This Saturday Logan had a game at 8:00am. He was a little star out there...he was chasing down every ball, sometimes he would get it and other times he wasn't fast enough. At one point he got it twice in a row and on the third time he gave the ball to Jenna (another little girl on the team who was crying because she wasn't fast enough to get the ball!) I was so proud of my baby boy in that moment, I nearly cried. After the game, JR headed off to work, and the kids and I went home. I got some stuff done around the house that I have been putting off. Landry took a nap and I got myself and Logan ready for the river. We were waiting on some friends of ours so once they got there, Keith and JR tied down the tubes in the back of Keith's truck and we set out for the river. Half way there the tubes came unlatched and went all over the road...and of course my recliner got a giant hole in it! So JR and I went back to the house to get another tube while Keith got all the tubes in the truck and bungeed down. We finally got on the river around 2:20 and it was actually flowing faster this weekend, but is still in desperate need of rain. We tied off in under the train tracks for about 45 minutes and just hung out there, then decided to move along down the river, and we tied off again at the very end. The kids had a blast - and Landry got pretty sleepy towards the end, so we packed up and went to eat. By the time we got home, I put Landry to bed...and the rest of us went straight to bed as well. I had 4 beers and was pretty toasted. It takes very little for me to get drunk these days.
The weather forecast said it was going to rain on Sunday starting at around 2:00pm, so we decided to stay home instead of going to the river again. I didn't want to chance the kids being in the cold weather. Well, it never rained yesterday. In fact, I got to lay out for a couple of hours and enjoy the sun. By 6 that evening the wind was howling and the temperature had dropped significantly. By the time I went to bed it was 55 degrees with 25 mph winds! The good news is that I finished both of my books that I checked out at the library last Wednesday and a book on my kindle...so I am going to head to the library today to get two more...and hopefully I can finish them quickly and get two or three more on Wednesday to take to the beach with me this weekend!
It is supposed to rain all day today, but so far, it is just cold and grey. I hope it starts raining soon, and rains the entire day...even though that means I wont be getting any sun today..I dont mind - we NEED the rain! And I am pretty sure that I am as tan as it is possible for me to get!
Here are some photos of us at the river!
