Weekends Go By Too Fast

Our weekend began with a good ol' Husky football game. Matt's varsity team is 3-1 and looking really good! They have steam rolled over their last three opponents by a large margin. Kelsey and I even got to stay for the entire game since the weather cooperated. Kelsey did a great job during the game and Daddy was glad to have his #1 fan in the stands :) After the game, we celebrated with the other coaches and their spouses with a post game party.

Saturday mornings are always busy for Matt because he has to watch game film to critique Friday night's game and also watch the upcoming opponent to prepare. He also runs a youth football camp for first and second graders. So after all that was finished, we headed up to the cities to spend the afternoon with my family. It has become a Smith family tradition to go to an apple orchard every fall. We have chosen a different orchard each time, and this time we went to one in Apple Valley. It was fun picking apples and watching all the kids do the same. However, it was very hot out and we were all pretty warm by the time we were done. I spent most of the time trying to hide Kelsey in any shade we could find. After the orchard, we went to my sister Jolene's house to have dinner and make apple pies. Although I did bring my camera to take pictures, we ended up using our video recorder instead.

On Sunday, we went to church and Kelsey slept like a champ during mass. Later that afternoon, our great friends, the Malo's, came over to visit Kelsey and spend some time with us. After that, we went out to dinner to celebrate Matt's sister's and mom's birthday. Sunday evening is always unwinding time and getting ready for the week.

I have been starting to think more and more about the fact that my maternity leave is slowly coming to an end, and I will be back to work before I know it. Ugh! Although I do love being a teacher, staying home with Kelsey sure sounds like a better idea. I guess I will just have to start buying lottery tickets! Wish me luck!
