Weekend Update

Monday felt like it came quickly! We had another fun weekend, and enjoyed not having any real big plans-- other than three soccer games on Saturday.  We were supposed to only have two games, but then another one was added for Cal's team, so we had games at 9, 10 and 11.  I taught popup in the morning, so I caught Andy's 10:00 game (second half) and Cal's third game. 

But first, Friday night...

Andy and I picked Cal up from school and we headed over to the club for another round of tennis for Cal.  When we got there and found out he was playing a little girl who is really, really good, we all kind of cringed.  

 But then Cal got playing and he played really well- like crazy well.  He kept up with her point for point.  It was tired at the very end, next point won the match,  It was Cal's serve... and he double faulted....!!!! UGH! It was such a close match with a bunch of people standing around watching and cheering.  He really wanted to win it, but he was also happy it wasn't a total blow out- haha.

After eating a quick dinner at the club, we headed to a high school football game! ECHHS was playing CHHS (my old high school vs. Eddie's old high school).  It was...weird...being back there! The boys loved it though and I am sure we will be going back to another game! We ran into Rachel and her boys there.  I was dying to get my hands on her new little guy, Kendall:

He is THE sweetest baby! You can read all about this little man on Rachel's blog.  God knew what he was doing giving this sweet boy to Rachel and Ed.  

Cal played football over on the grass the entire game.  I mean, non-stop running, tackling, playing.  He was filthy, exhausted, and over the moon happy.  He has been asking for a play date with Deuce (Kendall's brother, Rachel's other son) every single day since seeing him at the game.  Deuce might be equally obsessed with football... they are like a match made in heaven!

He faked slept the whole way home... I was tempted to see if he would actually fall asleep, but the grin never left his mouth.  But both boys slept hard that night (not through the night, of course, because, well, duh! But they slept hard when they did sleep!)

 Saturday morning was gorgeous! It was HOT, but beautiful! I taught a Burn 1000 class and then ran over to the rainbow fields.  When I got to Andy's game, he was walking around the field, scratching his belly, looking at clouds.  Not real excited about much.  They did some field switches and he was playing some players who weren't quite as good as his first opponents and he gained some umph.  next thing we knew, he was dribbling the ball down the field and scoring...repeatedly! He scored 4 goals and it was about to be 5 when we made him pass the ball to a team mate (who insisted on taking the ball to the wrong goal-- it was hilarious!). 

Cal's team is pretty incredible to watch.  It is a different league than Andy's and there is much more of a competitive aspect.  Cal LOVES it! He scored 3 goals in the first game and had several assists in the second game.  It is so much fun to watch these games.  It is fun watching Andy's team, but every few minutes, someone is running off the field crying or they don't want to play or they don't like their jersey, etc etc etc.... Cal's team is there to play...and play hard. 

He is number 4 below....

After 3 games, we were all pretty worn out!

We spent the rest of Saturday cleaning house, catching up on laundry, watching football and bring down some fall decorations. 

Eddie left Sunday morning for a work trip. The boys had Sunday school so I attempted a picture on the front porch...

 The above picture isn't great of Andy.... he decided at that minute that he wanted a snack (even though he already had breakfast....) and when I told him he needed to take a picture first, below is what he did.  I was so mad, I yelled at him and told him to stand up and smile.... see above picture.. not great.  I am sure the neighbors could hear him (and me) yelling.  Keeping in real!

While the boys went to Sunday School, I went to Carolina Coffee Shop and sat with some hot tea and my book and ate some breakfast...in the peace and quiet.  It was quite possibly perfect!

We headed home after and changed into bike riding clothes for the boys.  We ran to the mall to pick up a dress I had taken in and the boys wanted to ride the escalator up and back down again.  Sure, why not?

The poor woman in front of them.... and yes, Cal is wearing a glove.  

We parked the car at the pool and I walked while the boys rode their bikes on the Oaks loop.  It was HOT out, but they did great! Andy has started doing tricks on his bike which he loves, but which terrify me.  

We came home and did some yard work and more cleaning and we got ready for the week! We also had a dinner date at Moes :)

Weekends seem to be flying by! Can NOT wait to fly out Thursday to go watch some good football with some great friends!!!! ALuke, JP and T: can't wait!!!!!
