Final Soccer Game

November 12, 2014

Well…3 weeks later I’m finally recapping Maxwell’s final soccer game!  Better late than never!  The game was on the same day we did Spencer’s birthday party and he was pretty worn out so GJ and Daddo stayed home with him but we did get to have 2 other great cheerleaders with us that day – Lulu and Granddad!

This was also picture day and it was as disorganized as always. Like last year, we skipped individual pictures and attempted to get a team photo. I snapped a pic of the boys while we were waiting…

and that was pretty much how all of the team pictures went too!  I didn’t bother ordering one of the “official” photos and just took some with my own camera.  These were the best of them all…

All framers!  ha!  Why they had them trying to stare directly into the sun and smile I don’t understand.

I also took a few of my own individual pictures of Maxwell…

Cutie.

Once we got through pictures, it was time for the game but our opposing team was still waiting for their pictures so we played some red light/green light instead!

After a while, we were still waiting on the red team so Coach Robert decided to go on and hand out trophies…

Awesome!

By the time the games usually end at 4:30, the red team was just making their way over to the field.  Even though some of the blue team members had to leave, we still played a little game with those that were left.

Maxwell scored a few goals and had fun. That’s what counts!

He was also happy because he saw his best bud, Lila, on the field that day.

After a short game, everyone shook hands, had a snack and were on their way!

It was a good end to a great season.  I’m so proud of my little soccer player for hustling every game and playing so hard!  Go Maxwell Go!

A hairbrush would have gone a long way!  He’s still cute though.

Unfortunately, Spencer was NOT feeling the pictures according to his teacher and wouldn’t even let her sit him down to even attempt a picture.  So, no lovely school pictures for Spencey.  Oh well. Here’s his from last year…

Maybe next year will be our year…or maybe not!  🙂

Weekend

November 10, 2014

Is it Friday yet? Oh wait, happy Monday! Yep, our weekend was busy busy busy. I think the next few weeks are going to be busy busy busy too! We’re in full swing on all of the new house renovations and it’s not slowing down until we move in. Here’s how our weekend went down…

GJ was here at the end of last week because she and I met with a decorator for a few hours and it was great. We walked away with some really good ideas and PAINT COLORS! hooray! I had a good idea of what I wanted – and had the samples to check out – but the decorator helped us hone in on what will look really good. I can’t wait to see it all transformed.

On Saturday, we picked up some breakfast and headed over to the new house to check things out. We were pleased to see the painters over there!  Gotta meet that deadline!

The painters were pleased to see all the AL hats on my boys’ heads! Roll Tide!

Later that morning, we headed out to Lowe’s to check out fridges.  The boys had no problems entertaining themselves there!

The day wasn’t all work though, we managed to find time for a little play…

and to cheer Alabama on to a (very stressful!) victory over LSU!

Sunday it was breakfast…

and back to the house. I’m so glad to have such good helpers…

and it doesn’t hurt that they’re pretty cute too!  🙂

The boys then took their dimples to Sunday school…

and we all managed to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL fall weather we’re having.  So thankful for that!

It was a busy but great weekend.  Now I’ve got to get back to picking hardware, researching door knobs, finding wallpaper….it’s fun!

The After Party

November 6, 2014

As much fun as the costumes, parade and trick-or-treating were, the most fun of Halloween was hanging out at home afterward eating chili, checking out the candy, and laughing with my boys!
