Weekend Wrap Up

The weekend started with Carson's fieldtrip at a pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day for a field trip.

He didn't have to stay with his class, so we walked around together and floated between friends. There were a lot of moms there, so I got to talk to several friends that I don't get to see often.

It's always a fun time when Tucker is around!

Friday morning, Miles called us from school to tell us that he made the baseball team. He did not make the team as a sixth grader, which was very disappointing for him and hard to watch for us. It proved to be a great motivator for him over the last year. He put in the work and we were happy to celebrate him. Since Carson and I had time after the field trip, we did a little decorating before Miles got home.

Carson was in charge of the confetti cannon, but Darrin had to step in because it was too hard. Miles was nice enough to play along.

Carson did not really understand the moment, but he loves to celebrate anything.

Marmee took Miles out to eat on Saturday, just the two of them. Miles is not a cheap date, but she's always happy to see him eat well. 

Carson has been getting in our bed more lately. When he came to our bed in the middle of the night, I asked him to go to Miles' bed instead. It's not Miles' favorite thing, but every now and then we need a good night's sleep. Miles has a king size bed, so I think they can manage. 

We went to the Titans' game today! This was the only picture with Carson in his jersey. His clothing demands are enough to drive you crazy. Hot, cold, big, small, itchy, tags, you name it. This one happened to pull on his neck. Go figure.

This was the first time for both boys to go to a game. Miles has wanted to go since he was little.

We had great seats and it was a beautiful day.

He got a Kevin Byard jersey in the gift shop and told me at least 5x times how much he loved it.

I was very nervous about Carson. I did not want him to ruin our experience, and honestly, he has to potential to do that. I was afraid he would get bored and whine the whole time about being hungry, hot, tired, bored, and on and on. We did two things to try to ensure a good day. First, we didn't let him drink anything but water. When he drinks anything but water, he has to go to the bathroom excessively. We did not want to be running back and forth. Second, we bought him a stuffed animal at the gift shop to play with during the game. He LOVES stuffed animals and they become his little friends. Both things helped and he was very good during the game! We really couldn't have asked for more from him all day.

We snacked a lot at the game, but didn't really eat, so we stopped on the way home for dinner. 

We drove home looking at a beautiful sky. 

The day went very smoothly and it was so much fun to be there and watch Miles love every minute of it. Back to the grind tomorrow!
