This has been a fun weekend so far. Yesturday Sammy and I had Jen, Gabriel, Ella, Arianna over for a pizza dinner and the kids played dress up and sword fighting over here at our house . Then Samuel and Gabriel and I went to Samuel's basketball practice then back to Rachel's for her Sothern Living Party. Then Samuel and I camped out with Rachel, Peter and Liam on her living room floor for a movie (Kungfu Panda) sleepover. It was such a blast and then this morning we watched cartoons then went to Samuel's B-ball game with grandma and grandpa. Then grandma and grandpa came over for doughnuts and coffee!

Then today it was off to Jen's for movie day and playing with the kids. The kids were all playing karate from watching KungFu Panda!

Samuel had so much fun he said it was the best day ever!

Basketball Season Begins

Samuel started basketball this week. He was so amazing at his first practice he was really alert and hussled to cover the other players. He looks like a pro. He has such natural athletic ability for any sport he does! He is so amazing I am so proud of him! He had his first game on Saturday. He seems to really enjoy basketball. Pop-pop and Grandma came to his game with me and Grandma and Liam came to Samuel's practice with me. Liam was so excited to see Samuel play he kept calling out to him and pointing at Sammuel -he was so excited!

Just another manic monday...... wish it was Sunday!!!!

Today was a typical Monday......busy busy busy. Samuel bounded into my room around 6 am. We both had busy days at school. Today was Library day for Samuel -his least favorite special and he proceeded to tell me about 5 times today. We had a down time for 30 minutes after Sammy got off the bus where we played "The Story" card game and then got his 50 pages of homework out of the way....ha ha not quite 50 pages! Then it was off to Karate.....where Samuel practiced his "Knife move " and earned a black stripe on his white belt. Then home to a quick dinner of chicken nuggets, salad and carrots. And for dessert some fresh baked sugar cookies. Then we played some video games and then up to bed where I read sammy Scooby Doo and the Monster Leaves. He fell right to sleep! Now I am watching "The Worst Week Ever" and now doing MY homework! Just another typical mon.....day....
