September continues to cruise along. We have been staying busy with school, cross country meets, and Elliott is playing soccer right now. There have also been friend birthday parties and sleepovers. It's been crazy.
Two weekends ago, we had a school bonfire at the Polzin's house. All the school families got together at their house and had a meal and then sat around the fire and visited. It was really nice and the kids had a great time playing together. On that Saturday, Elliott had his first soccer game of the fall season. They only had 7 boys, and it is 7 on 7 soccer now, so they had to work really hard and didn't have any subs. But, they won 5-2, so we were pretty proud of them! On Sunday, we had a BBQ at school with the SDSU Ice Cream truck and our bean bag tournament. It was a really fun day, but it was a long one. We didn't leave church until 4:00pm.
This past weekend was another crazy one. Mom and Dad decided kind of last minute that they were going to come and visit so they could see Elliott's soccer game on Saturday morning. So, they came Friday evening. However, both kids were at a sleepover, so it was just Mom and Dad and John and I. So, we decided to go downtown. We took mom and dad to Blarney Stone to eat supper. The food was really good, but the music was plenty loud and it was pretty crowded. After the meal, we headed across the street and got a beer at Fernson Brewery. It was a beautiful evening, so we enjoyed our beer out on the patio. We stayed downtown until around 10:30pm and then finally headed home to bed.
On Saturday, we got some coffee at Scooters, and then headed to Polzins' at 8:00 am to get Elliott. Then we headed to Yankton Trail Park for Elliott's soccer game. Elliott's team had more players this game, but they somehow played worse. They did not do very well, and they lost 6-2, but the boys all had fun and played together, and Mom and Dad got to see Elliott play a soccer game.
After the game, we stopped by Tomczaks to get Emma, and then we headed home for lunch with mom and dad. Then, shortly after lunch Jim and Barb stopped by to pick up the kids for a sleepover at their house since John and I had a wedding to go to later in the day. So, the kids were off again. Mom, Dad, John and I played some sheepshead for a while, and then mom and dad left so John and I could get ready for the wedding.
John's co-worker, Tessa, was getting married. We went to the wedding which was at Looke's Meat Market, and then the reception. It was a very pretty wedding and the food was really good. And we had a good time dancing to the DJ in the evening. We hung out until around 10:00 pm and then we were ready to go home. It was a nice wedding and it was fun to hang out with some of John's co workers.
On Sunday, Jim and Barb brought the kids to church and then we enjoyed the rest of the day at home. We did some grocery shopping, caught up at home, and then relaxed.
This past week has flown by pretty quickly. We had our last cross country meet for the kids on Wednesday, and they both did well. We also had dentist appointments on Wednesday, and everything checked out great.
This weekend is another crazy one. Cody's wedding is tomorrow. So, tonight we are heading to mom and dad's and then tomorrow the wedding is in Fairfax and the reception is in New Ulm. It should be a fun weekend, but sounds like rainy weather is in store for us.
Here's to another wedding weekend!!
