Extreme weekend fun

It was an EXTREME weekend--- Maddie and William played soccer games in extreme heat on Saturday (1:30 and 2:00!). We went to Grandma's immediately following for some extreme swimming and on Sunday, we did some back-to-back, extreme birthday partying! It was a great weekend.

Super Soccer Saturday!

It was the start of Soccer Season in our household this weekend. Both Maddie AND William are playing this fall and first games were Saturday. Luckily, the times did not coincide so we didn't miss a beat. Maddie is on an awesome U8 team called the Green Glowsticks. They are a great group of girls,  parents and coaches. They had an exciting and super fun first game winning 4-3 over the Blue Tidalwaves! You should have seen me jumping and cheering! Maddie is really getting good and Defense seems to be her specialty. Nothing gets past her and she can sure set up a play!

William is on a great team as well. He is playing his first season ever on the clinic team the Golden Eagles (of which I am the "Team  Coordinator" for). It was SO much fun to see him out there running all over the field after that ball. He definitely has the natural athletic abilities needed for soccer- aggression, endurance and a BIG kick!! Mike and I had SO much fun watching them and Grandmacita and Papa were there for both games too. Despite the HOT, humid day, it was such fun. 

Celebrating a goal!

Labor Day Weekend Sleepover

While Mike was off drinking Guinness and galavanting around Dublin, the kids and I stayed busy with friends to occupy our time until we picked him up from the airport Sunday night. Sarah was kind enough to welcome my self-invite up to her neck of the woods on Saturday for a sleepover! 

Erin and her adorable kiddos joined us as well. We actually took over Ken and Bonnie's beautiful home for the evening as they were out of town. The kids swam their hearts out and late afternoon swimming turned into night swimming before we knew it. We munched on spinach artichoke dip, pizza, a few adult beverages and chatted for hours. Such fun. It was SO great to see my best-est friends and SO great for my kids to play with their kids. I just love that they are all friends too! Thanks for a great night Sarah and please tell your Mom and Dad thank you too for letting us enjoy their home!
