Weekend Wrap Up

An eye doctor appointment kicked off the weekend. Miles thought he might be struggling to see the board at school. Thankfully, he's still 20/20. She said it might be the fact that he's growing and his eyes are adjusting. We measured him the other day and he's grown an inch. It's easy for me to spot when he's grown because he's so close to my height. He's only 1.5 inches away from me now.

We went to a new eye doctor and she was very nice and thorough. They dilated his eyes, which he did not enjoy! Darrin took him to the appointment before he headed out of town to recruit. Darrin is the best about appointments. Due to his flexible schedule, he carries more than his share of doctors appointments, dentist appointments, hair cuts, etc.

When Darrin is out of town, the boys sleep with me. Since Miles and I both like our own space, and the boys are getting bigger, we decided to set the cot up for Miles to sleep on. Carson slept with me. It was the perfect arrangement. Carson did climb on the cot to snuggle with Miles in the morning.

Miles was putting off teenager vibes on Saturday morning.

Miles had a birthday party for a friend at the same video game place that he had his party at last year. It's a BIG hit with the boys.

From the party, it was straight to a 2.5 hour baseball practice. I got to practice with 30 minutes left and it was cooooold! I wanted to wait in the car, but Carson vetoed that.

I bought Carson a set of new snack cups at Hobby Lobby. They were $2.50. I'm not sure why we spend so much money on toys because he has been overjoyed about these snack cups. They were the first thing that he showed Darrin when he got home today.

It's always a win when getting ready for church is uneventful. I told him he could not watch TV before church and that made all the difference. After getting ready, he played quietly until it was time to leave. 

Carson was so excited when Darrin got home. He was screaming, "I missed you daddy!"

Miles had another birthday party today. This one was at Discovery Park. He had a great time. The birthday boy's parents treated them to such a fun time and even bought them all souvenirs. 

Miles took $20 of his own money and bought two stuffed animals for Carson. He didn't factor in the tax and the mom stepped in to cover him. So nice! Carson was happy with them, but still has a lot to learn about thankfulness and appreciation. This hug was only after we told him too. 

Tonight was a Mexican take-out kind of night while we watched football.

It's been a long weekend. Lots of running around, managing tears and meltdowns, and just mommin in general. Time for a hot bath and then bed time for these kids.
