Hectic Weekend and Week

This has been the hottest weekend and week! We spent the weekend with extra children running around the house. My two oldest daughters each had friends over and enjoyed spending the entire weekend doing all sorts of fun stuff. The youngest ones were especially grateful for the pool and spent most of days playing around in it. On Saturday I took the two 7 year olds along with my 3yr old to my sons baseball game and party. The day was quite hot and I tried to keep them in the shade where it was a little cooler. They enjoyed playing around while his team won their final game and then we all went to the restaurant that sponsored them and ate a delicious lunch complete with cake and ice cream sundaes. The boys all got their trophies and enjoyed their final time together. Then on Sunday we had another child come over who was my sons friend and we all went to vacation Bible school. They all have enjoyed the activities and since I am helping with crafts I heard, "What are we gonna make tonight Mama?" every day. I have enjoyed this week and all the kids have enjoyed spending time with their friends. Today was the first day we did not have another child at our house and we were able to get the house back in order. We are very excited because tomorrow we are getting to see our favorite person in the world, their daddy! They are so excited and bedtime is just NOT happening. But that is OK since we have a long ride ahead of us in the morning and they will be able to sleep on the way. We look forward to getting him back home where he belongs! Now if only we could have him for a few weeks....... I look forward to spending some much needed time with him and having us all together. Now for the pictures.



Here is how my 3yr old spent her time at the game, swinging from this tree branch. She is quite the little monkey and this is the face she made after I told her she needed to stop her swinging. So funny!



My 7yr old spent her time riding this scooter down the walking trail. She LOVED riding this thing. It was the community scooter amongst all the kids on the team. I am very grateful to the mom who thought of bringing it to each game and to her son for sharing it so well. He was quite popular among the girls!


Here is my sons team. They were a great group of boys and really worked hard this year. I am glad that he had a great coach and that he enjoyed playing. He really improved throughout the season. He is looking forward to playing next season and is hoping for a call from the all star team. My son is the one who his friend has his hand on this shoulder. This is his "cool" face. :)
