good game gone bad

ummmmmm, bram's first soccer game didn't go well. at all. seems bram is a bit of a primadonna. he would just walk off the field in the middle of playing with a slew of complaints. a few examples being he "was thirsty" or "too tired" or "nobody will give me the ball" or "i fell down."

he finished the game sitting in my chair balled up in a fetal position crying.

honestly, it was one of my proudest moments as a parent.

this is the only picture we have of the soccer game. there are no pictures of him playing since he barely played. and a picture of him having a temper tantrum in his uniform during his game just doesn't count.

after the super fun soccer game we had lunch, napped and then it was time for a mini birthday celebration for tess. her real party is this thursday but she needed to celebrate with gran-t, uncle bryan and aunt sara.

so homemade spaghetti and cupcakes!! and i know it looks like my kids had no clothes on again, but to my defense, i had to strip them down for spaghetti.

the evening wrapped up with my brother getting into the kids jungle gym and swinging bram around. i really have never laughed so hard. he was being whipped around so fast.

we are kind of an odd family. see how bram's feet are flailed out, the kid was flying!

all in all it was a wonderful weekend.

i just hope i don't see anyone from the soccer fields for a few more days. i'm afraid.
