Weekend Wrap-Up

All week Mattie says, "when is my ball game"? I reply with, "it's on Saturday (free day) baby". Everyday this conversation takes place reiterating the fact that she is SO EXCITED for the upcoming "Big Game" as she calls it. So picture this, Saturday morning, Mattie is up at 6:00am saying, "when is my ball game"? I reply with, "we will leave in 2 hours". She replies with, "how many Hannah Montana's is that?" I say "4". She is good with that and proceeds to put her uniform on and her cleats and visor and is ready for "The Big Game". Mom, dad and baby are all decked out in our T-Ball attire about to go out the door when the phone rings. It's coach, she has bad news, game is cancelled due to water standing on the field from the rain the night before. WHAT???? How am I going to tell the little girl that has been looking forward to this day for a whole week? So I tell her and her daddy the bad news. Both of them, (daddy more than daughter), were SO disappointed. You could see all the joy and excitement turn into doom and despair. It was a sad moment at The Boyett household. Matt and I look at each other, what on earth do we do now? We do what any other American Family would do, we head to Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is the only place open at this time of morning. We were greeted by floor polishers, and boxes of stock in the isles. It was a weird feeling being there so early. But, we managed to do some damage and spend more money than we should have. So we head home and by this time it had warmed up a bit and the kids were able to play outside...which they LOVE!
We grilled burgers and dogs. Clint, Amy and Emily came over and we had a good time visiting with each other.
Sunday was our usual Church/Posey routine. Mattie had swim lessons, which by the way, she is doing awesome. She can swim underwater. I can't believe how far she has come in 4 lessons. It is amazing!
Here we go, another week of "when is my game?", "it's 6,5,4,3,2,1 day away, baby." I really hope it doesn't get cancelled.
