Friday, after teaching a fun class outside and picking up the boys, I started the getting ready process for The Carolina Ball- a gala benefiting the SECU Family House. We go every year and we have the best time every year.
Thank goodness I started getting ready early because this little guy makes everything take a little longer! He sure is sweet though....
My parents weren't going this year, and my mom wanted to see the finished look....
We took a selfie in the car on the way there...
And ran into some friends in the parking lot as we pulled in!
We took a mirror selfie while we waited for the elevator...because, why not?
My girl Sall was on my best dressed list for the night. Her dress was amazing...
I appear to be a giant next to Virginia....
Saturday morning we had a 9am soccer game. It was early, but of course our boys were up wayyyyyy early- haha...after a long night, that early wake up came quickly!
We played a pretty miserable team, to be honest. They had a little boy from Mexico on their team, who I am pretty sure came out of the womb playing soccer...and I am pretty sure he came out of the womb 8 years ago. This league is 5 and under and this kid was a giant-- it was pretty awful playing against him. And they had 2 other kids on their team who would shove and grab shirts to throw to the side.... it wasn't fun for anyone, sadly. We were all thrilled when the game ended!
Everyone played great, but we were happy to end that game!
The original plan for the week was for Eddie and Poppy to take both boys to Winston for the Wake Forest/Army football game. It had been the plan all week. I was going to have a day to myself--Eddie is traveling a bunch this week so I was going to have a day to clean and run errands and take a walk...all by myself! Andy started in early saying he didn't want to go to the game; he was scared of the fireworks; he would miss mommy, and on and on and on. When it came time to go, he FREAKED out. Like total freak out. I really wanted Eddie and Cal and Poppy to have a great day together and I didn't want them having to deal with Andy's meltdowns. Andy also has been having poop issues this week and I didn't want Eddie having to take him to the potty every 4 seconds at the game. So, Andy stayed behind with me.
Cal was so excited to go!
And, Andy's last little meltdown took its toll on him. He was sound asleep at 11 am. He slept hard for over 2 hours, until Bruce barked and woke him up.
Eddie sent me picture updates because that's what we do! Cal got a new hat-- can you tell how excited he is to be there?
When Andy woke up, we went on a lunch date to firehouse subs....
..and then we strolled the aisles of Trader Joes.
When we got home, he hung out on the couch with the iPad while I vacuumed downstairs and mopped-- I was in seriously cleaning mode!
The boys came home from the game and I think the dads were worn out...
Sunday morning, the boys were playing SO nicely with their football guys. They were happy and quiet-- it was perfect!
While he rested inside, I hooked Bruce up to an outside yard leash and picked up dog poop and pinecones in the front yard-- don't be jealous. It was such a pretty day, I wanted to soak up some sunshine!
It's been a fun weekend with plans flip flopping around-- but still nice!
