We kicked off the weekend on the couch while Darrin had a late practice.
Sometimes (most of the time) snuggling on the couch is my favorite way to spend a Friday night. The work weeks are long!
We had an early morning baseball game in Kentucky, which meant leaving the house at 6:30am.
I wish Darrin was playing volleyball on the weekends, but we have loved having him with us at baseball while he can't be playing. The weather was so beautiful this weekend and we really did soak up the family time. Travel ball is strenuous, but it really does allow for a lot of family time that probably wouldn't be unless we were stuck at a baseball field or in a car together.
Carson wanted to take a funny picture of us. Nailed it. He can't help it that Darrin is so tall.
His picture turned out pretty cute. I don't know how we managed two kids that are morning people, but they both wake up ready to go.
The boys didn't play their best on Saturday and didn't finish has high as they wanted on Sunday, but it was such a nice weekend of baseball.
Most of the playgrounds are closed for Covid, which is really frustrating especially since kids are huddled in dugouts and on baseball fields just feet away, but we managed to find one nearby.
Carson enjoys going to baseball tournaments, b/c he loves playing outside, but he still deserves something fun for him in between games. Granny & Pa came to the games, so we got some lunch and ate in the truck while they played.
Carson had fun playing with another baseball brother all weekend long. They dug in the dirt, collected rocks, ate snacks, and played some video games. They were perfectly entertained both days. I left this picnic blanket at the field on Saturday and it wasn't recovered on Sunday. I am so sad! Even though it was $15 from Target, I loved it.
Saturday night, we picked up some BBQ on the way home. It was a 1.5 hour drive one way for two days in a row. We were exhausted at the end of the weekend.
Darrin turned 44 today! We celebrated with cheese dip and a chocolate cookie dessert.
I apologized a couple times b/c his birthday seemed so ordinary. He said that's how it is when it falls on a Monday. That's probably right, but I still hated it. Truth be told I let it sneak up on me and didn't plan very well. Work has me a little exhausted and behind, but thankfully Darrin is gracious and understanding.
The boys were very excited to celebrate Daddy's birthday. Yesterday, Carson said, "I will give you everything you want." He's told him several times that he is going to buy him a "weed heater" and a chain saw. He really, really wants him to have a chain saw like Pa has.
We love you so much, Darrin! You've handled the disappointments from the pandemic like a champ. We have enjoyed spending this time with you. Thanks for being the best husband and dad. Happy birthday!!!
