Weekend fun

I love weekends. Brandon started his soccer season on Saturday. His team is the Panthers. This is his third season and he's a pretty good little player. He didn't score any goals. His team lost miserably--I think it was like 7 to 1. But, he played well and had fun.

Go, Brandon!
I don't know why they played with a pink ball.
And we didn't get his uniform until we showed up
at the game, so I didn't realize how bad he'd clash.

He's also kind of the class clown of the group.
He likes to be silly on the field to try to make his
teammates laugh. It worked.

Thanks to Greg and Nicolle, we were able to get the patio set we were looking at a couple weeks ago. We LOVE it.

Here it is!
This umbrella was the wrong one, so
we took it back but they were out of the
one we wanted, so hopefully we can get
that soon.

The weather this weekend was SO beautiful that we have eaten out here three times already. I love hearing the birds chirp in the trees and feeling the sun warm us as we eat.

Here are my cute boys getting ready to eat
our Saturday lunch tradition--tuna.
Do you think Brandon and Andrew look a lot alike?
I've heard this comment from a few people lately.

What about me and Whit?
Does she look like me?

For our Saturday night date, we went to the dollar movies to watch Pursuit of Happyness. Have you seen that? What did you think? *warning* spoilers ahead. It was very stressful for me. But not the good kind of stress, like LOST. I kept wondering if there was some huge bill that I forgot to pay and they were going to foreclose on our house. Or what would I do if Andrew died and I had to support the kids on my own? I was tense the whole time. I knew what the movie was about, but I thought we'd get to see at least a LITTLE bit of them enjoying the benefits of all his hard work. It ends abruptly after Chris gets the job. On the other hand, it was very memorable. I feel like it will stick with me. AND it made me grateful for every comfort of life that I enjoy. I am SO glad that I have never had to spend the night on the floor of a subway bathroom.

I have to give my obligatory BOO to the change for daylight savings. We were all so tired today. Brandon even took a nap, which he never does anymore. I DO love the extra daylight, just wish we could stay on this schedule year round.

Andrew woke up with a migraine this morning and missed church. He slept all morning. Can I blame that on the time change, too? He's feeling better this evening, but says he still has a brain cloud.
