So let's start off with Michael's first YSML meeting of the year. They went to Christian Brother's Automotive to learn how to take care of their cars from checking the oil to changing the tires. I'm not sure how much Michael got out of the experience, but I was glad for him to get out of the house and be around fellow high school kids.
Mark helped Olivia celebrate her birthday at the park with sparklers. This was his first experience with sparklers and I was a lot nervous about it. He loved it, of course! We also did wish lanterns, which was a cool idea, but I couldn't help thinking that the lantern would fall somewhere and cause a huge fire.
Mark and I attended a Mother/Son Night at his school. It was suppose to be a color run but it rained so they couldn't do it! I am not gonna lie - I did a little dance because the thought of getting colored powder thrown all over me is not my idea of fun. It would have been really messy. So instead, we played dodgeball and a few other indoor games. Mark had a blast. I had fun too!
The next night, we went to the Kidz Bop concert with Sydney and Carter. We drove to the Toyota Music Factory complex and tried to go to dinner at the Yard House. Big mistake - the wait was way too long. Fortunately, we found another restaurant that could seat us immediately. BONUS - It was still happy hour. Mark had a Shirley Temple for the first time and loved it. He pretended that it was a sangria. I think I may have ordered too many sangrias around him. Haha...
These two were really into it...look at the concentration on their little faces!
We finally got a soccer game in for Mark last weekend! They have not played or practiced for the last 3 weeks so we were ready to see some action. It was a really fun game to watch. The kids were actually playing soccer and passing the ball to each other instead of just trying to kick the ball. Mark scored the first goal. And, for the first time ever, everyone on the team scored at least a goal and had a least 3 assists. Coach asked for a raise. The parents agreed and tripled his salary which came out to be $0.
Those were our September highlights! October is going to be another busy month and I'm just so happy that the weather is getting cooler. Fall is my favorite season here and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.
