Weekend Wrap Up

Darrin was away recruiting again this weekend. Thankfully he's home now! I feel bad for him because he always comes home to a frazzled me. The boys were pretty good, but as I told Darrin, I don't think I got more than a 5 minute span of alone time. We went to eat dinner with Stephanie on Friday night.  

The boys were good and it was really nice to not have to cook. 

The service was super fast. We were out of there in no time, which was nice after a long work week, but Stephanie and I didn't get to visit that long.

The boys and I made cookies when we got home. They were a good bribe for Carson because he was obsessed with them. If he started acting up, I would just tell him to stop or he wouldn't get the next cookie that I promised him. That might be a new trick when Darrin is gone.

Every night, Carson tells Darrin what he wants for breakfast. Miles used to tell him and now he's passed it on to Carson. Carson's new favorite is eggs because he likes to crack the eggs. I made some for him in the microwave and he said they weren't as good as Daddy's.

Miles had an early morning basketball game. It was the last game of the season and the boys played so well.

There were some set backs with Covid, but I'm thankful that they still got to have a season. 

We are very proud of Miles for making the team and getting significant playing time. 

This was our first school sport experience and it was good! We look forward hopefully to many more seasons to come. 

I had Miles write his coaches notes to thank them for their time this season. He wrote things like "thank you for coaching me", "thank you for giving me and opportunity" and "you are a basketball genius". I was proud of his notes. His coaches put in a lot of time and we are thankful!

Carson was happy to see one of his daycare friends at the game. 

After the game, we stopped by my mom's house to see her fireplace. She recently got it working. It's so pretty and the boys loved seeing it.

We didn't stay long because I felt like I hadn't been home all week, but it's so nice to be able to stop by for a quick visit.

I did laundry and cleaned out random drawers and closets on Saturday, among other things. Carson "helped" all.day.long. 

It was a cold, rainy day and we had nothing else to do, so I let him help even though everything took twice as long.

Miles and I cleaned out his baseball stuff to get ready for the upcoming season. It's only 20 days away. We've payed the dues, bought new cleats, bought a new baseball bag, and I got a new "mom" baseball bag. I think we are ready to go. I am looking forward to hanging out with my friends and watching the boys play.

We went to church this morning and then I taught Miles to make grilled cheese sandwiches. He's knows how to do a lot, but we've not working on cooking. He was excited to learn. 

It was a long weekend with Darrin gone. I enjoyed being home, especially with how cold it was, but I haven't had any "me" time and I really need that to recharge for the work week. My plan is to get everyone to sleep in this house and stay up late watching TV. I just can't go back to work until I've chilled a little. Darrin starts their abbreviated season tomorrow, so it's about to get even busier!
