This was another week full of blessings… Monday was Labor Day, we ate Mexican food at mom and dad’s house. It was delicious! Matt and I did a little shopping during the day too. I did my time travel Tuesday post all about Monday! Tuesday all the kiddos were back in school, including Izzy… who has been a little stuffy this week. She made it to school all week and was a trooper. Wednesday I got to meet Rachel, a fellow blogger. It was so neat meeting her and her family. Thursday was the day that Emelia surprised us with a full agenda. I had just pulled in earlier from picking Amanda and Izzy up and told Amanda, “tonight will be great, no plans!” and at 5:15 pm Emelia told us she had a honor choir try out and two softball games! Honestly, I enjoyed the games. I joked about softball not being a real sport like basketball. Truth is I just don’t take little kids sports as seriously as some. I believe they are for fun, learning to work as a team, being a good sport, exercise… a little bit of healthy competitiveness is fine, just as long as we don’t get ‘crazy!’ Matt and I sat on the bleachers and enjoyed a beautiful late Summer night, the breeze was almost cool. Friday we raced to see bear, home for a quick lunch and then off to school. Another busy day for miss Isabelle! (and her chauffeur!). Saturday we stayed home - ALL DAY! That was first in a long time. I got to visit with CoachJ on the phone.
