this week.

I definitely miss all day trips to the pool and beach.  Driving kids around all day is already getting old and this is just the beginning of the next 16 plus years for me!  Elle is still being an angel despite being in the car all day.  The excitement of Kindergarten has worn off for Bentley.  He isn't being that great at school.  He told me his feet are too noisy and he didn't put the bikes away when they asked him to.  Poor kid had a rough week.  Gaige keeps telling me he wants to go to Bentley's school.  This week has been an adjustment for all of us.

This Saturday the boys had soccer games in Aliso Viejo at two different fields 3 hours apart.  So we made a day of it...in 100 degree heat.  Bentley's team struggled again.  The teams we are playing have played together for the past year and have practiced all summer.  Our little Black Ninjas are all out there running the entire time, no subs, though.  Gotta give them props for that!  Matt promised Gaige ice cream if he scored a goal.  He plowed through those kids like a bulldozer and scored his first goal.  He is easily motivated with treats, always has been.  Treats are the way to this boy's heart for sure!

Hopefully we can all get adjusted to our new schedule and find some time for the pool and beach despite all of the driving around and school these days!
