Busy Week, Fun Weekend

So much fun this week . . . it was crazy busy, but crazy fun!  Lincoln and Beau got new Komen shirts.  They were in heaven!  They totally love Komen shirts, and Mommy got the hook-up on a few international RFTC kids shirts.  Happy guys!
Beau was super clean, super cute, and super excited for bedtime prayers on Wednesday night.  When he's not a holy terror, he's a sweet angel! 
Lincoln was soooooo proud of the owl he made at school and needed a picture with "Hootie Lincoln."  His "friend" is living on the dresser in a prime spot for a while! 
Minnie and Bubbles came to visit on Friday after school, and the boys were so exited!  Love Minnie and Lincoln hugging when they got here! 
They brought the boys a couple of pumpkins to decorate, and Mommy brought out the glow in the dark spray paint.  We taped triangle eyes and nose and a snaggle-tooth smile, then we got busy spraying.  Linc and Bubbles worked together. 
Of course, Beau didn't need any help and sprayed away! 
The spraying helpers turned into climbers and Bubbles had to finish the job with a couple of monkeys on his back!  (I bet he loved it though!!!)  It would be great to report that the glow in the dark painted pumpkins looked awesome . . . but they didn't!  Apparently the spray paint Mommy got wasn't so great!  At least we had fun! 
We met up with Nana and Pops and our usual group for dinner on Friday night, and it was fun as usual.  Saturday morning was lots of playing, or actually lots of bossing!  The boys bossed Minnie and Bubbles all morning about what games to play, what books to read, etc.  They were all happy!  Lincoln soccer game in the afternoon was warm and fun.  Beau recruited Katie to race cars on the bleacher.  Katie is such a fun player!   
Lincoln had an awesome soccer game.  He usually prefers to play in the goalie position, but Coach Billy had him more on offense in this game.  He worked so hard to hustle and always be in the action.  He scored an awesome goal, and we all cheered so much!  (Seriously, every parent on our team was totally thrilled for hard-working Lincoln to get a goal!!!!)  He ran through the end game "parent-tunnel" with so much joy!  So proud of Lincoln! 
We had a shopping plan for Saturday afternoon, but we ended up at the church Trunk or Treat.  It should be noted that it was 90 degrees on 10-25-14, and that is a little warm to be in full Halloween costumes.  The boys were determined to wear them, so whatever!  The had to strike a Ninja pose! 
We hit up all of the trunks to get candy, and then we had to pose with the Pumpkin Head man.   A little creepy, but they were all for it.  Lincoln was hard core about leaving his Leonardo mask on! 
Once we got to the games, we convinced Linc to take his mask off so he could actually see what he was doing.  The boys had so much fun with the games. Golf was easy for them! 
They were also pretty good at fishing! 
We hit up the bounce house and bounce slide before we left.  We really enjoyed having Minnie and Bubbles with us for a fun Saturday.  We had a yummy dinner at Manny's and thought everyone would be tired from the busy day . . . not so much!  The boys settled down to watch a movie at 8:30, and they were still up at 11:00!!!!  Mommy was teaching Lincoln's Sunday School, and the kids loved the story from Ms. Jeanette.  We learned about the Ten Commandments.   
We had brunch at the club with Minnie and Bubbles before they headed back to Arkansas.  We were definitely missing Allyson because we haven't seen her in ages!!  She had a busy school schedule and now busy work schedule.  She had taken on work to make sure she didn't miss trip . . . then she was diagnosed with Mono on Thursday.  We are praying for her to get better soon.  See you next time, Ally!  Lincoln's soccer team had the end of season party at Bowie on Sunday afternoon with a Sno-Cone truck!  It was the perfect afternoon for playing on the playground with friends and enjoying a fun treat!  The Ninjas teammates joined by their little siblings made for a super fun table!
Lincoln loved when Coach Simon presented him with his trophy!  The boys all discussed how they haven't lost a game yet, so they can't lose the (rained out) make-up game next Saturday.  They really want to end the season undefeated! 
The kids all ran to play for a while, and they had fun on the playground and playing soccer against Coach Billy and Coach Simon.  Beau decided he wanted a second Sno-Cone, and he sat in solitude and worked on that treat for so long.  Love that he does his own thing that makes him happy! 
After the soccer team party ended, Daddy and Lincoln went to play golf at the club.  Beau and Mommy hit up Tom Tom and Central Market for groceries for the week.  Dinner was Baked Penne, and we all made happy plates!  It was a great weekend!  We loved having Minnie and Bubbles visit, and we had fun with our regularly scheduled activities and adding a few unexpected events.  Happy Weekend!
