Soccer Firsts
We had a soccer filled morning this morning. Tommy's game was at 8:00 and he scored his first goal. He was so excited. His team won. Then we had Michael and Amy's first game at 10:30. Michael scored his first goal. He was so excited too. Amy was so cute out there with a huge grin and little pig-tails. I brought the camera, but the battery had died. That's not a first for me. Next week I'll take pictures of the games.

Fall Break 2012
Yes, we did take time off from school. All kids need a break. I loved this Fall Break. We didn't do anything glamorous or spectacular. We did spend some good time with friends and just at home with each other. Steve was out of town the whole week. He had a conference in Washington D.C..
Monday we cleaned the house and went swimming at our friends house along with five other families. I love seeing the kids running around and being kids. Alexis and her friend talked and looked at cookbooks. The boys turned were crazy boys running around having a blast. Amy made a new friend, who we invited over for that afternoon.
Tuesday we had a Pride and Prejudice day. We had a few friends over to watch the wonderful six hour long A&E version. So fun. Then we took Tommy to soccer practice, ran to Del Taco, and went to meet a group of friends at the drive-in movie theater. That was not my favorite way to watch a movie, but it was cheap and the kids liked it. I don't think I'd recommend the movie to anyone. Hotel Transylvania.
Wednesday we were out of the house all day. We went to see grandma. Then we went to the mall, I needed to pick something up. Then we went to the library. Then we decided to go to lunch. I was a little apprehensive about taking all six kids out to eat without another adult to help. Alexis was a great help. We went to Pugzies because we were right there and they have a GF option for Tommy. We opted to sit out on the patio, so we wouldn't disturb anyone. It was one of the longest lunches we've had. It was nice too not be in a hurry. We just sat and ate and talked. I think we were there for an hour. The kids were calm and good. It was one of my favorite days.
Thursday we chose to have a stay home and clean the house day. Unfortunately that only works if everyone is excited about cleaning, and kids take good naps and no one cries. I filled a GF free order. Michael became a vampire who is afraid of the sun. He didn't want to turn to ash. We did lots of laundry. Tommy and Michael and Amy all had soccer at the same time. I took Tom to his and Steve's mom stayed with Michael and Amy at theirs. Steve arrived home from D.C. five hours early. I was so happy to see him, but wished I still had five more hours to work on the house before he came home. He brought lots of gifts from vendors at the conference. Everyone has a yo-yo now. I have a new water bottle. Tommy had a "late over" with a friend and came home at 11:00.
Friday, who knows what today will bring? The weather is cooler out, so maybe we'll play at the park later.
I love being a mom. And I really love homeschooling.
