Boosterthon Fun Run

So today was CRAZY! It never seems to fail that on Run I am wild with things to do. 
I dropped the boys off and then headed to Morris Avenue.  A family in my neighborhood wanted some family pictures and some pictures of their youngest son who was one today!  Happy Birthday Luke. 
After this session I headed to Temple Beth-el to take some family pictures for a family whose middle son will be having his barmitzha tomorrow.  I am 31 and I do not guess I have ever been in a Jewish temple, but it was definitely my loss.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  There is so much tradition and history and beauty inside the doors.  This was definitely a blessing for me.

After this I hauled rear end to the school to get there before Danny's fun run.  He was running from 12:30 - 1:30 and John Michael was running after him from 1:30 - 2:30.  I made it!  I love the fun run, it is really a great time and I think that every parent should go at least one time. 

After the run I headed to the gym to get ready for ASC.  No sooner than I walked in the doors I got a call from the office.  Danny was sick.  Of course I found out that they ate 20 minutes later did the fun run and then had a pizza party.  I probably would have been sick too.  Non the less I went on and checked him and John Michael out and we went home to relax and hopefully feel better.

John Michael had to get ready for his soccer game at 7:30, which is really late.  They evidentally were having a festival, but there was no food left for the last games.  Go figure.  This whole BUSA experience has been a serious JOKE!!!!  John Michael did get the game ball, he was so excited and we were so proud of him!

Soccer and Popcorn

Today started early with John Michael's soccer game.  We had to park in the other parking lot again, which still sucks.  I really hope that St. Francis gets out of this league soon.  We were playing the other 1st grade St. Francis team.  They spanked us, but it is all good.  All of the boys had such a good time.  It was definitely the Iron Bowl of first grade because all of the boys have been doing some serious smack talking.  I am loving soccer, but again I will be glad we were are onto something else.  I think I am experiencing some serious burn out.  It will pass though and basketball will begin which I am super excited about.  I love basketball and so do the boys.

We came home to watch the Auburn Arkansas game.  Auburn was not the same team that came out against LSU.  I hate to see them having such a hard time coming together.  I love my Auburn Tigers and always will.  WAR EAGLE! 

We were able to sell popcorn at the Masses again this weekend which was awesome since we had so much still to get rid of.  We went to work Saturday night, which was nice but it was COLD!  We did not do as well as we did the first weekend back in September, but we did pretty good so no complaints, and really anything is better than nothing at all which is what we were up against.

Two Directions

To me one of the hardest things about being a mom is when you have to take one to do something and your husband has to take the other.  I do not like missing things that my children are involved in but sometimes it cannot be helped.
This morning John Michael, socky Monkey, and I headed to the soccer field.  John Michael wanted Sock Monkey to watch.  So I figured why not.

Again we were at Brookwood forrest, and again my opinion of BUSA has not changed.  We did use the parking lot that Craig and Liz told us about, but the fact that there are no refs is something that is VERY frustrating for me.  We were playing The Highlands, and let me tell you for a Church that so many people follow they teach these children to play ugly soccer, and there is no sportsmanship.  I guess they do not practice what they preach.  Anyway, we ended up finishing the game with a tie, which is great.  Our guys are playing there hardest and they are really learning a lot about soccer.

Danny and Brandon went to the Southern Flight Museum with the Scouts.  We had a pretty good turnout from what Brandon said and the boys had a lot of fun.  Danny made a Blue Angel plane, which was awesome.  He and Brandon also brought home some little planes and some bomb bags that look like they are going to be a lot of fun.  They had a great time and I was so glad.  They went to lunch when they were done, which was special for them and something that theyboth probably needed.  Danny wanted Jack's and then they surprised us all with milkshakes.
