Saturday morning started off like usual. I went for a nice long walk, went and got coffee, made breakfast and fed Lauren and about 10 minutes before the timer went off signaling breakfast was ready I heard Dustin ask if he could help. Man, he's got great timing.
After breakfast I screamed at Josh to stop teasing the dog with his toy. He didn't listen; Mattie retaliated with a scratch to his eyelid.
The fact that she hasn't mauled that child is far beyond me. The other night we were reading a book together and I told him to stop shaking the bed. I moved the book and realized he was kicking her head over and over and she was just laying there. So as black and blue as his eye is right now, he deserves much worse.
After breakfast we all get showered and ready for Josh's debut at football. Imagine the 2006 Preschool Christmas program...except outdoors.
He started out fine. They got all the boys in a big huddle and passed out a sheet listing important dates for parents. As he walked towards me with the piece of paper I could tell it was going to go down hill fast.
I made him sit with Dustin on the sidelines since he wasn't going to join in the activity. And we WILL be returning every practice until it's over. Dustin gave up watching the Iowa vs. Iowa State game in order to watch his son play. And as it turns out...he didn't really miss much.
Saturday night was church. All I can say is that Josh picked out the pew and we were three rows from the front. The next closest congregant was four rows back and Lauren kept "talking" through church which meant that Josh couldn't stop laughing. Yes, we put on quite a show.
Sunday morning was Chase's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. The party was absolute mayhem. Chase, Harrison and Josh all go to the same daycare and preschool. I take the three boys to school every Tuesday and Thursday. I only have them for about 20 minutes but every time I drop them off I thank God there are people like Jaime who have the patience and self-control to watch them.
Lauren's thinking..."GET...ME...OUT OF HERE!!!!"
Jaime is in the denim jacket. She is our angel of a daycare provider. Then from left to right in the back is Josh, Harrison and the birthday boy, Chase.
As if we hadn't had enough punishment for the weekend we all went to the mall for a few hours, came home and started to clean.
I'm telling you, it's weekends like these that make me glad to go back to work on Monday.
Tonight Lauren and I were playing and I FINALLY caught her giggle on video.
Enjoy!
