Adventures of Two Sisters, One Brother, and a Mom: Our Dogwood Adventures....

I am finally posting some photos from our weekend. We definitely had a great weekend--- lots of fun with friends, family and festivals. Oh yeah, and soccer. :) Always soccer! :) I am really starting to feel like a real Soccer Mom... is that good or bad??? I guess that depends on who you ask!:)

Friday night, Sheila joined the kids and I for "Movie Night" at the elementary school. This month we watched Tale of Despereaux... It was a very cute movie-- although Sheila had to explain the story line to me a couple of times---- guess I am easily distracted. Also I spent quite a bit of time going back and forth to get food for my "little slave masters". Despite my confusion, it was a very fun night!!

On Saturday, Theresa came to spend the weekend and help me in the yard--- and I desperately need help!!! What a mess!! I took D and Big A to their soccer game at 11:20, then we attempted to go to The Dogwood Festival. It took forever to find a place to park, and by the time we got into the park, the kids were complaining about being tired. We just walked around for a bit and then headed back home.... In the evening, Sheila and I went back to the park to attend a little birthday party. Of course, by the time we got there the party was over... but we did join some of the party guests for dinner and margaritas at nearby restaurant.... Lots of margaritas-- too many. I had quite the hangover on Sunday! :) But it was very fun. I really liked her friends.

Sunday was cloudy and drizzly in the am, but we went back to the Dogwood Festival anyway. It actually turned out to be a good day for it--- the crowd was much smaller at the park. The kids had a good time. It was a pretty laid back day. The kids were happy to get to spend some time with Theresa too. In the afternoon, we all went to Little A's soccer game. Seems like sports are taking over my life these days... I don't mind though--- Little A sure was cute out there on the field! :) I have to brag the she scored 3 goals! She enjoyed playing this time---normally she just wants to sit on the sidelines and complain about being hungry.

All in all, I have to say that I'm pretty happy these days. Things are looking up. :)
