our saturday started off with a brisk soccer game. each game, the refs ask kids to stand in the 3 doorways of the gym to block the doorway so the balls don't get past. this saturday was the first time they'd asked addie to do it, and she was so excited to be a big girl helper!
the games are only 20 minutes, but there she is in the far right door back there, so far away from mama. this game was more of the same for our little soccer player. she sat out until she was put in as goalie, and then she played part of the game. we are happy she keeps trying!
after the game we headed to bj's to try out our super new bj's membership. so far, so fun.
saturday afternoon brought with it an ice storm. we braved the ice though, because one of our favorite 5-year-olds had a birthday party in waldorf. curtis had his party at pump it up and it was so fun! so fun that i didn't think to take any pictures till we were lining up to eat birthday brownies. the grown ups played and jumped and raced as much as the kids did. it was great!
and so was the celebration!
yummmmm!
the 6-year-old (learning to smile for pictures) agrees!
they had an inflatable thrown for curtis to sit on while he opened his presents. after he finished with the thrown, laney and kale had to try it out.
yup, it's good.
after the party this whole crew invaded the cafe rio. it was delicious, but i couldn't help feeling bad for the workers. that's a whole lot of kids to clean up after, and they were trying to close early because of the bad weather. oh well, i've been there and cleaned up after my fair share of kids, it happens. we drove home slow and easy and it was a great and fun day. :)
sunday morning was icy too, but we got to church safely and it was nice to be with my little class again. we had stake conference, an early church dismissal because of a gas smell, and then two sick weeks, so i haven't seen my class in a long time.
after church we went over to robin's house for roni's party. all these babies that we've known since birth are all turning 5 and it's so fun! they had some celebrities there! they rented these two from a superheros group that volunteers and performs for the fee of a donation to a childrens hospital. i love that! our elsa was only 13 too, i love that too. and olaf was her dad. :)
laney was noooot feeling the olaf. she's mad dogging him here. (and i love christian's face!)
the girls had fun playing games and visiting.
frankie wasn't feeling the olaf either.
even when he asked her for a warm hug.
addie took him up on the invitation though!
so then frankie decided it was okay.
as soon as she hugged him she came to me and said "he's not real!" not sure what gave it away, but nothing gets past frankie. ;)
laney was so funny. she's just (generally) friendly and talkative. she loved sammy (the dog) and sat talking to robin for a very long time. "do you have a mommy dog too? i don't have a mommy dog or a baby dog. but i have a guinea pig! do you have a guinea pig? i do, and his name is pipsqueak! we had another one, but he died. his name was magic. you have brown eyes, just like me! and my mommy has blue eyes. but you and me have brown eyes. i like your bracelet. i don't have a bracelet..." and on, and on, and on. girlfriend has the gift of gab!
silly 6-year-olds think it's funny to pin olaf's nose as far away from the real nose as she can. :)
and then frankie pinned it right on his nose. i'm thinking they could see. :)
group pictures!
and silly faces! we used to see robin every day, and now we haven't seen her for months, so it was nice to catch up with her.
after the party we came home and christian ironed his scout shirt, searched for a neckerchief, didn't find one, sent out some texts, picked one up from our awesome neighbors, and we took some eagle coh invitation pics. we'll be sending these out soon, so this is the only sneak peek i'll post for now.
matt bathed the girls and made dinner! early in our marriage we decided daddy would make sunday dinner. and then... it just never really happened. not because of matt, or me, it just never materialized. i am looking forward to that finally happening! after we got the girls to bed we sat on the couch and ate a whole box of girl scout cookies (we shared with chris) and watched the beginning of the oscars (which matt and chris both bet me are not the same thing as the academy awards. silly boys!) it was a perfect night!
and on my way up to bed i always check the girls and snap them when they are in weird positions. i loooove sleeping babies. :)
