I feel like I am only blogging weekend updates and carriedaway posts, but that will suffice for now. The week is just jam-packed with stuff and there is no time to write posts. Soccer is over now, so we have a little more time until the next activity starts...not much, but some!
This weekend was a special one because we had a special visitor: CB! This sweet woman (Eddie's sister) really wanted to come to a soccer game (she's a realllllly good aunt!!!!) so she came to town-- is that not the sweetest???
Friday after school, I did some cleaning around the house-- Bruce, who is not allowed out of the kitchen, flew over the couch and pretended to be a pillow while I was vacuuming... so sneaky, B.
We went out to dinner Friday night before heading to the airport to get CB. When we got home, we opened up a bottle of wine and CB and I worked on a puzzle and drank and called Tricia....who was driving ACROSS THE COUNTRY, from LA to NC.
When we finally went to bed, Hank had already sent himself to bed and was snoozing on Andy's sleeping bag. Which he sleeps in every night. It's actually pretty cute...Hank sleeps on the sleeping bag until Andy comes in to get in it (because he is the world's worst sleeper....) and then Hank moves to his bed...it's like he warming Andy's spot for him! Or, it's like I am trying to find some cuteness in the BS that is Andy's sleep patterns. Either way.
Saturday morning was the Ducks last game! Here is most of our team staring into the sun.
The boys got medals and they were proud!
Cal and Andy played SO hard this game and I was a proud momma. Cal has been working hard all season, but Andy didn't really come around until the end. Well, he now loves it as much as his brother and truly likes playing now. It takes him a minute each game to kinda remember what to do, but once he gets his feet wet, he does great! He does NOT like when he has to sub out and he wants to keep playing the whole game! He scored this last game-- a legitimate goal-- by dribbling the ball all the way down the field and shooting it in. And he scored in the correct goal, which is always something to celebrate with Andy..... I am so thankful he decided he likes it!
We came home from the game and watched some football-- these two had some serious snuggle time on the couch. Andy kept that medal on for the whole day.
Saturday afternoon we had a pig pickin at a friend's house so CB kept the boys for a while for us! I didn't take any pictures there, but a friend did and sent this one to me....
When we came home on Saturday, I had Cal write "WELCOME HOME" on a brown paper bag for Tricia and Tommy. I filled the bag with North Carolina goodies as a welcome bag for them. I love that Cal is so into writing his letters and now writing words. He really wants to start reading...
I changed into comfy clothes as soon as I got home and Bruce climbed into my lap. I look like a house in the below picture, but I love how Bruce thinks he's a lap dog- haha.
Sunday, the boys put on their new shirts from CB and we had to take some pictures! CB's manfriend is in the military and they got the boys these adorable shirts!
My dad's birthday is this weekend and for his present, I had the boys get into their race car driver costumes to take a picture with my dad's race car. It isn't really a race car, but it looks like one. We took a picture before, on the front porch....
And then the boys asked to take out picture.... this is what they came up with...
And here were the pictures of the boys in front of the car....
Sunday night we had swim practice and then we were ALL exhausted!!!! It was a fun weekend with CB!!!
