Week 5 Day 6 - Wednesday, June 18th - R/O Soccer and games!

This morning Arnold headed off early to work again to meet us at Soccer for supper. The boys and I hung out for a bit until they really really wanted to go and see Nana and Papa’s bus (sorry guys!). They booked it over there and found Nana still in bed. We sat and visited for a bit then I got the boys to come over to our trailer and get dressed while Nana did the same thing and Papa got breakfast ready. Nothing but the best for our boys (bacon and eggs). They were so excited! It also helped that we brought out the kites for that morning. There seemed to be just enough wind to make them get off the ground. Kyler had so much fun! We had bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast. RIGHT before we had breakfast mom hurt her back. This sucked! She was now a bit more limited to what she could do. We all had breakfast then the boys went into the bus to hang out for a bit. Once we were done (BTW we ate late so this is around 9:30 or so) I went and finished getting ready and we took Nana to Shoppers Drug Mart to get some things she needed for the trip over the boarder!

While we were there we also picked up some things for supper that night. Our goal (Auntie Kristina and mine) is to have a ‘sub’ night every Wednesday before the games. I was hoping to get some serious food figured out but with the weather playing ticks (raining and looking bad all day). We got the buns and some chips and a few other things then off we went home. We played for a bit more then had some lunch (sandwiches and popcorn ending with homemade cookies from Nana). Once lunch was over the boys and I headed back to the trailer and it was nap time. They needed to sleep before going to soccer.

I spent most of nap time doing some serious looking online about the weather, calling the soccer office (that didn’t do anything for those reading), and checking to see what was going on. I finally called the coach and she told me she wasn’t bringing her daughter (she didn’t want her to get sick) but was coming herself.

We left around 4:15pm or so and headed out. We stopped at the Library to pick up 2 new books and 2 new movies for the kids. Then we drove over to McDonalds by the park and had a nice relaxed supper. Arnold met us there and had lots of time to get changed and get ready for a wet game. We left in what would have been a fine ‘normal’ time but because no one was on the field do to rain it was super early. We got K dressed for his game and waited. Eventually we got out of the car (like 2 to 3 minutes before it should have started) and my dad, who can talk to anyone, ended up having the main coach from the opposite team talk to him. He said let’s call it due to rain and so we did. We packed up and left as did everyone else there.

I felt so bad for my parents. They came to see a game and it got rained out! We stopped and got some milkshakes and headed back home. We had a great games night instead! It was a lot of fun. Arnold and I found all our rainy day games and brought them to the Bus and we played them there. We brought the kids back to go to sleep around 8:30pm or so.

Arnold and I stayed up and were watching an episode on my computer when we got a text saying to call my mom. It turns out their trip the next day that they thought would take 4 hours would take 8 hours. They had to leave super early. So we wouldn’t get to have breakfast with them but that’s ok.

We headed off to sleep shortly after to the sound of rain.
