Hadlee, Hays and Harper: Our Weekend

We started out our weekend with softball practice and ended the weekend with softball practice.   Daddy is in the middle of fall ball and we were in town to join in on all the fun.   Friday evening Amy, Brian and Carson were taking pictures at the pumpkin patch.   The kids were scattered between our house and the softball field so we weren't in gear to head to the pumpkin patch so they stopped by after they took pictures.   We ended up having 5 softball players and Amy and Brian eat supper with us, we even had some leftovers. The girls and Mommy were so excited to have Carson doing tummy time in our living room.   Harper was ready with her Baby Tad and couldn't wait to hold Carson.   I didn't get any pictures but I think Amy did of Harper holding Carson.
Saturday was full of softball practice.  We all went to the field in the morning.   I went to walk around the track so the kids could play and watch practice.   I need to get pictures of them in the dugout- they really enjoy it.   In the afternoon Hadlee and I made sugar cookies and she took them up to the players for an afternoon snack.   We grilled pork chops from Ruby and Emily stopped by for a visit. I had to make a trip to the grocery store and I promised the kids I would read to them when I got back.   Daddy made them watch football while I was gone and when I got back Hadlee was already asleep and the other two were trying to stay awake so they could tell me goodnight.   Daddy babysitting at his best!
Sunday morning I decided that we would go to the zoo since we hadn't been all summer long. Hays had no desire to go so he stayed with Daddy and they went to practice.   The zoo was a little freezing, to say the least, but we enjoyed the animals. We went to the butterfly exhibit for the first time, we saw butterflies but they were cold and didn't do much flying.   After a couple hours at the zoo we went to do a little shopping. It was so crowded and not very enjoyable.   We came home to get ready for church and Harper stayed at practice with Daddy.   The kids love going to church with all the TLU students, it makes them feel grown-up. Another reason they like going is you never know what kind of treat they might have after church.   I don't have any pictures of pie night but Hadlee drove the riprider eating her lemon pie and Hays biked while I fed him peanut butter and chocolate ice cream pie. After church we ate supper and watched Amazing Race, our family favorite show.
Monday morning as we were waiting in the car line for drop-off, the white fancy car ran over the cones and into the teacher parking lot.   When the kids got out of the car, Hadlee said that it was one of her classmates.   We talked that it would be better if she didn't say anything to the girl about her mom breaking the rules. Of course after school, Hadlee told me that "A" said her mom didn't run over any cones and that Hadlee didn't know what she was talking about.......

On our way back and forth from the softball field, we always practice a little football.
