This morning started a little crazy. It was Boston's first T-ball game. Ben's the coach (have I already mentioned that?) and had told everyone the wrong place for the game. He had to drive out of our neighborhood (since our phones were down and we don't get cell reception) in order to call all the parents. He took Boston and Aubrie w/ him and went straight to the game. I had to stay back until the flooring guys got here.
Luckily the flooring guys arrived on time and Ben was able to get a hold of all the T-ball parents ( I kept praying he would!), so everything worked out. It was much hotter at the game than I expected, since things were breezy at home, so one of the parents let me borrow a stroller for Sophia so she didn't bake in the sun!
Boston had a great time, as did Aubrie. She was very excited for the game. She made Pom Pons out of yarn this morning. She was also making sure the boys had water and was helping place them in their field positions. Boston had some good hits and had fun fielding the ball. When the game was over and we were driving home Boston said, so sweetly, "thank you for coming to my game". He is always so grateful!
The rest of the day we spent hanging around the house, waiting for our floors to be done. It took much longer than expected. They got here at 8:00am and left at 9:00pm! It was actually driving me crazy. Not them being here, they were really nice guys and I would recommend their work to anyone, but just having our stuff everywhere was driving me insane. I CANNOT function in chaos, so I was was so disfunctional today. I didn't know what to do with myself. I can't wait to get everything put away!
The kids had a fun day. The neighbor kids were over all day. It's becoming the hang out here, which was what we intended when we did our yard, hoping to keep our kids close. It just means more noise, which I don't have a high tolerance for lately! I think once Sophia is a little older and not napping so often, the noise won't bother so much.
Tonight was the RS Broadcast. The were some good talks on the family and on serving. President Monson spoke and had some great stories and some funny jokes, as usual. I love hearing him speak! After the broadcast, my Mom and I came home for some dinner. They had a fondue "social" afterward, but I knew I would probably get sick if I ate that first. I missed out on some socializing, but I also knew I needed to get home to help watch the kids, since Ben was watching the BYU game.
When we were driving up the neighbor kids were just hanging outside of our house. They said Ben told them they could come back over to play as soon as I got home....thanks Ben! They are really good kids, but I was tired. Finally they all left around 7:30. It was bath time, bed time and then my time!
