Start of the Week Stuff

Whew.  I'm tired!  We had one of those weekends where you really need a couple days to recover from it when it's over.  Saturday we took the divide and conquer approach. Matthew took M to her 3 tournament games an hour away, and I kept the boys and took R to his baseball game.  We had record-breaking tempters, and the boys took full advantage of it.  They were in their swim trunks by 9am and asking for me to set up the slip-n-slide.  We did the water table, kiddy pool, and after switching some hoses around I got the slip-n-slide set up for them.  After about 10 minutes of that running I realized it was going to completely flood the yard if it was on much longer, so I turned it off and pulled out the big blow up pool that we got when we lived in Redding.  I got it set up for them to play in for a bit and then headed to R's baseball game.  After the game they played in the pool some more and then we headed to meet Matthew and M at church.  When we got home at almost 8pm it was still 82° in our backyard, so the kids swam while I made a quick dinner. 
Sunday we left the house at 7:30am to head back down for more softball.  It was the elimination part of the tournament, so we didn't know if we'd be there for one game, or all day. They won their first game, then had to wait for another game to be played before their next game.  They won the next one because the team they were playing had to forfeit.  After that they had to wait to for another game to see who they would be playing in the championship game.  They did great and ended up winning the whole thing, which was so awesome!!  
This was my first experience with my kid competing, before this season they've never really kept score or had it count for anything.  It was so nerve-racking watching them play, way worse than those close Giants games!  
Anyway, we didn't get home until 7 last night and we were all exhausted (except N, who napped in my arms on the hard bleachers during their last game). It was a fun weekend, but I am not feeling ready for this week at all.  Luckily it's not looking like it will be quite as busy as the last couple have been.  

Here are a couple pictures from the weekend:
