Soccer game 4

October 16, 2013

Soccer on Sunday was a little out of the ordinary because several kids were out of town for the Columbus Day weekend (I never knew that was such a big holiday with all the schools out?!).  But, we weren’t going to miss because we had our special cheerleader, GJ, in tow!  We were the first ones there and Maxwell had fun warming up with Coach Robert…

Then Nate showed up and they had even more fun together!

Then Gray showed up and that took us to only 3 Blue team members by game time.  But, the team we were supposed to play only had 1 player and no coach!  Well, 1 player and then her older brother who was ready to play.  So, we combined with another group that was also short players (and also happened to have one team of blue shirts too!).  We played double blue against green/orange and it worked out great.

I don’t know what switched in Maxwell’s head but he just got out there and ran all over that field from the beginning of the game to the end!

He was having a blast charging up and down that field!

And whenever there was a pile-up on the ground, Maxwell would sit down too even when he wasn’t in the pile-up. Hilarious.

Spencey was having a great time hanging out under the umbrella with GJ!

The game was a little challenging for our kids because the 5 year old brother dominated the game.  Dominated.  He shouldn’t have been out there honestly.  Oh well.

That said, everyone still had fun and Nate even gave that 5 year old a little run for his money a few times!  By the end of the game, Maxwell was red-cheeked and sweaty…

He ran his little heart out that whole game and I could not have been more proud!

Only one more game to go!

A little of this…

October 15, 2013

First, a BIG happy birthday to Susu!!  We love you!

Second, a few things going on around here…

Last Thursday was Open House night at Maxwell’s school.  I loved getting to see his teachers, his classroom and all of his artwork!  Maxwell couldn’t wait to show me the bucket firetruck and cow fireman that he plays with every single time he goes to school.  One of the teachers was laughing telling me about how possessive he is of that firetruck and cow fireman!  too funny!  I think Spencey had the most fun of all the kids there.  He loved being in the big kid classroom!

On Saturday, I got up at the crack of dawn and headed to Atlanta with 6 other girls from my Bunco group.  (out of town two weekends in a row! who do I think I am?!)  We went to Scott’s Antique Market and then had a fun night on the town that included the most entertaining Uber cab ride I’ve ever had that involved Blurred Lines, a booming bass and a giant video screen!

The trip was tons of fun and I even came home with that pretty little bench!  Robert, once again, very nicely held down the fort at home.  I think the boys had plenty of fun watching football together!

I headed on back early Sunday because we had visitors!  GJ and Daddo were passing through!  GJ even got to go to Maxwell’s soccer game on Sunday afternoon…

Maxwell did great and played the WHOLE game!  Go buddy go!

GJ also stuck around the next morning. We had just gotten in the car to head to Home Depot when the cement mixer truck pulled up right in front of the house to pour concrete into the section of sidewalk they were repairing.  We obviously put the car in park and hopped out to watch the show!

We no longer have a broken sidewalk but we do have a personalized one now!  🙂

I had grand intentions of doing full initials for both boys but the cement was harder to write in than I thought so we just stuck with an S and an M!  And we also did get on over to Home Depot and my yard is now full of planted pansies!  Hooray!

I think we’re caught up for now…see you tomorrow!
