Weekend in Review

I know it is basically the weekend again but we did soo much last weekend that I wanted to document. I had a 4-day weekend and everyone else had a 3-day weekend. Friday I got in a training run with my sister and then later that morning I met her at the library for storytime with Aspen and Nora. They were funny and we got lots of books for Everly to read. Everly had her first soccer tournament Friday night. They kind of got killed but I think it was a good experience for her. She still needs to work on being more aggressive. Saturday morning I got in a quick hike in the morning and was rewarded with a trail full of caterpillars. It was crazy! Saturday was also a Home Depot Day and the project this month was a pencil box. Last August we made a skateboard pencil box at Home Depot and accidentally glued it shut so we could never use it (see here). We did much better this year and have two cute functioning pencil boxes! Later that afternoon we went to my sister-in-laws house to visit with Remi before he had to go back home to Missouri to live with his Dad. The girls are sure going to miss Remi! Saturday night I went to my first Phoenix Rising game with one of my girlfriends that I play soccer with. It was actually a lot of fun and pretty cheap so I hope we can go back again. Sunday morning I got in a workout and picked up the groceries before meeting my sister and her boyfriend with Teddy at Dave & Buster's. I had some gift cards I wanted to use and the kids had a blast and walked away with a bunch of prizes. That night we had subs and went swimming out at my sister's pool but we were all sooo tired. Monday morning my sister and I ran another 6 miles before taking the kids to the zoo. It was soo hot and there were a ton of bees at the zoo so it gave me a lot of anxiety but the kids had a blast. I was ready to get out of there and after leaving there we headed straight to the dealership to pick up my new car!!!!! I'm totally boring but I got another Prius and I love it. It is shiny and new and I got it at the price I wanted (thanks to a Toyota family discount from my Dad) so I can't complain. We went straight from there to meeting my niece and sister-in-law for lunch. After that weekend, I needed a nap and you know I took it. See what I mean by having a crazy busy weekend?!?

I ran 6 miles and earned my first pumpkin spice of the season!

this girl is nuuuuuts.

You know what, they are both nuts.

Aspen and I on the sideline watching Ev in her first tournament.

I hope she had fun.

Kim was the baby whisperer out at the fields that night. She had bubbles and the kids flocked to her.

I had to watch out not to step on the caterpillars because there were soooo many!

It works!!!

Aspen on her bread phone

Cam is cute even with the booger hanging out of his nose.

Aspen was scared to do this until she saw her sister do it.

they were clearly not bothered with the bees like I was.

 

  

Carousel fun!

Best way to end a long weekend is with a sparkly new car!!!
