Jay summed it up perfectly when he said that we are officially old and can only handle one activity a day without being completely dead. In other words, we barely survived all the events this past weekend. :)
Friday I was able to sneak away for dinner out with Gram for an early birthday celebration since she will be on a mission trip to Peru on my actual birthday. Gram treated me to a delicious meal at a local favorite, Terra Terroir. I love this spot because while it is located in a strip mall, the patio in the back makes you feel like you are in a different world. It is so pretty and relaxing. Plus the crispy brussel sprouts are worth it by themselves!
Saturday was slam packed with gymnastics and double header soccer games in Cumming in one million degrees. It was a total mom fail since I forgot to bring sunscreen, and the entire family burned to a crisp. Luckily the Baldwin family brought a tent that we squeezed under for relief. This was our first major loss soccer experience. We are hoping the season improves dramatically.
Everyone was ready for bed early. Jay and I might have been ready for bed around 5pm....
Sunday was also full of action. Tuttle participated in the 3rd Grade Bible Presentation at the early service. We attended a meeting afterwards to map out the expectations of the 3rd grade Sunday School class for the year, including memorizing many important lists and verses.
Tuttle had another soccer game on Sunday, so Jay stayed home with Jacob while he napped, so everyone would be happier. It was another loss, but Tuttle has continued his commitment to playing goalie and made some great saves for his team. It rained a little bit on the boys, but we were more comfortable getting a little wet than frying in the heat.
Our last event of the day was a Popsicle party for a new organization at our school called Rise Up. It is a Christian based group that meets once a month for fun and fellowship. It took a long time for the school to pass Rise Up, and we are thrilled to be a part of such a positive group for our students. I cannot wait for the first meeting this weekend.
The sunroom/playroom is getting some finishing touches, and I am obsessed! I purged A TON of toys, and the kids do not even notice what is missing. After picking up some storage solutions from Ikea yesterday (with my little helper in tow), I think the room will be much more functional for everyone.
There is one more desk to assemble and pictures to hang, but then the room is DONE! Jay has been such a good sport about all the projects I have piled on him. Our next project before hosting Friendsgiving is a small guest bathroom renovation. I may or may not have convinced him to wallpaper for me....
