What a Week

It has been a really long week!  I've had a migraine since last Sunday, so it has made my week blur together.  It has been a good week though.  I went out with some good friends for dinner on Wednesday.  We had a great time chatting and laughing.  We stayed until close and had a "beautiful" time. 

Friday night was the last home game of the regular season for the Colorado Rapids.  I took my two oldest kids with me.  On the drive we were having a fantastic time.  We were singing, I was dancing badly, we were talking in funny voices.  It was a blast.  We were able to sit on the team bench and watch the team warm up.  Bonus, we got to see the Rocky Mountain Cup close up.  The guys from ESPN were set up right by our seating section, so that was a bit of a kick to see them filming.  The game was great!  No goals were scored.  Spent a lot of time yelling "come on ref!".  We stopped for hot chocolate and nachos on the way home.  Even though my head and my feet were both in huge amounts of pain, it was a great night.

This morning was the Flat 14ers walk.  It was put on by our school district and a local news station.  So tomorrow morning my kids should be on the news.  Yay!  They'll get a kick out of it.  Our school's choir was again invited to sing the National Anthem.  This time the whole choir, 3rd - 6th grade, was invited to sing, so my older daughter got to sing too!  Coolest thing though?  My youngest got to sing with the big kids!  She has sung for the choir teacher before, who knows she can sing, and she knows all the words to the National Anthem.  I was pretty impressed by both of my girls getting up there and singing with their big brother and the choir.  My younger son was invited to sing too, but he chose not to which was fine.  With my feet issues I could do the two mile walk, but my sweet husband and the kids all did it.  They rock!

This afternoon my son had a soccer game.  His team got stomped!  I am happy to say that he ended the game with a great attitude and had fun playing.  He got the wind knocked out of him pretty badly.  Did a slide kick and then got landed on by another kid.  He was back out and playing quickly though.  Not much can keep him down.  I'm very grateful to say that he has a great sense of sportsmanship. 

I had a photo shoot after the game.  It was a lot of fun!  I enjoyed meeting the family and really had an enjoyable time recording some photographic memories for them.  I hope that they enjoy their pictures as much as I did taking them.

That brings us to now.  The end of the week.  I am really hoping for a lot less pain next week.  I am also looking forward to one more week of fall break.  I love spending time with my kiddos!  They are fabulous little people who awe me every day.
