A Day in the Life - Saturday Edition

My alarm went off Saturday at 6:40am. The first thing I did was check the weather....

Jaxen woke up not longer after that, and we got ready for Jaxen's flag football tournament. I am sporting maroon in support of Jaxen's team - the Rockets.

We were out the door by 7:20am. (We left Nik and Zane sleeping at the house.) 

It was cold, but all the boys played their best! There was not any complaining about the cold - they just went out on the field, had fun, and WON! Jaxen even got 2 flag pulls - I was so proud of him!!!!

Nik overslept and missed the game (because Zane turned his alarm off - ha!) but they got ready and met us for breakfast with Brooks and his family. Zane chose his outfit for the day :)

Full bellies, hot coffee/tea, and we were ready for game #2! 

This game did not go as well as the first - they played a pretty tough team. They did their best, but lost, and that was the end of the tournament and season. I was so proud of Jaxen for trying something new, learning, and giving it his best - especially in the last few games!

By 12:15pm we were on the road, running errands. First up, air in our tires. Second, a QT treat for our favorite Rockets football player (and the rest of us). Third, a birthday present for a neighbor kid. Then, shoe shopping (because someone always needs shoes - this time it was me!). 

After that we were on the hunt for gloves for Jaxen...and did not find any that will work (yet). While Nik and Jaxen were looking in one store for gloves, Zane and I went to Hobby Lobby. Zane loves Hobby Lobby almost as much as me. 

I want all these cute things in my kitchen. Stat!

We were home by 3:15pm. I put the boys to work, doing chores. Nik took a nap and I started dinner. Tacos for the boys and Queso Taco Soup for me!

By 5:20pm the boys were dressed in their Halloween Costumes (SWAT costumes for the win) and having fun taking a few pics!

We picked up Brooks soon after and headed to our church's Trunk-or-Treat!

They had some wonderful trunks! It was cold...but everyone had a good time.

 

 

We then warmed up by the fire and enjoyed some S'mores before heading home.

We were home by 7pm and I was finally sitting down to enjoy my soup while Nik watched football. And after the boys went to bed, Nik made delicious chocolate chip cookies!

And that was our Saturday! 

Now that football is over and the cold weather has arrived I am hoping our days are filled with more time on the couch, hot beverages, crafts and playing games!
