A Very Busy Saturday

 Have you ever had a Saturday that you knew would be very busy, but then turns out to be even more eventful than planned?  Today Brady had a piano contest at 10:30, which went extremely well, but we won't get his full score sheet until Monday.  We had a hour and a half to kill before Gideon was due at soccer, so we stopped at the bagel shop for lunch.  About half way through Brady's bagel he said, "My tooth fell out!"  Sure enough, the tooth that had been wiggling for just a few days fell right out during a bite of bagel sandwich!

Then we went to the soccer fields and found out we were supposed to be taking team pictures that I had completely forgotten about, so we rushed over to take pictures, made it there in time and then started the game.  Usually Gideon likes to just run around with the group of kids chasing the ball and doesn't really care too much about whether he even kicks it or not, but all of the sudden today he caught the soccer bug for just long enough to dribble all the way down the field and score a goal!  Yay!  He was so proud!  Although, from this picture, you would never guess this kid came anywhere close to the goal!

Outtakes

My friend, Lesli, and I took our kids, her twin girls and my two boys plus my hubby, out to take pictures that would hopefully work for Christmas cards this year.  If you've ever done this with your own kids, then you are already laughing.  We took a few that may work, but more than anything we have outtakes.

I call this one "The Silence is Deafening".

"Jazz Hands"

Someone should have told me I was raising a rapper.  I would have done some things differently!

Yum!  This stagnate water tastes so good!

Something about this picture stinks...or maybe Brady's the only one who can smell it.

This one is both sad and funny.  It's a very cute picture of Brady, but if you look in the background, poor Gideon is about to face plant down the stairs!  Luckily, he walked away with nothing, but a small scrape on his knee.

This one is just so Gideon!

To Blog or Not to Blog

That IS the question.  It seems like everyone is blogging these days.  I'm not sure I have the time or the patience to blog, but I'll give it a try.  Here goes...
