St Patrick's Weekend

A couple of Saturday's ago, the Brasher's were in town.  I always get a picture of the Samuels.  This time they did a selfie.... Hello Samuels.

Sam heard about Josie getting adopted and immediately started work on this crocheted blanket. He finished it at the baby blessing.  Proud of your work Sam and even more proud of your sweet and serving heart.

My parents dropped off St Patrick's Day donuts while we were out and about.  The kids loved them and I loved that they still think about me even as a middle aged momma.

This is my burn.... We were late for Evelyn's ballroom performance and I'm supposed to eat before 7pm.  I tried to open the pressure cooker before it was done venting.  It's only a first degree and I have an aloe plant for just such occassions.  It hurt horribly the first night but it's been fine since then. Now it's about a third of the size and is a brown color instead of red.

Sam's new soccer season.  Their team won and Sam played hard.  Enzo joined his team and I'm pretty excited.  Enzo is Sam's friend, Ian's, cousin that's here for a year or two to learn English.  They've been getting to know each other at church and school.... now they're on the same team.  That will be fun.

Seth also had his first game.  He was stoked that their team also won. He likes to play defense and accidentally blocked the ball with his face this time.  He exclaimed, "I blocked the ball with my face!  Like Scott Sterling!"

We cleaned out our game/puzzle closet.  In one day, Evelyn did three 500 piece puzzles and Seth did a 100 piece one that he'd forgotten that he had.  They got stuck on a more challenging one that's still sitting on the kitchen table a couple days later.  Maybe I'll help out on that one.
