Chili Night and more

Saturday morning we went to Cobe's soccer game- not a good result. They lost 7-2 and none of the kids looked like they knew what they were doing out there- rough game too. Cobe got hurt 3 different times- busted his lip, got elbowed and got knocked into the side of the wall pretty hard. I think his ego was more bruised than his body though- he did not have a very good game. Oh well- you win some, you lose some, right? ;-)

We came home and got ready to leave again. Cobe had a birthday party to go to, so Ryan dropped him off at the Lost City for that. He went to the mall and called me to bring the other 2 because they had an exotic animal display set up in the mall. He also had found some great deals at Dunham's for a Christmas present my mom and dad wanted to give the kids, so we met him there. They had 8-10 tigers- ranging from newborns to bigger ones in cages at the mall. You could pay $25 to go in the cages with them to play with them for 8 minutes. We opted NOT to do that, but the kids did enjoy looking at them and other people playing with them, feeding them with bottles, etc. I took my camera, but you weren't even allowed to take pictures unless you paid the $25. We ended up making out like bandits at Dunham's- great deals on two presents that will be WELL used at our house if last night was any indication. :-) My parents got the kids a foosball table and an air hockey table. Ryan came straight home and worked on putting the foosball table together so we could use it last night. It took him hours, but he finished just in the nick of time before our guests came over. Funny thing though, after the men tried playing it, they all realized that all the foosball men had been put on backwards, so they had to take it back apart. It took them awhile, but they fixed it and now the men are on right. They all had fun playing it and the boys have already been at it today as soon as they got up. Ryan will put together the air hockey table today for some Sunday afternoon enjoyment.

We had fun with the Bekins and Remicks last night, but Sadie proved NOT to be over her stomach virus. She started with diarhea and it was a mess. She tried to handle it herself in our bathroom- not a good idea. So we cleaned that mess up. Poor thing woke up this morning with a mess all in her bed and a mess all over her. SO here we go again- we have had to sanitize all of her bedding, her bathtub, etc. etc. etc. UGH!!!!! I think poop is much worse than throw up!!!!!!
And poor little Easton- the Remicks had already warmed up their car and were on their way out the door and Easton fell up our wood steps and busted his front top teeth. He chipped one and pushed the other one back into his gums at an angle. He was in severe pain and none of us really knew what to do since it was his teeth. Lesley called her aunt who works at Easton's dentist and got some advice from her. He'll most likely lose the tooth that was pushed back into his gums and will have to get his other tooth filed down most likely. Not a good ending to a fun night- Easton and "Sissy" are quite good buddies and had a blast playing together all night. So cute!

That brings us to today. We were all going to Sunday School, church and Ryan's parents' house for lunch, but that plan will have to change due to Sis's illness. I guess the boys and I will go to church, and Ryan and the boys will go to his mom's for lunch so we can stay home in shifts with Sis.

A few pictures from last night:

In this picture the girls were cooperative...

Max, Carson and Ryan playing police- Max LOVES policemen and took a break from watching COPS long enough to play with Ryan.
