We had big plans for the week but the weather had other plans. We had planned a day trip with my parents to a water park, originally for Tuesday, they called for thunderstorms. We pushed it back till Wednesday. Did it rain Tuesday? Yes it did, for all of 30mins at 5:15pm??? We missed out on a beautiful day that could have been.
Wednesday morning we get up, I almost though we over slept...into fall! It was 18 degrees with 30km wind...not ideal for a day at the water park. Plan B...movies...well the drive in (thankfully we have one right down the road from our house). So packed our blankets, and snacks and headed out at 9pm (great timing with a 3 yr old!!!). We watched Dispicaple Me 2 (great family movie) and didn't stick around for the second film. Nathan was still awake (11:15pm) and it was so cold and damp.
Today the older boys had their dentist appointments (no cavities!!!!) and then I had to pick Nathan up at my parents (he decided after the movie he was having a sleep over at Grandma house?!?!)
So my plan this afternoon was....pack for our camping trip, grab groceries and then soccer!
Well we're packed, groceries will now be purchased on our way out of town and soccer went amazing!
We had our respite worker for Alex and Nathan today, so I actually got to sit and watch soccer tonight (my parents came too see as they were in holidays this week).
This is the first game I have seen since soccer camp! WOW is all I can say!!! Dalton has improved sooooo much, he was good before but you could tell he was new at playing...now he's keeping up with the pros (well as pro as 8 yr olds can be), he makings great passes, stops, and even almost scored his first goal!!!!
He has the confidence back that his winter coach had given him (he's even played goal the last 2 games)
I'm sure I have mentioned before that our coach (well volunteer), is only coaching cause they almost cancelled our age group do to lack if coaches. He isn't organized, barely cheers the kids on and well he does make it most weeks just as the games start.
Tonight even he was telling Dalton how good he was doing and how much he's improved. Dalton played on the first line (with the good players) the entire game.
So tomorrow we head out for a weekend full of camping! Myself and the boys, my best friend (its seems weird to just call her that as I normally just call her my niece but that's for a whole nother post), her hubby and 3 kids. Yep, 6 kids under the age of 11 (11,8,7,5,3,2).
I'm supper excited that Alex actually choose to join us (normally he will try and get out of it or whine he doesn't want to go). I gave him the option, secretly hoping he would come!!!
For 48 hours we will be Internet, cell, computer, tv, phone free....and I can't wait!!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
