Friday and Saturday Fun

Time for the weekend!!!!  Lincoln went off to Kindergarten on Friday morning, and Beau got a solo day with Nana and Pops.  They made a few fun stops and had lunch and played a bit before it was time to pick up Lincoln.  Beau and Lincoln had the sweetest "I missed you all day hug" at Bowie!!  They went for frozen yogurt before building giant two story mansions with boxes from Aunt Carolyn's move.  Note the doors, addresses, and mailboxes.  The other side features windows and much more.  Boxes are super fun!!!  We all met up for dinner, and Minnie and Bubbles joined us from Arkansas!
Saturday morning began early at our house.  Daddy met a golf group at 7:45 for an early round of 9, and we were all feeling the sudden cold front. Last Saturday's soccer game was super hot and humid with sweat dripping from kids and parents.  This Saturday's soccer game at 10:00 am had boys in long sleeve under shirts and parents in jackets and pants.  Once the boys got warmed up and ready to play, they were awesome! 
 
Daddy only played 9 holes and arrived at the soccer game to cheer on our team!  It was pretty cool! 
Beau took full advantage of the situation . . . Lincoln was busy on the soccer field, so he required all four grandparents to attend to him.  Seriously!!!!!  He has the whole world wrapped around his finger!   Did I mention that it was cold?  It was just over 60 degrees.   
Lincoln played in the first and third quarter of the game (per the rules that they play 4 on 4 for two 10 minute periods).  Coach Simon sat with Lincoln while watching the last quarter and had a fun chat.  They talked about how Coach noticed that Lincoln mostly loved to be in the backfield and was ready to guard the goal or prevent the other team from scoring. Great coaches are the best, and we have been blessed with some amazing Dads. 
After lunch and a little rest, we cheered on the Razorbacks for the first half of their game against Texas Tech.  During half time, we loaded up Lincoln's bike, helmet, knee and elbow pads, and had some bike riding practice in the Bowie parking lot.  Bubbles and Lincoln were taking it seriously, and Beau was running along in super slow motion.  Hilarious!!! 
Bubbles and Lincoln worked hard, and everyone got plenty of exercise.  We definitely have a few more bike riding lessons to go before Lincoln gets it, but good practice on a cool fall day.  
The boys always ask Minnie to read they books, and she always is up for that.  They brought all of their library books and piled up on the couch.  They might have read them multiple times . . . Minnie is a good reader. 
The boys gave Minnie a break and made Bubbles play games with them.  Chutes and Ladders was Lincoln's pick, and he bested Bubbles by 2-1.  They all played the duckie game and had fun! 
So much fun this weekend!  More fun is planned for Sunday, and Daddy has a birthday coming up that needs to be celebrated.
