Another Busy Weekend... Last Soccer Game and B-day Parties!

 We had another busy weekend.  Imagine that! First it was Tommy's last soccer game on a cold COLD morning.
 The kids really did pretty well.  We actually purposefully scored a goal!! Tommy did great when he was goalie.

 He kicked it really well several times to start off.


I didn't get one of the good ones on video.  But this is a classic example of one of our soccer games.  The goalie kicks it off and one of our teammates tries to kick it into the wrong goal.  Haha! At the very beginning of the video, you can hear a set of sports parents yelling at their little girl.  They got a little mean.  It was ridiculous.  It was our first experience of bad sports parents screaming at their kids the entire game.  Since she's 5, she immediately shut down and stopped wanting to play and she was one of our best players.  It was pretty sad.  So parents, please don't yell at your kids.  This is supposed to be fun. 

He blocked all but one goal.  He really did great.  He loves that position.

Charlotte had a great time because the siblings of Tommy's other teammates were giving her candy.  Ha! Sugar rush!

She also found a pair of party favor sunglasses in my car.  They look great on her. They've only been stepped on a few times.

After the game, we handed out treat bags with tiny little trophies, bouncy soccer balls, soccer tattoos, and candy.  The kids loved them. It was definitely a learning season but at least they had a little fun too.

 Right after the party, we ate lunch quickly and headed over to Buccaneer Bay for the first birthday party of the day.  His buddy Noah was in his class last year.  They split the kids into two classes and Noah is in the other preschool class.  But he still wanted Tommy at his party.  How nice! I told Noah's mom that Tommy had a soccer game that morning and that we would be late.  I didn't realize we would be almost 2 hours late.  Whoops. 

But luckily, we still had an hour of party time left! Tommy has never been here before and we live a mile away.  He was a little apprehensive of everything at first.  He tried the little slide first.  Whee!

Then he tried the bigger slide.  He did not realize what he would be getting into.  Water on his head??? NOOOOO!!! Haha! He recovered quicker than I thought he would. 

There was so much stuff to do!

What Tommy and Noah spent the most time doing was trying to climb up the slide.  Luckily, there was hardly anyone there so they could take over the park.  They had so much fun together.  It was so cute. 

Side story: So Noah's mom is young and she was wearing a bikini in the pool.  She, Tommy, and Noah were playing around and Tommy grabbed her bikini top string in the back and untied it. Nothing showed but she had to get out of the pool to fix it.  I was mortified.  I gave him a stern 'talking to' and then went over to her to apologize.  She said, "Well maybe this wasn't the best choice of swimsuit for a kid's pool party."  Haha! She was right about that.


 After we got back from Noah's party, we headed down to Westfield for Max and Reese's Donut birthday party.  How fun is that? They had a donut truck frying up fresh donuts right there at their house.  The sad part is that we missed the donut truck.  Waaahhh waahhh.  We were also an hour and 45 minutes to their party.  Bummer.  But we still had donuts! Yum! Charlotte was a big fan!

 The kids also had fun playing. 

 They played in the bounce house, on the swingset, on the playing field.  They had a great time!

 We stayed pretty late at their house.  I felt bad that we were so late and then we stayed late.  We are the worst guests ever! But we haven't seen the Goldmans in a long time.  We really wanted quality time with them!

 Ashley was so kind to put up with us.  She even  offered to make our kids dinner and put up with our high maintenance requests to search through her cabinets to find something for Tommy to eat.  Almond butter and jelly for the win!

Almond butter sandwich smile!

We took off and headed home after that extremely busy day.  We couldn't do anything else the rest of the weekend because we were so exhausted.  What a fun weekend!
