Something to Do on a Saturday . . .




We really bummed around this weekend. It felt good. Soccer is done! The kids spent a little quality time playing in the back yard (yep, still not finished, but soon, very soon I think - we actually have a plan now). I think they really needed some normal kid time.

We also went and watched M play amtgard (click on the link, I had no idea what it was either . . . ). He really likes going, he likes the exercise, the battling, the making of the "swords" and dressing up all dorky (well, I think it is dorky -hehe). M almost died of shock when I suggested he go this weekend, but seriously, he needed a de-stress time. Having a new baby in the house is hard work and sometimes you just need some play time.

Anyway, it was fun to watch and be outside with the kids. E and J had fun throwing pine cones down the hill and collecting them. It was funny because E used to be deathly afraid of pine cones and now they are no big deal. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. In fact, it is hard to believe, but the new baby is a month old as of tomorrow . . . swoosh, time flies. Here are some pictures of M sparring with some of the other dudes there . . .

All this time I kept saying that M played, but didn't dress up. Opps!

That's cool :) I didn't know what amtgaurd was until about a week ago. There are always people playing it in the park here. I wondered what it was until I saw this article:

Looks like fun!
