezing cold and horrible wind. Both of us had big coats, sweaters, and sweatshirts on. Scarves, gloves, hoods and then we each wrapped ourselves up in a big blanket so only our faces were left uncovered. The guys told us we could sit up in the announcer's box out of the cold, but we decided to sit behind them in the bleachers so they could hear us cheer. Which they couldn't because of the wind. But that's ok. It's the thought that counts. We got up to go get hot chocolate at the half and could barely move. Thank goodness for the hot chocolate though, I think that prevented us from freezing completely solid.}

Julie offered to have it at her house and we are going to attempt to feed 20+  soccer girls (and coaches) that according to Riley, really like to eat and can eat A LOT. We've got pork roasts going in the crock pot for BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, and my counter is filled with peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, snicker doodles, and pumpkin bars. I did most of the baking last night after the kids were in bed and it is amazing how much I can get done when all the little helpers are asleep.

We're really looking forward to celebrating the girls and  having a fun night. They have worked so hard and deserve good things to happen to them. We are excited for the team and what lies ahead of them in the next few weeks.
