Day 252/365 - Soccer, Sax, and Sweet Rhapsody

Saturday, September 11
Today must have been one of the busiest, activity filled days spent at home.

First, I ran six miles.
Then we got ready for Erica's opening soccer game.

Moving Forward

And they start the season with a win. She's moved up in the line up - she's number 8 this year (vs twenty something from last year). Still deep green in color, so in a pinch, she could wear last year's jersey (although if I suggest this, it would elicit the double eye roll response).

10.09.11 - Half Time Rest

Lunch from Jimmy John's and we're ready to start on the home improvement project of the day - repainting Erica's room from the standard "wheat" color to her chosen "Sweet Rhapsody" color, a turquoise / aqua.

And a curious Sammy checks out our actions:
Overseeing the Activities

While Scott and Erica start the process of painting, Brian and I set off to the music store to set him up with an Alto Saxophone. It's his chosen instrument as he starts 5th grade band.
Budding Musician

We managed to complete the painting in time for Scott and I to attend the Illini Football game.
The After Shot

I haven't been to a game in maybe four years. A perfect night, and the home team won!
