Co-op & Soccer & Derby, Oh My

Yesterday was a crazy fun day!

First we had Friday school in the morning. It was a great day and I was glad to be back teaching again!

Andy can really jump!

Friday afternoons are our soccer games in Vancouver and we have to leave shortly after co-op to get there. Thankfully Will made ricotta-stuffed pasta shells in his cooking class so we had a really yummy and filling lunch.

I missed the boys first game so it was fun to finally see them play a real game. They play really well! Will even took a turn at playing goalie. Grandpa and Grandma took advantage of the not-rainy weather to come and watch them play, too.

Then right after soccer we had to rush back home to race in the First Annual First Class Pinewood Derby. We were a little late but thankfully it takes a long time to race 58 cars in a double-elimination race for the first time. The race was a little long (2 and a half hours) but the kids had fun and it was great to watch them encourage and cheer one another on.


Zack and Andy both took 3rd place in their divisions, which is pretty good considering the only thing they did to their cars were to paint them and put on the wheels. But the most important thing was that they all had fun!

Wow! What a busy but fun day! You guys have so much energy! I'm glad the boys had fun racing their cars - 3rd place is pretty good considering how many entered!

Happy Anniversary! (A bit late!) What a cute photo of you two. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Take care and have a blessed week!

Congratulations to the boys for doing so well. I guess you always find that spectating can be pretty tiring too.
Blessings,
