Funday Monday! (I know it's Tuesday but it's yesterday's post!)

It was so stinkin' hot outside that I just wanted us to sit in the house and watch cartoons all day yesterday. We didn't though. The boys were supposed to have an "All About Sports" class yesterday thats done through our town's parks and recreation department but I decided not to take them. It's a 4 week program that meets for 45 minutes once a week. We missed the first 2 classes and when we went to the 3rd I was disappointed in how it went (we've done A LOT of classes through parks and rec with a certain instructor and this class had a different person that was really pretty awful and didn't have a clue!). So instead of going to sports class we went to the grocery store and the boys each got a donut! I did get out a fun sprinkler when we got home so the boys could run around and be silly while staying sort of cool (and getting fresh air).

 Jacob didn't want to put his swimming shorts on.

 Zach loved running through it.

 serious fun.

 Jacob finally agreed to put on his swimming shorts...and yes, there are bowls collecting sprinkler water. I have no clue why. The boys asked for bowls for the water so I gave them some.

 Jakey liked bouncing his foot on the side and making the water go up and down. He sort of looked like he was doing the chicken dance.

While we were out playing the boys discovered what Jakey called "a big giant rat." It was actually a mole that the cats must've caught overnight. I used the pooper scooper to toss it over the fence.

I wandered over to our garden while the boys were in the sprinkler...there was oodles of tomatoes.

I think I'll be making some tomato sauce today.

 

Of course, we had soccer again last night too. Luckily, their coach was back so I got to sit on the sidelines (camera in hand) and yell "Jacob!! Pay attention! Get the ball!!!" We finally played a team that was about the same skill level as us (dare I say we were a little bit better?!?!?!) and the kids all seemed to have a really good time.

 He looks into it...

 did you know pirates like soccer?

 running after the ball (well...the ball was probably already down the field)

 He finally got the ball!

 He kicked it down the field!

And apparently one kick is all it takes. I guess we need to work on kicking it down the field. He kicks it one time and then must figure someone else will take over!

Zach and Abby stayed busy playing angry birds while the big boys played soccer...

Aren't they cute?

My sweaty, soccer boy...with oreos on his face and in his teeth.

I guess I'm officially a "soccer mom."
