I had a doctor’s appointment today so Ben was staying home with Wade. Wade had a few important phone calls so I helped set Ben up with a TV show before I left. He was adamant that he needed his “friends” and arranged them so that everything was ready. Then he requested a picture and how could I say no? (I’m going to let you guess what TV show he wanted.)
Wade and I spent the morning together at the high school watching Alex and Kaitlyn play lacrosse. This is only the second time they have played at the same time at the same location, but it is so nice for us. We get to leave the two other boys at home, sit together, and watch both kids play. It definitely makes our mornings more enjoyable. The weather this week was significantly nicer than last week too! (No wind or freezing temperatures.)
Then we had a few hours down time before it was off to Kaitlyn’s soccer game.
Finally an awesome soccer day. The weather was perfect. Ben got to take his new soccer ball. He seemed to stay engaged and enjoy all the games (except that he did not get picked to be a ghost in the last game). After soccer, we stayed and played on the playground with most of the other kids for a few hours. It was a fabulous day.
Wade and I laughed at the sports schedule for today. We have two lacrosse games (schedule for right during church) and a soccer game in the late afternoon. The only good part was that for the first time the lacrosse games were at the same time and at the same place so Wade and I got to both see Alex and Kaitlyn play and we got to sit together. We watched Kaitlyn’s first half and Alex’s second half. The kids (or rather the leagues) surprised the moms and resented flowers at half-time. Due to the number of games, I had quite the bouquet by the end of the day.
