April showers bring may flowers--supposedly

april showers bring....snow? since when does it snow in april in missouri?! since yesterday. insane! just two weeks ago we were enjoying some 80 degree weather and i was contemplating turning on my a/c. everything in town began to blossom and we enjoyed some beautiful flowers. then it froze overnight and bam! my flowers are now wilted and tinged whitish/grey. :( this also meant that the kids's soccer games were canceled for today. :(:( next week is supposed to heat up into the 50s and 60s (yay!) and so hopefully the games will be back on. jacob is amazing on the field. he's been able to do a drop kick for over a year now. last year his speech therapist recommended i enroll him in the physical therapy kids program at msu (formally smsu) because it's said that physical therapy promotes speech. well, i had him tested at msu. the instructor's mouth just dropped when he saw everything that jacob could do at such a young age. at age 4, when he was asked to throw a baseball, he actually cranked his whole arm backwards and threw it across the entire room. needless to say, the head of the dept refused to let him in the program because he's so skilled (i'm bragging, i know). that kid has so much energy (a tigger himself)...i'm so glad that he's in a sport where he can just run and run and run....as soon as he's old enough, i'm putting him in track and field.
anyway, i was hoping to have some cool soccer pix to post today...all i have are some blurry ones from jacob's practice. it was cold and the wind was a wsw of 22. the adults had a hard time not being blown over, let alone those little 4-6 year olds. so we'll have to wait til next week. :)
