Schleppy Labor Day Weekend!!!

This weekend was quite the busy one. Friday we shopped til we dropped. LITERALLY!!!! Carmen's clothes were pretty much scarce. Only 1 pair of pants fit her. So we got to go shopping all day long. Of course I, too, needed clothes.
Saturday we went to the Walkers house in Plainfield, IN (just outside of Indy). We went to the Sky concert, it's an end of the summer celebration. What a blast. Donovan played football w/ some kids he met there. Carmen and Hanna played and rolled around in the grass. We sat next to a karaoke machine so Donovan, Carmen and Hanna all got to sing. And the grown ups got to kick back, relax and eat. The night ended with a fireworks display. A very good time was had by all.

Sunday we went to the Little Italy Festival in a small town called Clinton. They had food, rides (which we made sure the kids did not see lol) food, vendors, oh and did I mention food. I was, however, a little disappointed. You go to a Italian festival and you'd think it's mostly Italian food...well not here. I miss the taste of Goose Creek where all the Italians get together and cook real Italian food. Okay enough complaining. We ate and came home.
Sunday we went to the Walker's house for a Labor Day cookout. Our original plans of going to the Ribfest went bad.....way too much money. So a nice inexpensive day cooking out with the Walkers at their home was way better. The kids played basketball, football.....oh did I say kids? I meant the guys, ha ha ha! The younger girls played on the playground while the older girls (myself and Teresa) hung out and did what females do best which is talk. We all had a very nice time. We even made it home in time to mow the grass. YIPPEE!!! (NOT)

Sports are in full swing

Soccer and Football have officially started. The season started off right for Carmen's team the "Rockets". They kicked butt in their first game. As a coach I was sooo proud of them. As a mom I was even more proud. They played their little hearts out. We scored about 8-10 goals while the other team only scored 2 goals. But they played their hearts out too. GO TEAM GO!!

Donovan's season started with the Jamboree. Basically in a nutshell it's when all the teams get together to scrimmage. His team played twice in it with no score either time. But they also played their hearts out. His first game is this coming weekend. I sure hope they make a score!!! GO BILLS!!
