this weekend

 I feel like this is the weekend I finally caught up on life. Still so much to do, but I think I have my head floating above the water now. And that feels really good.

I work with the scouts in our neighborhood and we went on a lovely hike up in the mountains. I won't deny, I wasn't looking forward to leaving my kids and spending Friday afternoon with a bunch of 9 year olds (it's kind of funny that I have an eight and ten year old in scouts and I got put with the age right between them) But when we were up in the mountains, it was a good place to be.

Friday night we watched Frankenweenie and got a surprise visit from the missionaries. (unfortunately our house was a giant mess, kind of embarrassing.) 

Saturday we wrapped up all boys soccer games for the season. Wahoo! We were in charge of treats for Taylor's game and the whole time I was trying to keep Adeline from attacking the cookies. Eventually I let her have one. :)

We enjoyed the rest of our Saturday celebrating Grandma Morris's birthday. We made her Beef Broccoli, roasted veggies, spinach salad, and apple cake. It was a very happy visit!

Sunday was exactly what we needed. In the late afternoon the boys played out in the the cold and thought it was the greatest ever. They played some adventure game (Corbin was the harvester, Taylor was the hunter, Levi had technology powers, and Rudger was just stinkin cute) and they can't wait to play again during our fall break this weekend!!
