Baseball, Flag Football and S'mores



We started our day with a ballgame. Chase had a baseball game this morning. We all trekked to the field in the cold and damp weather. He played well and showcased his slide into home with a huge grin on his face. Next up was Macie's final flag football game of the season. This is her second season playing and she loves it. She is the only girl on the team but she definitely holds her own. Today she even knocked down a pass! After that, Chase had his flag football practice, his game is tomorrow. The boys got much needed haircuts. I'm sure their dad would have preferred it shorter but I let them keep it a little shaggier since that's how they like it! The day ended up being crisp and clear. We spent the evening playing in the yard and grilling. We had cheeseburgers, grilled veggies and grilled bananas. We topped the night off with a fire in our fire pit with their favorite dessert, s'mores. The kids started out telling scary stories but after Owen got spooked(mostly my fault!) we switched to funny ones. Chase, in his usual fashion, kept us laughing with a crazy story. We tucked them all in, they are having a sleepover in the boys' room. Macie is snuggled in her sleeping bag in between their beds. I am so glad they still enjoy doing this. I know it won't be much longer until she thinks she's too grown up to sleep with them. For now, it's sweet and they all have so much fun.
