Activities are starting


This weekend we stayed busy with a variety of activities.  Friday night was Bingo night at Candeo.  There was a big turn out!  They sold packs of 10 cards and 3 meal tickets  for 10 dollars.  Ben bought two.  It was basically  Ben, Sophia and I playing Bingo while the boys played outside.  We used all our cards on the first game, and ended up winning.  Sophia picked out the snow cone machine (we already have a shaved ice machine), and I couldn't talk her out of it.  She was the envy of many kids who were eyeing that machine.
Saturday we had to get up early to clean the church at 7:00.  Five families showed up this time, so we were done in 45 minutes.  Much faster than when it was just our family last time.   After, we took the kids to Dunkin Donuts.  Aubrie had to get back to go to a YW  Book of Mormon Read-a-thon.  She was there from 8 to 2:00.
Aubrie had a double header starting at 3:00.  They won both games.   It's so fun watching indoor soccer.  I prefer it over outdoor, but that could have something to do with not sitting under the scorching sun!  I also like the fast pace.   Aubrie is an excellent defender. She doesn't let balls get past her. She is one out of the 2 girls on her team.  People are always commenting on how tough she is, because most of the teams are all boys, and they think they can push her around, or knock her out of the way, but it usually ends up being the other way around.  Sometimes you can tell the boys getting upset that a girl is beating up on them.   It's fun to watch! These two games marked the end of her season.  Another starts for her in a few weeks.   I'm glad she has something to keep her busy since she no longer does gymnastics.
