This weekend we got a little glimpse of fall. The air was cool in the mornings and in the evenings, and it wasn't 100 in the middle of the afternoon. It was great! We started our Saturday morning off at the soccer field at 8am. The boys played hard and fought a good fight but walked away with their first defeat of the season against the first place team. Connor played half back and goalie this week and received an honorable mention from Coach David for his fantastic defensive play. He made three big plays as goalie, stopping some great shots from entering his goal. Way to go, little man!
Next, we were off to the baseball field. Connor's team pulled out an 8 to 7 win! They were so excited! Connor played catcher for two innings and scored a run in the final inning - pushing his team towards victory.
That afternoon, we joined some friends at the Down Under Pub for lunch and football. One of our neighbors had an unwelcomed "side of moth" with her kabobs, but other than that, the meal was great! They serve pancakes throughout the day on Saturday, so Megan was in heaven, and Blake, Connor, and I enjoyed the chicken fingers and fries.
While the boys were enjoying the end of the football game, Megan and I headed to the shoe store to find some more ballet flats for her. The trip was successful! We came away with a cute pair of black ballet flats and a pair of brown and white ballet style tennis shoes that she can wear with her jeans and capris. So, she is set! Well ... for a least a month of two.
Tonight, we were on "welcoming" duty at church. Connor headed off to class, and Megan stayed and helped me pass out programs as guests arrived. She loved every minute of it, but headed off early because she did not want to miss anything in her junior high class. Our sermon series right now is entitled "Relationship 911", and it is fantastic! You can hear/download the sermon podcasts at http://www.prestontrail.org/podcast/index.htm.
We spent the remainder of our Saturday evening in the cul-de-sac with friends and neighbors catching up, visiting, and watching the kids play. I was able to get my baby fix when Austin, our 1-year old neighbor, arrived. She has just started walking, and it is so precious to watch her. She was tired, and after a little snuggling, she fell asleep in my arms. There is nothing like snuggling a baby!
Today, Sunday, we slept in a bit, and then Blake was off to the golf course. Connor came in to snuggle us before we got up, and as soon as Blake got up to get ready for golf, Connor announced that he and I were snuggling and watching Transformers together. After a few minutes, Connor decided that it would be fun to use some Pokemon "attack" moves on me, which I did not enjoy so much, so I told him that he had to be still and snuggle if we were going to watch the movie. He quickly grew tired of being still and headed downstairs to find some action, leaving me alone for some quiet time.
I spent most of the afternoon working on the middle school PTO directory. I now have all of the ads and pages formatted, with the exception of the student data. The deadline for submitting membership/directory forms is next Friday, so I will complete the student data section next weekend and send the directory off to the printer.
Well, I'd better call it a night, or I will never get up in the morning. Have a great week!
