The Weekend

So, I got a taste of single parenting this weekend. Marc spent the weekend at Flathead Lake with some buddies so I was on my own. Naturally, Megan and Kellan were both invited to birthday parties, the boys needed haircuts, my house needed some serious attention, I needed some groceries, and Megan and Kellan both had soccer games. I was kinda stressed about getting all of this done, and my kids must have sensed that because they were perfect little angels all weekend. I keep waiting for them to go back to bickering and whining....so far, so good...

On Friday night we went to Target to do some birthday gift shopping and then we met Grandpa and Grandma McCauley at Pizza Hut for dinner. After dinner I took the boys to Great Clips to get haircuts. We got up pretty early Saturday morning and the kids helped me clean our house. Kellan even cleaned the basement for me! We ate a quick lunch and then I took Kellan to his party and Megan to her party. Jacksen and I came home and finished laundry and took a little rest. Then we picked up Megan, stopped by the store for a few things and joined Grandpa and Grandma McCauley (who had picked up Kellan for me) for dinner. We got home with just enough light outside to feed the horses. This morning we met Aunt Ami and Cody and Morgan for breakfast at the Donut Hole. Cody and Morgan watched the kiddos while Ami and I went grocery shopping. Then the kids and I rushed home to put away groceries, eat a quick lunch and change into soccer gear for the afternoon games. Kellan played at 1:00 and Megan played at 3:30...we had some time to kill in between games to we cooled off with some ice cream at Dairy Queen. We got home at 5:00....the kids took showers while I made dinner....and then, because I felt like I hadn't done enough all weekend, I mowed the lawn. Whew!

And, speaking of soccer games, Megan and Kellan both played awesome today! Kellan scored a hat trick and Megan scored two goals against the toughest team in her league! I am so proud of them!

Well, I am too tired to type anymore....it's only 8:18, but I am going to bed!
