The Weekend {Game #8}

This weekend the team traveled to Fort Wayne to take on the #12 St. Francis Cougars (they started the season #2, but lost to the #1 and #2 teams) so no one thought it was going to be an easy task and St. Francis did not disappoint as they beat the Pioneers 47-10.

I stayed home with the kiddos which can sometimes be challenging after staying home with them all week, but this weekend it was a welcome relief.  Most of October is very busy for us as both Kyle and I work 14-16 hour days several days of the week.  I have not gone back to work, but I do have a contract job that is very busy from mid-September through mid-November.  So, this weekend was a nice break and I got to spend lots of quality time with Nora and Sawyer.

On Friday when I got home from work after getting up at 3:00 am I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep, but that wasn't exactly an option with hungry kids who wanted some mommy attention.  So I decided to just relax and be thankful for my time with them.  Here are some things I was thankful for this weekend:

Sawyer said thank you w/out being prompted for the 1st time on Saturday

Being able to stay home with my kids (most of the time)

Nora laughing
