An Evening In My Crazy Busy Life!

Well, it's Friday! Time for a weekly update! It has been a busy busy week! Every night we have had something to do! Monday and Wednesday was football practice, Tuesday was Jason's softball game, and Thursday was just plain busy! Thursday we went to Family Fun Night at Andy's school, then my softball game and then Jay's softball game. Lots of activities, but it was a fun filled night!

What to talk about first! Let's see....football practice is going great for Andy! He gets so excited about playing. I know Jason is in Heaven! Our game tomorrow is at 10am. My family is coming out to watch. Have I mentioned lately how lucky I am to have such great parents! And my sister and Uncle!

Next up, Jason's softball games. I love to watch him play! And he is on a really good team this year. I now totally understand why Jason stays at the fields for so long after the games. It is actually a lot of fun. I have a great time talking to Lucy and Caroline while Jason is getting his boy time! My point is I get it! But don't tell him that!

So, last night I took the kids to Family Fun Night at Andy's school. It was really just a sneaky way to bulk up PTA memberships! But the kids had a lot of fun. It cost us $11 to get in and that included unlimited games, hot dogs, drinks, popcorn, and cotton candy. I think their favorite activity was the bounce house. Katie didn't want to get out when time was up! The kids also got temporary tatoos while we were there (this will be important in a few minutes). Andy got a tiger on his arm and Katie got a butterfly on her arm. After all that fun, it was time to head to my softball game.

So, I never claimed to be great at softball. I just go out there to have a good time! This is why they put me out in right field! Apparently the other team figured that out last night. There must have been a target on my head because they hit ALL the balls in my direction! I tried really hard, but like I said I am no professional! I have NEVER worked so hard in a softball game! Yes, I had a blast! AND, my family came out to watch me: myMom, my Dad,and my favorite Uncle in the whole world. On top of that, a very good friend of mine was at the game too! It was greatness! I am so blessed to have such a supportive family and friends! Oh, and yes we lost :( After the game, my Mom brings Katie to me at the dugout. Katie is crying her eyes out! She is absolutely devastated because her butterfly FLEW away. (Remember the tatoos they got on their arms...). The only thing that kept me from laughing hysterically was the total devestation on her face :(

Next, it was time to dash off to Jay's game. We got there about halfway through. Thursday night is a good night to watch Jay play ball. The team is good! We did spend some time socializing in the parking lot after the game, but headed home at a decent hour.
So, all that was in one evening! Not all of our nights are that crazy, but we always seem to be going somewhere! Last night there was a little something for everyone. And there was a great mix of family and friends to compliment the evening! I am exhausted, but it is all well worth it! There is nothing that can ever replace family time, or be as fulfilling! And when you add good friends to the mix.....i do know how truly blessed I am!

AND...hold on to your hat!!!! It has been a drama free week! It doesn't get much better. I wonder how long it will be before someone runs their mouth and ruins it? Oh well, i am sticking to my plan from my original post! Life without drama is so much more fun!
