A Fun Week

Glenn and Nick playing indoor with their new team. Their coach is the one in the black standing behind them with his back facing us. He looks like one of the boys!!

Last week Glenn had an indoor soccer game with his new team. They played the Elite team and got their butts kicked.. but it was still fun to watch. In this video Glenn almost had a goal!! He just kicked it a little too far in front of him so the goalie got it!

The following Sunday we got 4 extra kids staying with us. We always wanted 6 kids and have experienced that this week. It's been crazy, it's been fun and the Xbox Nazi in me started coming out!! :) Once the boys cleaned up and did what I asked they were able to play again. They are great kids and we loved having them over.

We had 4 teenagers - two 15 yr old boys - Glenn and Nick, one 14 yr old girl - Kaitlin, one 13 yr old boy - Tyler, one 10 yr old boy - Parker and one 7 yr old girl - Cassie. The first night they were here Parker and our treadmill got into a fight and the treadmill won. Parker, Tyler and both Glenn's were playing in our exercise room & Parker was running on the treadmill - turned it up to 10mph.. was doing OK.. Tyler said something to him then Parker lost his concentration and fell, twisted around and the treadmill threw him into the wall. He had some treadmill burns on his shoulder and face - ended up with a puffy eye(I had a photo but can't find it!!) Once the bruise started to heal his eye looked like he had eye shadow on!! He was such a trooper about it too - poor thing. We felt SOOO bad!!

We had them for turkey day at my brothers house, so with our 6 kids and his 6 kids plus everyone else made for a full house!! I think they had 23 people.. it was fun!! At least Cassie had another girl her same age. She didn't want to come back home!

Cassie made sure she got in the hot tub twice a day and last night they spent it in the hot tub during our first measurable snowfall - throwing snowballs at the house, fence and jumping on the tramp and jumping back in the hot tub. They had a blast and it was one week of an endless sleepover that comes to an end tonight!! Bummer for the kids... peace for the parents. :) We just really wished we had the theater room/game room complete so they could have had more fun!
