Heaven on Earth!

Have I mentioned before what an amazing friend Lisa is????? Have I???? She is THE BEST! She keeps me sane in many ways, but today is a perfect example of how selfless she is. She came to Cobe's soccer game- the whole family did. We all went to Chuck E. Cheese's together for lunch (my kids did not get enough of it last night at the party- they had such a blast they wanted to go back again). Then, she took my kids for the afternoon AND night! Any mom knows what a treat that is for me. They were going to play outside all afternoon on this gorgeous day and make a fire tonight to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Lisa!!!!! So, I went to VS in the mall to get new undies and to Claire's to get Maya's birthday present. Now I am home and about to head out to the grocery store. I'll come home shower in peace and Ryan and I are heading out with some friends for the evening. We were going to the BOB to hear a comedian, but there was no comedian tonight after checking into it, so we are going to Curraugh's in Holland for dinner and to hang out. I am sure it will be an early night since Ryan is working today and tomorrow. Then I'll have all morning to myself- YAY! I am going to meet Lisa at church for Sunday School, then we'll probably head home b/c I cannot deal with Sadie the entire service by myself. She's atrocious at church. She loves Sunday School though and does well in there.

We went to Landon's party last night and we all had so much fun. Liz got pizza and pop for the adults as well, and she included Sadie in the party fun. They played games and danced, and Brooks even got over his fear of Chuck. He hugged him and was dying to go back today to see him again. Boeve started calling him "Forrest" as in Forrest Gump because Brooks was making so many odd noises while we were there for lunch. He was quite excited to play and see Chuck. He can be so shy at times, and then wide open at others. Today was a prime example of him cutting loose. We left the party and headed to the Dux/Chix game. The Chix got smoked 38-0 and they called the game at half-time. Never been to a game where that has happened, but we were leaving anyway b/c it was getting late. We wanted to stay to see Landon (Bell) go out on the field with his football team and Bailey cheer, then we left.

Today Cobe played his cousin Justin in soccer. Such a rivalry they had created. They had been talking smack when they saw each other about the other one losing. Cobe's team was undefeated, so I was hoping today wouldn't be their first loss. No worry- Cobe's team won 4-0 and Cobe scored 2 of the goals. Dimitri scored the other 2. Those boys were on fire! It is so much fun to watch them play.

I am off to the grocery store. It is amazing how much time I can waste when I don't have 3 kids needing me!

LUCKY YOU... how nice to have no husband and no kids for an afternoon! I don't think I would know what to do with myself! Have fun tonight! Enjoy your dinner!

Glad you decided on the Curragh - I had heard that there was a big Tomato war at the BOB tonight - some big event - I am sure it would be PACKED there. It will be nice to stay local and have a good dinner and few drinks. Sounds like a pretty nice weekend for you! Bergie called this afternoon and told us he'd leave the lights on at the hospital for us - so yep - I think we are next!!!
