I started the day by running to get our fruits and veggies from the co-op. The basket was wonderful this week!! We got a ton of stuff for $15. After that quick trip, it was back home to grab the fam and head to soccer pics and game for L. We got there a bit late (thanks Daddy Piper!) so L and I took off for the spot where the pics where last week - no one was there! They were up front right where we walked by : -) Daddy Piper unloaded the boys and we met them on the playground. It turned out to be a windier day then I anticipated so Daddy Piper headed back home to get coats. The kids played on the playground until it was time for L's game to start. The game was okay - L's team got out played every time they turned around. L isn't the most athletic (I think she gets that from me - okay I KNOW she gets it from me!) so she isn't the most athletic but she has so much fun out there. It is fun to watch her play! S did a great job hanging out on the sidelines. He even took part in cheering her on. I can't wait for his soccer to start so he can be the focus of the attention sometimes too. The game was over and the parent that was supposed to bring snacks forgot and this just devastated L. We had to run to Target and get a b-day card so I promised Icee's and popcorn. Thankfully that dried her tears pretty quickly. After spending $60 on 4 things at Target, it was time to head home to get ready for our afternoon adventure.
Riding the wagon down to my aunt's house.
We loaded the wagon up with all our chitlens and headed down the road to my aunt's house. My grandmother will celebrate her 80th birthday on Tuesday so we attended a family reunion of sorts to celebrate with her this afternoon. I dreaded it all week long but it turned out okay. I am just not close to most of my extended family for some reason. The party was fine though. Fortunately my sister came down for it. I love seeing my sister. It was nice to hang out with her. The kids had fun playing (with each other and another little girl my sis's MIL babysits). We headed home about 2 for naps. My sister came down shortly after to hang out for awhile before heading home. My sister pretty much raised me from birth on. I love her so much. We haven't been as close lately due to what I don't know other than just not enough time but things are so much better now. So her and I are planning a trip to Vegas for my 30th and her 40th this year. Daddy Piper seems okay with it. Even if he's not okay with my trip to MO in April : -) Anyway my sis headed home about 4. S woke up from his nap (crabby as usual - can that kid ever wake up happy?!). We loaded all 3 in the van and went out into an empty field to fly kites for awhile. HOW FUN! It was a bit chilly but in the end, it was nice family time! Now as I type this, I hear Daddy putting a puzzle together with S and L trying to butt in with her 2 cents!!!!!
Daddy and S flying the Elmo kite.
L is helping S with his kite.
The kite got away from me and Daddy Piper chased it down.
He almost has it...
He caught it!!
