The girls and I have had a wonderful weekend so far :) On Friday night, Elisabeth went to a birthday party and I went out for pizza with a friend (Patty) and Bella. On Saturday, we went out to breakfast with that same friend and then over to Elisabeth's soccer game. Patty looked after Isabella while I got to watch the game (I never get to do that as I am always following Bella around on the nearby playground). This game was very important to E. because she was going up against 2 of her friends/enemies (depending on the day). They kept telling her they were going to win....but WE DID!!!! YEAH!!! And...she played goalie for the first half, which she was dreading to do. Todd is always there co-coaching but because he was away, she faced this all on her own. She was beyond thrilled but promises not to gloat in school tomorrow. Right now, their team has not lost one game!! Last night, after a few hours of napping, we went to church. I LOVE the Saturday night service at our church-very quiet and laid back. Elisabeth helped out in Isabella's class and I got to sit and listen. He talked about the Sabbath and how it should be a day of rest, as God intended, and how everyone is trying to micro-manage their lives and get ahead. It was a really great sermon. After, the girls and I went out for sandwiches and then home to snuggle :)
The one great thing about this weekend is that Elisabeth really missed Todd. Growing up, they were not especially close as I was always there and never really gave them the chance to bond. With Isabella, our time is split. She really doesn't have a preference and is more than willing to stay with Todd or run to the store with him. However, when I am with her...Elisabeth has time to spend with Todd and it has been great. Soccer has really helped, too. She actually cried yesterday when he wasn't there to help her out at soccer. She called him on the phone and got a pep talk from him-which is unheard of! After the game, he was the first one she called. It really meant the world to her and was absolutely wonderful to see.
Now we are going to honor God and sit in our pjs all day:) We might, however, take a trip to the mall but that is only 2 minutes away and won't exert too much energy!!!
