A Week-End Review

And what a weekend it was! Very productive. This past weekend, Carter was in a soccer tournament in St.Charles..ended up having five games and winning his age division...yay! I attended zero games. Terrible, I know. I did, however, get a ton of things accomplished around the house, so I feel pretty good about that. We celebrated Bennett's birthday on Sunday. I worried about the weather all week and am very thankful that it was perfect on Sunday afternoon. The menu was "baseball fare" and we served hot dogs, brats, chips, nachos, cracker jacks, cake, and ice cream. Very easy...didn't even need to turn on my oven. We had 35+ family and friends over with 13 being young kids..it was wild (and loud!). Bennett had a blast and loved all of his gifts.
