Weekend Wrap Up

Our weekend was pretty much about volleyball and trying to get Carson healthy. Darrin's parents spent the night with us on Friday. They took Miles to the game and I stayed home with Carson. He definitely wasn't up to going especially since the game didn't start until 7pm. 

They won in three sets!

One Miles' baseball friends and classmates came to the game with his family. Miles must have been really excited to have him there b/c he sat with him instead of sitting on the bench with Darrin.

Carson wasn't excited about Granny, Pa, and Miles leaving without him to go to the game, so I bribed him with popcorn. 

He had never seen the air popper before. Miles got it for Christmas years ago and it's always been a hit. He has the best facial expressions.

Carson loved it! I think he liked the actually popping more so than the popcorn. When it finished popping he said, "Do it again!" Pure joy!

It was a perfect bribe and then we watched the game online and ate popcorn. He actually watched Paw Patrol in the sun room while I watched the game in the living room. It was a smooth night which always makes me happy.

On Saturday, Darrin has to go to work pretty early on gamedays. He usually has recruits in town that he has to meet with or eat breakfast with their families. Granny & Pa were nice enough to watch the boys so I could work out and run a quick errand. I came home to find them practicing baseball.

Miles would pitch and then Carson would throw one to Pa. It was a little frustrating for Miles to share time, but Carson was quite cooperative and Miles was happy to be throwing with Pa. The weather was beautiful outside. I'm so happy that fall is finally here.

The girls won again on Saturday and improved to 6-1. It has been a great start to the season, which has us excited and consumed with volleyball around here. Some seasons you can't wait for them to end, but this one has us hopeful and soaking it up. We have some key seniors, but for the most part we are very young, so the future looks bright.

Carson felt good enough for us to go on Saturday. With it being a day game, that made all the difference. Since volleyball is best 3 out of 5, the games can last anywhere from 1:15 to 2:30. Thankfully the girls won in three and we were out of there in 1:15. Carson has been surprisingly good at both games he has been too. That is very nice especially since he is adamantly opposed to babysitters right now. 

Only three days left in this work week and then we get another weekend!
