Last week, everyone (including me) started freaking out because we were going to get some real snow, like a real “snow event” they like to call it. Because nobody wanted a repeat of snowpocalypse 2014, we shut it down and had a bona fide snow day, which turned out to be a cold rain day and 5 minutes of snow right before bedtime, oh my gosh, we’re going to kill each other day.
We had cousins over, watched movies, colored, worked (well, Nick worked), played, ate, talked, built a fire, then we had about 8 hours left in the day with nothing to do. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it did seem like a looooong day, probably because we kept anticipating snow, and it never really came.
Snow… At bedtime, like a cruel joke.
As if that weren’t eventful enough, we had cousin A’s birthday party at a trampoline place on Friday night and Z’s first soccer game on Sunday.
The party was so fun, and a little crazy. Z was like a mexican jumping bean!
He’s so light that he just flew, by the way, this is double bouncing, and it is against the rules… #dadoftheyear
The birthday girl, seriously rocked it! By the way, how is she 9?
Thankfully, Lu did not participate in the jumping, but she was an excellent spectator.
Uncle Faris was in town, so we had some photo ops before the party on Friday.
Speaking of Uncle Faris, he spent 2 hours building a very complicated Lego Star Wars aircraft with Z on Friday, made Z a happy kid!
Saturday, we worked out, visited with my parents, and Nick and Z got his soccer gear while Lu and I shopped for home stuff. Then, we met up at Home Goods for a snack. They love to sit carts like this. Lu in the little part and Z in the big part.
It was so pretty outside, we had to play just a little before naptime.
They gravitated toward this weird bunny thing that “came with” our house. Ignore our sketchy fence. We’ll get to it in time.
Rode bikes and cars, and shot some hoops
Sunday, we hit the soccer field! Z really got into it this time. Not only did he score a few goals, but he also played a little defense, and at one point tried to be a goalie, which is totally against the rules, but hilarious! He also kept score, so not like him, but he really had the BEST time!
Lu was the perfect cheerleader and a far cry from how she behaved last year during soccer, spoiler alert, it wasn’t pretty.
She was having fun running back and forth from Nick to me.
This is what they do when I tell them to pose and smile.
They were SET on getting Kona, and it’s all over my car now, but they were happy, so there’s that.
Perfect weekend, and I can’t wait for more soccer (and kona)!
