Friday night we were able to just stay home and it was music to my ears. I love that the kids are involved in community theatre and sports, but sometimes I just want to stay home.
I love love love the fact that Leah enjoys being crafty. I'm always on Pinterest trying to find her a new project. We had just finished their district wide book so we decided to do a little book project just because we wanted to. She is so proud of her poster.
While Leah and I were being crafty I caught my son doing this. WHAT is going on with the world? Hehe. Seth is currently engaged in something called "The Battle of the Books" and he is on a team and within the team they have to read 20 books from within a list by April, write summaries and then they will engage in some sort of battle at school. He is all about competition so this is such a great challenge for him academically.
Later that night our elf had promised them a family movie night so we watched Home Alone 3. It felt wonderful to simply lay on the couch.
Saturday was choked full of rehearsal, soccer and more family fun with the cousins in the evening.
Thank you to Shannon and Steve for our amazing house warming gift. I totally and utterly love it.
On Sunday we had a double play date in the afternoon. It started out with just Aliza who planned to come over and then at the last minute we decided to ask her big sister and one of Seth's close friends, Willa to come over also. Seth and Willa have become such great friends, not only on the soccer field, but in school as well. She puts him in check and they have so much fun together. It was such a great afternoon.
This was our first play date with Aliza. She is on Leah's soccer team, in her church school class and is in the classroom next to Leah's. They got along amazingly and Aliza even told me after the soccer game that she wants to come over again. So funny.
They all stopped their playing for a bit to watch Elf.
Then they moved downstairs to watch a little more.
The finale was a 2 on 2 match of soccer. The bigs against the littles.
Sister versus sister
Poppy came over for dinner since Grandma was out of town and read Leah her holiday story of the day.
After seeing Shannon's post on fb I had to go to Target and find these fun holiday ice cream treats.
Leah liked the snowman best and Seth liked the tree.
We finished up the weekend by watching The Elf on the Shelf movie.
I definitely need another day to just lay on the couch all day long. I'm exhausted.
Positivity though, I'm a lucky lady.
