Saturdays are usually the one day of the week with a chance of sleeping in late...but this week Melia and I left to pick up Benny and Danny. Their mom and dad had a busy day at the church, and it appeared they'd need to miss soccer. I suggested we take the boys to soccer and keep them until Arielle could break loose.

This is Danny's first year to play soccer. I stayed with Danny and Melia stayed at the court where Benny was playing. I was impressed with Danny's coach. She had the boys running drills and practicing skills before the game. She was quick to check on each player's "ouchies." One little goalie laid down on the floor and cried when he let a goal roll past him. She handled him so graciously, moved Danny into goal and let him run off his emotions on the court. Danny is the little ginger - or as he says the one with "golden" hair.
He was so excited! Notice the finger in the air? One goal! A good way to start the game!
During his time at goalie not one ball got past him.
Alas, there were no snacks for Danny's team. When Danny's game was done, we made our way over to court 1 to watch the last 15 minutes of Benny's game. This was a much faster game. Both boys' teams won their games. I guess we aren't supposed to notice that fact, but all the boys knew just what the scores were.
We made our way home for lunch, games, gamers and outside play. It was a busy afternoon.
The deck was clear last night...lots of snow Saturday and Sunday.
I fell Monday night getting OUT of the hot tub. No foot ware involved - just hit the icy stairs and slid. Today, I fell face first onto the deck. I WAS wearing boots. Trex is plastic and it's slick when wet!
Arielle picked up the boys, and I continued on with meal prep. We were excited to have Eric and Ingrid over for dinner. They were the family Melia, and her sisters went too when they left their neighborhood in October. We enjoyed a dinner of chowder, bread, salad and fruit and introduced them to "The Bible is Funny." Stacia had made enough progress with her weekend "to do" list that she joined us for the evening too.

Who likes springing forward? Ugh.
Michael preached this morning for CoRielle's church community. We were happy to grab lunch with Stacia after church. She was productive all day. The rest of us grabbed naps. Melia did do 40 minutes of homework she hadn't finished on Friday.
It was a full weekend.
