what a week...(LAST WEEK THAT IS)

WOW! What a week. We were so busy last week, that i had no time to post anything and hubby was so frustrated with not being able to post sam's soccer slide show, that he just gave up! Let's see....
monday was simple enough, we hung out at home and picked up a few things for samuel's end of season soccer party.
Tuesday i taught a moring class at the scrapbook store and went in search of white canvas tennis shoes for sam and gabi. See, back in June we found out the Wiggles were coming to san antonio and we bought tickets for the show. I found a great lady on ebay who made the cutest dress for gabi and shirt for sam that they were going to were for the concert. AND of course they had to have shoes to match, so I thought we could paint our own as a fun project to do together. But, NO ONE had canvas tennis shoes so we settled on making posters instead.
Wednesday i am working like a mad woman to finish these concert posters AND i had to host a girls scout scrapbooking event at the store that afternoon!! Samuel also had his last soccer game on Wednesday night. He will begin again in the fall.
Thursday we had a great early start to our day. We attend uncle jose's retirement ceremony at Fort Sam. It was a great ceremony and we can hardly believe he is out of the military. We are very proud of him. Thursday was also the BIG concert day! I must say, it was one of the best concerts i have EVER been to (yes, even better than NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK...for those of you who knew me back when...). Johnny and I loved it as much as sam and gabi! It was so neat to see how excited they were about the concert.
friday we spent most of the day getting things in order for the big soccer party on saturday.
Saturday PARTY day! We had a great time celebrating Samuel's second season of soccer! YES (for those of you already questioning my judgemnet) this is his second soccer season and he is only 3. BUT, we are not those crazy parents who demand that their child begin intense athletic training at birth to become the next million dollar athlete (well, I am not..but hubby is a differnt story j/k) :) Samuel has always show an interest in all kinds of sports since he was a baby. and those who know him, know that he had better stay active or else you will suffer the wrath of his excessive energy! last summer he played for the Y at 2 1/2 years old and it really was just that PLAY! He ran around with his friends and put soccer cones on his head and made goals in ANY net he could find. We kept him out for the school year and then went back this summer and he is loving it. We plan to keep him in as long as he is having fun.
Sunday Church day (as we try to tell our children) but, better known as DONUT DAY ( if you are good at church and make Jesus happy). Yes, i bribe my children...and yes it is with sugar-coated Krispy Kreme donuts (uh..yeah not DONUT...but ...DONUTS) and strawberry or chocolate milk...(hey, we are keeping with our family tradition ;) )
