Yesterday was one of those days. I just wanted it to be a productive day and I was not productive. When I wanted the kids to sleep they didn’t sleep. When I thought I would be able to get the dishes done Cali wanted to be held. The house was just a disaster and it stayed that way and progressively got worse instead of better. Looking back it wasn’t that bad but by the time Ben got home last night I was done. I don’t do it often but I requested a break. We had a quick Family Home Evening and then Dad took the kids to get a treat and I took myself to buy some new pants – that always helps! I actually found pants that I like!! So I came home happy. And the sweetest part was my little Benji – they had gone to get icecream at Maceys but Benji was worried that I wouldn’t get any so instead of getting a soft serve cone Benji made sure to get the kind that we could bring home so that I could eat some too! How thoughtful. He is our sensitive child for sure. Today is already a much better day and my house is in much better condition – NOt clean but better. We are playing with Mia and Luca today while Michelle and Udine are out on the town – Happy Birthday Michelle!

Benji had his first soccer game on Saturday! Ben is coaching his team. His cousin Julia is on the team and Uncle Pete is the assistant coach. I thought I was getting some great shots of his first game BUT there was no card in the camera – so I will not make the same mistake this Saturday. I do have a picture of his first practice that will have to work for now. Benji loved his first game. If you ask him about it he will tell you that he almost kicked it 2 times! He mostly watched the pack run around but he was having fun so that is what matters for now.
