Our lives have gotten so hectic lately that it seems like there is always something that has to be done and never enough time to finish or actually get it done! But, we made a little of progress this weekend.
Chris took Jaden and Luke to Jaden's soccer game. I wanted to go but thought that they less of an "audience" he had the better he might do. He has been so upset at even the mention of soccer lately that I didn't want to push it. He had to at least make an appearance today because it was his turn to bring the snacks ;)
Dad "convinced" him to go ahead and get his soccer uniform on (Luke wore Anna's old soccer socks, his soccer shoes, and a red shirt to support Jaden's team) by allowing him to sample the treats I had bought for his team. Thank goodness I chose the oreo cakesters! Apparently, they did the trick!
Since the other team didn't show up Jaden's team was split up and they played themselves. Jaden actually got out on the field, kicked the ball, almost scored and had lots of fun! Luke even got a chance to get out there and kick a few. But I was told that mostly he guarded the snacks :)
Jaden was so excited to tell me about his game. He said he had so much fun! Later, he asked Chris to play soccer with him outside. He didn't take his uniform off until we went to the Harvest Festival in the evening.
After lunch Chris and the kids washed the cars. Luke did an awesome job washing my driver's side door! When I came out he was really seruious about it and seemed to be putting some muscle behind it! Chris said he pretty much stayed in that one spot the whole time! I'm just happy he wasn't throwing rocks at it....or his brother or sister...
