JUST A COUPLE FUN MEMORIES.

The past couple days have been super saturated with school/fun!  This weekend was Elementary Night at the Friday night football game.  I hate to say but I shrugged it off last year and tried to steer my kids away from all the hype that surrounds Friday but this year we just gave in.  Brayden was all smiles getting to wear his football jersey to school, along with the girls in their free dress.  An elementary pep rally always seems like a stretch to me but we were there...along with a packed large gym to cheer on all the elementary cheer-leaders and football players.

The pep rally was only the beginning, after gaining a couple more kids for the evening we ventured out to the METRO BASH!  What a time, popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, sugar, dunk tanks and any kind of inflatable you can imagine.  At more than one point I had one kid tell me their tummy hurt only to be followed by..."I'm hungry, can I get a hot dog"  We played at ate until the varsity football game then proceeded to watch with a gazillion other family's and kids.  I was exhausted and really not the least interested in the game, but had to stay because all the elementary football teams were running the field and being announced at half-time.  It was all worth it seeing Brayden sprint the field with a huge smile on his face.

This was headed for all the fun, everyone was pretty excited!

This was at the end of the evening...the excitement had drained!

Saturday morning we were back at Metro for Brayden's football game.  It was another loss but fun to see Brayden get some runs in and some hard tackles.

Team photo day-no smiles for a team football photo

Yummy filled donuts after the game-a good second breakfast on an early Saturday morning.

We ended the day with some girl fun.  The girls and I along with Marleny, Katherine and Grandma all went to see Disney on Ice.  WHAT A SHOW!!  Turned out to be a ton of fun.  The costumes were beautiful, the stories were as endearing as ever and oh so fun to hear all the Disney songs. 

An end to to Grandma's stay, a story on her last night in Tulsa.  It has been a wonderful week having her around making everything the kids do just a little more special.
