Friday!  We made it through a whole week of school and it feels great.

This morning Owen and I got to meet his new kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Ybright (Why-bright).  She seems so nice and her classroom looks so fun.  Owen is super excited.  We got to play on the playground a little while I chatted to the other mom.  Owen "play" punched his friend, who then came and told his mom.  I was kind of embarrassed and had to have a little talk with Owen about not even "play" fighting!  It was funny.  Owen is just so used to being rough.  Oh boy!

After school, we had nine kids playing at our house!  I made all of them go outside and Austin and his friends sprayed the hose all over each other on the basketball court.  They were having a great time when it was time to go to his football practice.

It makes me feel so good to know that my kids are being active and playing outside.  So I decided to take Owen and Lance down to the park for practice too.  And I had the bright idea to play at the park in 100-degree weather! Ha!  But I knew there was a splash pad, I just didn't think about how hot I would be.  Owen and Lance had the best time.  At the end, I sprayed my water bottle on Lance's head and he thought that was the best thing ever.  He just kept saying over and over, "Hey, Mom, put water on my head!" (He said it maybe a thousand times!!) It was so, so cute!

"Hey, Mom, put water on my head!"

Owen and Lance :)

It is the first Friday night of the school year and that means High School Football!  Emma was going with her friends to the game, so Greg decided to take Julia and Austin and go to the game too.  I put the little boys to bed and let Miles watch "Doctor Strange."  Miles LOVED the movie.  I climbed into bed and did some writing and some reading.  I was SO tired when they all got home (I know, "tired" is my theme song).

Emma and her friends came back to the house, and I was happy about that, but I was anxious to get up before 5 a.m. for my long run in the morning.  I finally fell asleep and left it up to Greg to secure the premises for the night.  :)  It had been a great day!
