Soccer started up again yesterday for Levi and Carlos. It’s outdoors this time so it was different for them but they loved it. Coach Grant is amazing and goofy and really plays with the kids and gets them involved. One of their friends is playing as well so that’s fun and now I have someone to chat with while the boys are on the field.

Last night was swimming, and was fun as always. I think we’ve got Carlos excited about swimming lessons now and even ok with the idea that mamas won’t be going in the pool with him for lessons. We’ll see how that works out for us when lessons start on Monday. Levi got to go with me on the water slide and LOVED it. Carlos got close to going, but said “no thank you, mama” and didn’t want to go down. He’s getting really good and kicking in the water. Trey is a fish, he loved being in the water and swimming around. Now if only we could find one more grown up to want to go swimming, we could really go crazy in the pool. Ha ha ha.

Here are a couple short video clips….one is Carlos saying his prayers (“now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, angels watch us through the night, and wake us with the morning light. Amen”) and the other is the boys dancing to Amy Winehouse…is it wrong that they love the song “rehab”? 🙂

We’ve got some friends coming to see us this morning….they are also foster parents who had Trey the first week of his life, now they have 3 girls including a 3 week old baby! It’ll be great to see them. Then we’re off to Lian and Pat’s wedding!!! The boys are excited to wear their ties, fingers crossed that they will do ok with the rest and behave, I’m mostly only worried about Trey but we’ll see. And we get to see lots of Clipper friends, woo hoo and especially Beth!

I came down with a nasty cold this morning…arrgh, off to bed. But wanted to share the link to Carlos’ 3 year old portraits. Just put “Kendra Field” as the customer name.

Took the kids to the symphony today and walked around the “big city” and even rode a city bus, which the kids thought was very fun.

Off to bed so I can hopefully have a fun weekend!

What a treat, we got to go out to a movie! Nana and Papa watched the boys, they had a blast and watched “Night at the Museum” for the 900th time and ate popcorn and hung out. They must have played hard because they fell fast asleep as soon as we got home, no fussing.

We saw “Knocked Up” and it was hilarious! So nice to get out for a bite to eat and a movie without anyone asking for something or needing something. And a funny movie, too. 🙂 Going to bed happy.

Tomorrow we’ve got a playdate, Levi’s school picnic then Carlos’ speech therapy. Our neighbors down below have their sons in the Babe Ruth baseball playoffs so we may go see them play tomorrow night. Also hoping to get the boys back in the swimming pool for a bit. Whew, tired just thinking about it…..
