Sitting here by myself today and reminiscing on the past few days. What a weekend filled with fun, memories, family, sickness, snow, and cold. Seems that the winter season wants to come a little early this year and for me, it's too early! I'm not ready for all this, but thankfully I planned ahead and picked up new gloves, boots, and coats a little at a time this year, b/c they came in handy. Yesterday, the boys had their 1st snow day and outside is where they wanted to go. I felt prepared and was able to fulfill the fun. Ethan, of course, had to be Batman and fight crime for a little while (with 6 layers of clothes underneath the costume) in the snow. Colin, he just wanted to be bundled up and get out in the snow, so I got them out the door and they played for a little while. It was cold, but they lasted for a little over an hour I think. It was nice that they got the snow day, b/c I planned on keeping Ethan home from school anyway. That poor little guy was down for the count on Sunday and only ate 1 bowl of soup all day. He didn't move from the floor, where I made a bed for him, unless it was to the bathroom. Man, he had something and that something had to take its course. I was so glad when he woke up yesterday and he was back to being his normal self. He even asked for hot chocolate to celebrate their 1st snow day.

Something else that got accomplished this weekend...Ethan's very 1st sports banquet. We had a covered dish meal over at the middle school for all the little guys who played flag football this year. It was nice to see the turnout, too. Here I was expecting a small gathering, but heck they had to bring in more chairs and tables to accommodate everyone. Brenton was a bit nervous, b/c he had to speak about his team and present each of his players with their medal. My husband is not a huge talker in front of crowds, but let me just tell you he nailed it. I was so proud of him! He loves to coach and be a part of these kid's lives, so seeing him up there and talking about each one did my heart good. My son, was so proud up there, as well. He was all smiles when Daddy presented him w/ his medal and certificate that when the crowd clapped for him, he took a bow....not once, not twice, not even 3 times, but 4 times. LOL! Yes, he did and was so stinkin proud to be up there, but only my son. ;) I told Brenton that heck if he doesn't make it in football, he sure loves an audience! LOL!! It turned out to be a great evening celebrating the teams and we are really looking forward to next year.
