The kids and I had a movie night Friday.
Luke had an 8:00 game Saturday morning. Many times I thought to myself that we would just skip it.
A.) it was at 8:00
B.) I was a single parent of FOUR for the weekend
C.) it was freezing outside 47 degrees with 11mph winds
D.) it was wet and gross out
E.) I was going to have to wake 4 kids
F.) I was going to chase 2 of the 4 kids around
So, after ALL the negative thoughts went through my head I told myself to buck up... You CAN do it... even though you would rather not.
So, alarm was set and I was up at 6:00 to get ready and then woke all the kids up got them dressed, fed and out the door at 7:20. We had to hit Starbucks you know!
We are now at the fields, I got the stroller with Seth loaded and everyone had a coat and a blanket. Of course no one wanted to wear their coat so mom looked like a pack mule with everything loaded on the stroller. Sophia got in the umbrella stroller and Jonah pushed her.
Once we made it down to the field in the wet and mud the meltdowns started! Sophia was Soooooooooooo cold she wanted to go home. The child had a blanket AND a coat that she opted NOT to use. She actually REFUSED to put on the coat or wrap in the blanket. So she continued to CRY the entire game because she was cold.
Seth cried just to cry I think. He would not put his coat on either but who knows if he was cold or not.
I am sure everyone on the sideline was hoping I would get those crazy kids out of there. I was ready to stand in the goal and let every ball at Warren Sports Complex come at me at once! This momma was DONE and it wasn't even 8:30am!
Tina asked where Justin was and I can't lie, I said, "hoping he is hungover with a massive headache"! ;). HA
We got home and Seth went down for a nap and when he woke up we headed to Plano to surprise Pops and eat lunch with him.
We got home and as we were pulling in the driveway we saw Nori and we made plans to go out to dinner with the kids. Sounded like a good idea at the time!
We went to Tupy's and Seth was a mess! The service was horrible but we made it through. Needless to say after dinner we decided to bail on them and come straight home, shower and put the kids to bed! I was beat!
Sunday morning we headed out to Matthew's soccer game. I didn't get to watch much of the game because I was chasing Seth and Sophia. Cousins had a blast playing together though!
Caroline wore Luke's jacket and Luke and Ben had matching shirts!
