soccer game

B started feeling bad last night - he had a fever and was achy. He was quarantined to the bedroom with strict orders to feel better and to stay away from the girls. I went into single mom mode, which I should stress I'm not very good at - B and I are such a good team. Days like today I realize how much I truly truly appreciate everything he does for me and the girls. We had a really busy day planned and I intended on getting all those errands run!

We started at Cool Cuts 4 Kids to get GG's hair trimmed. She was not happy about it, but she had her first lollipop and sat very still. Annabelle was really good - she played with the train and kept a close eye on her sister. We then ran to REI to get Annabelle a new pair of shoes and to Gymboree for new outfits for our Christmas pictures next weekend. We then headed down to Highlands Ranch for Ryan's soccer game. The girls had a blast watching their cousin play soccer and playing with their cousin Reagan.

Score!Ryan in action. (he's in the white shirt)

the girls have so much fun playing togetherMiss Gwyneth impressed us all with her kicking. She did great. She's a natural. She's our little Pele Meyer! I think Santa may need to bring this little one her very own soccer ball.

The girls and I joined the Loddens, Grandma, and Grandpa Meyer for lunch at Red Robin after the game. It was late! We didn't get seated until about 1:30 and with such a large party we didn't get our food until about 2:00. My girls were so good! They were well past their normal lunch time and well into their normal nap time. They shared a pizza with Reagan and were just loving the time with their family. The girls were during so well after lunch we even hit Costco and did our weekly grocery shopping. Phew! What a full, full day. Neither got a good nap today, they both just slept in the car as we were puttering around. I was so proud of them for being so flexible and keeping up with all our crazy plans for the day.

B's fever broke that afternoon and he was feeling much better. He bounced back fast and the girls were so happy to see him. They are such dadda's girls. A weekend day without their dadda is just no good for them.
