Weekend Update

We survived the first two days of kindergarten and, even though we have only had 2 days in, I would say so far, so good! Cal really likes it and is enjoying his class and teachers.  Phew! We will see if he continues to like it... I hope he will! We have started to add in his other activities, which is keeping him ( and us!) super busy, but I think that's a good thing.

He doesn't get out of school until 3:35, which means getting into my car around 3:45/3:50.  I have to figure out the sweet spot for pick up times...

Friday, we walked Cal in to school (he will start walking in this week!), but he posed for a quick picture before:


See those sneakers?? (hard to miss them...) Homie tied those puppies all by himself.  yeehaw! He isn't great at doing it, but he tied both of them and he was pumped!

Andy is all about taking pictures now.  Unfortunately that meant a nasty picture of momma... oh well!


 Andy and I spent the day together getting things done, and we even hung out at the pool for a bit.   He gave Bruce some much needed loving (that is facetious; this is the most loved on dog in America, next to Hank). 

Of course we had to do some bike riding too...  his day is not complete without riding that thing.

Friday, I picked Cal up from school and drove straight from the carpool line to the country club for an invitational tennis tournament.  It started at 4 and we showed up right at 4! Cal ran straight down to the court and played tennis for over 2 straight hours... after a full day at school...!
 He had fun playing-- and bless his heart, he just likes to play physical! He was diving on the ground for balls, rolling in the clay, and falling every chance he got.  He did not win one match-- and he didn't care in the least.  THAT makes me so proud. 

They gave out trophies once the tournament was over and Cal received the Sportsmanship award.  I pray that he will always be a good sport when he plays.  I want him to try hard, but to also enjoy playing sports-- all while being a good person.  


After the matches, the kids went to kids club and we had a fun little group sitting outside for dinner.  I got to hold this sweet little angel... she doesn't even look real, she is so precious.  

Saturday morning, I was up bright and early for:


We took a little break during summer from KidsPop, but it is back and it was so much fun!!! I had 11 kids show up and we had a great time moving and grooving.  


I called one little girl 'sis' and she goes, "I am not your sister!" and this sweet thing goes "I will be your sister, Ms. Carrie..." I was about to scoop her up and squeeze her- haha!

Cal went with me to kidspop while Eddie took Andy to tee ball.  Cal and I ran a quick errand and then headed home to find Andy splashing in the kiddie pool.  He came in and was cold and wanted to snuggle Bruce (again, this dog just gets no love!)

Bruce was flat worn out.  I couldn't find him and after looking, he sent himself up to his room and walked in his crate- only way he gets any peace and quiet! ha!

We had a birthday party at Pump it Up Saturday afternoon and then it was time to get dressed up and head out for a friend's birthday party.  It was a FUN night.  There was lots of dancing, lots of laughing, lots of drinking, and lots and lots of FUN! Sunday morning was ROUGH. 


Popup Instructors!

MY GIRL..... I heart her. 


Andy managed to get in our bed that night and he also managed to spin himself around.  I woke up to his little legs across my face and neck (one was on my forehead and one on my throat.  I woke up in a panic-haha).  

Sunday was lazy as we were licking our wounds from the previous night.  Being on a group text chain with a bunch of people telling funny stories kind of made my whole day. 

I took a friend with a new baby dinner and I made these enchiladas.  I love them because they make enough that I could take their family half and we could have the other half later in the week!

The weekend flew by.  This will be Cal's first full week at school and I also go back to work on Tuesday to start prepping for my preschool gig.  I imagine we will all be worn out come Labor Day weekend....might as well rest up at the beach!

And this... in case you have a case of the Mondays... this made ma laugh.  I love dogs.  These are awesome.
