Weekend Fun

Last weekend was Labor Day Weekend

And it already seems like it was forever ago

I haven't posted much this week

Our time just seems so busy

And really it's not

We are home alot doing nothing

But with 3 little ACTIVE ones

It's hard to sit at the computer

or wash your hair

or do laundry

Hey

Some of that I don't mind

Anyway...

last week Mark went to Dallas for his 

2nd 

fantasy football draft

(He better win something from all this)

He picked this little bench up for me 

I had been wanting it for my entry way

And it is the perfect little spot for our

library book basket

Over the holiday weekend we didn't do much

Some yard work and messing around the house

On Labor Day

we drove to Brick Town in OKC

just exploring a bit

There is a cute little River Walk

much smaller than San Antonio

But I am sure at night it is much livelier

But it was a fun morning stroll

Connor also had his first soccer practice that evening

I stayed home with Christian and his fever

That baby boy....

During this week we had some crazy rain

But one morning we went to the zoo

It was still drizzling a little

so we had the place to ourselves

We sat down to eat our picnic lunch we brought

and this little fellow dang near attacked us

He even took Christian's spoon

A lady working a near by snack stand fed him a hot dog bun

trying to get him away from us

He kept coming back

While there, we, of course, checked on Big Mamma the Gorilla

They had them inside that day

Then I remember seeing on the news that there was a 

"near escape"

the previous week

That had happened in Dallas a year or two before

Crazy monkeys!

This weekend Mark and I had a date

The YMCA had parents night out on Friday

So we took the boys

It's cheaper than a sitter

We went to a little restaurant right across the street

One of neighbors recommended it

And I mean little

maybe a dozen tables

MAYBE

It is called

Signature Grille

The hubs is the chef

and the wife runs the front

I thought it was great

A bit pricey

But will be a nice place for special occasions

One of those places where everyone knows each other

However

Saturday we paid the price for our little rendezvous

Not with hangover

but TIRED boys

Everyone was up late

10pm late

which might as well be an all nighter by our standards

Plus no naps had been had on Friday

And with Connor's first soccer game at 1pm

No naps would be had on Saturday either

Well

Connor snuck one in

on the way to his game

Never a good sign if they fall asleep on the way to the game

There is Connor on the right

And yes they are all 4

I know Connor is little

But those kids are on ROIDS 

just sayin'

They won!

(I think)

How could they not with the giants on the team

And played much better than I thought a bunch of 4 year olds would

And as we stood out in the middle of 10 fields

watching our oldest child

I almost cried

I so vividly remember rocking and nursing him

And now I am watching him run up and down the field chasing a ball

And so begins a new chapter

in our

Life with Boys

SPORTS

And I think I'm gonna 

LOVE IT

And I have to say

my little man is so little

How little you ask?

He is so little that I hope he doesn't run out of his shoes

They start making cleats at a size 10

Connor is a 9

barely

And the little ones had fun watching too

Ok so Colton was more interested in games on the phone

not the field

But he was tired folks

And pant-less

He is potty training

And don't you know

Minutes after finding the right field

I see  the little stream of yellow running down his leg

So I stuck him in the back up diaper I had

Unfortunately I did not have back up shorts

Tomorrow is his first day of school

Praise You 

Jesus
