On Friday, I subbed in Andy's class and then after school, I went and got a mammogram. A few reasons why-- cancer runs in my family; I want to be so proactive about it all. And, Molly (my cousin) passing away totally rocked my world. It scared me and made me want to be even more aware of my health. Molly didn't have breast cancer, but I wanted to be able to go and make sure everything was A-OK. And it was. Phew. I am not waiting until 45 for that first screening. That's cray.
Friday night, Eddie planned on taking Cal to the state fair to eat some grub and then watch the demolition derby and monster truck show (if this was that show Home Improvement, they would be grunting right now...). Andy hasn't gone in the past because it is simply way too loud for his sensitive ears. This year, though, be said he wanted to go...so they made a boys night out of it! I felt guilty for about .4 seconds (do y'all do that too? It's like a fear of missing out on the memory making...and absolutely stupid of me), and then I agreed to not tag along. Instead, I went and had a glass of wine while getting a pedi....!!!
I got this picture from Eddie along with the caption: "first stop at the fair"
They had a BIG time and ate yummy fair food and enjoyed the demolition derby...
They stayed up super late and pulled in the driveway close to 10:00. I went out to meet them and Andy was sound asleep. I carried him in and had both boys in bed very quickly.
Saturday morning, we had two soccer games at 9am. I went to Andy's and Eddie went to Cal's. Andy's season isn't over yet, but we did the team picture and they handed out medals-- he was pumped.
After the games, we headed home to get some stuff done and to walk the dogs. We were heading to the Carolina game that afternoon!
We met a bunch of friends at a tailgate party that was super fun. Sweet Anne Carter was there in her UVA cheerleading costume so we had to get a picture next to Andy in his jersey.
Two fun friends at the tailgate!
We headed over to meet my parents to help us get everyone into the game. I loved walking up and seeing Cal and my dad chatting it up.
We ran into my friend Andrea and her little boy Wells once we were inside. He showed up wearing the most adorable button down shirt and then quickly changed into his new jersey-- welcome to boy life, Andrea!!! hahaha I used to love dressing the boys so cute for the games...but now they insist on the jerseys...always.
My boys looooved playing with Wells and it was the cutest thing ever watching Wells play with them. He loved paying catch with them. It was seriously adorable. LOVE how he is looking up at Cal. I mean... how sweet is that?
I got to see Julie too- these two are Andy's God Moms so I had to take a picture with them!
Me and Andrea and Julie!
We looked over and the Ram walked in...!
It was such a fun Saturday with these boys!
After the game we went over to my mom's house with a bunch of people and ate more tailgate food and kept on drinking. It was another long night for the boys-- we didn't get home until close to 10 again. We had a sleepless night in our house with Cal having loads of leg cramps from an over busy day and Andy with the start of a cough.
Sunday we were lazy in the morning (well, the boys were...my chores don't allow me to be too lazy!) and then I went with Cal and Andy to the Fall Fest at the Country Club-- it was so much fun!
There are bounce houses filling up parking lots and food trucks. These two got in the boxing ring together...
Next up was these two: Cal and Brad!
And they too, remained friends after! Love their smiles!
We came home from the fall fest worn out! I threw the boys in the tub for a long bath.
We are SUPER excited for next weekend and HALLOWEEN! It will be a fun week leading up to it. Looking forward to it!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
