Loooong weekend!!

What a great long weekend it was! Today seems like Monday to me! So Friday I ran a few errands in the morning, picked up the boys from school, school got out at 11:30, then we met Mom & Dad for lunch & the boys went home with them for a little while. Where Dawson got a black eye! He & Lucas were goofing off & Lucas was chasing Dawson & he ran into Mom & Dad's over the toilet rack.  Then we headed down to Bryan & Beth's to have dinner with them & let the kids play. Michael wasn't feeling well so we didn't stay real long.
Saturday we had a day full of basketball. Games at 10:00, 11:00, 2:00 & 6:00. Lucas had been very hesitant to play basketball, he has very little confidence in himself & wanted to quit very early on. We ended up decided to give me a little motivation...cash! LOL! At first I said $1.00 for every time he touched the ball, I later added $5.00 for every "box out," Michael had to one up me & told him $50.00 for every basket.  So he was playing his little heart out on Saturday knowing it was his last chance to make some money! All he wanted all season was to make a basket. So last game, 4 minutes left in the game, he catches a rebound, there was a foul called & he had to shoot 2 free throws. I think you could of cut the tension in that gym with a knife! Just about everyone knew that he hadn't made a basket yet, so everyone was rooting for him! The first shot hit the rim & bounced off. The second shot was like slow motion! The ball literally bounced back & forth in the rim before falling out. :( There was an audible sigh through out the gym. I was so afraid he would be upset that he missed it. After the game he made a straight shot to me & was talking so fast I could hardly catch it all, but this is what I got: DID YOU SEE THAT? I WAS SO NERVOUS, I THINK YOU OWE ME LIKE $65.00 & I WANT TO PLAY EVERY SPORT THERE IS NOW MOM!!  So needless to say he wasn't upset! He was just excited he even got to shoot free throws! So basketball is officially over which means it is now time for baseball! LOL! After the game we stopped by Carolyn & Mike's so the boys could have a red cupcake with Faith because she was staying the night & wanted to see "my kids!" LOL!
Sunday we woke with every intention on visiting a new church. We woke, had breakfast & when I looked up what time church started we were not going to be able to make it on time, so we headed outside. We played basketball, flew kites & cleaned out the garage. It was a beautiful day to be outside!
Monday, we didn't do a lot. The boys took off outside to ride their scooters before it started raining. I did some housework. We ended up going to lunch with my mom at Bob Evans & went to Wal Mart for a few things. That was my weekend, it wasn't that eventful but I loved all the time with Michael & the boys! Oooooh & a 17 Day Diet update: as of today Michael is down 3.8lbs & I am down 6.8lbs!
