Fun Friday and Saturday!

Friday was a busy day!  Beau went with Daddy to help set a Scottish Festival, then we all met up at Bowie when school was out.  Ms. Harker, the Librarian, told Lincoln last week that the end of AR quizzes is coming up soon.  He has been super determined to read more books each evening so he's ready for more quizzes.  It has taken a long time to get from the 10 point club to the 20 point club when Kindergarten books only earn 0.5 each time.  On Friday afternoon, he made it to 20!!!!!  (He gets a free ice cream pass in the cafeteria next week, and that is a totally exiting reward!)  

We woke up to thunder and rain on Saturday morning, and we were moving pretty slow and assuming the Ninja's soccer game would be cancelled.  Apparently the Y is tired of cancelling games, so we all trampled in the mud while the boys play a hard and fast game.  Lincoln scored a monster goal and hustled hard.  The boys have really rallied after so many weeks of rain outs.   

Daddy left the soccer game to check on a couple of festivals in Arlington and Fort Worth.  Luckily, the rain took a break for the afternoon, and they were successful.  Lincoln chose The Burger House for lunch, and Ms. Kate said the Katsoulis family would join us there.  Fun lunch with (baseball coach) Corey, Kate, Nick, Ellie and Baby Tyler.  The kids had fun spending eating lunch and spending tons of dollars and quarters on the video games and silly toy machines.  Beau had to pose with his 50 cent gray mustache!!!  We had a great time . . . and we were all still muddy from soccer! 

After getting cleaned up and having a fun afternoon of Legos and a Target trip, we met up with the Moody's and Katsouslis' families for a fun dinner at Manny's.  They put our wild group in the party room, and we tried to keep it in check.  The parents loved visiting, and the kids loved hanging together.  There might have been a chip fight (that was put to a stop), there might have been a sugar canister giant swallow (that was put to a stop), there might have been a bunch of ice cubes thrown (that was put to a stop), there might have been a bunch of fruit/quesadillas/fajitas/chips eaten, and there might have been a Scooby Doo DVD available to distract little boys from all of the bad behavior that can happen at a semi-supervised table just 2 feet from their parents!!  Mommy took the kids outside at the end to run a bit on the patio!  Fun group! 

Coach Corey and Coach Andy (and he brought William) came over for a coaches meeting later in the night, and the kids managed to have a popcorn fight in the playroom.  Yikes!  But such a fun Friday and Saturday!
