I left early to spend the day and catch the boys’ soccer games last weekend. I was greeted at the car by Henry and Eleanor. It warms my heart they get so excited to see me. Inside Emmet presented me with a card that he wrote with his school picture inside. we played some soccer I. The front yard and Eleanor found a giant spider.
We got everyone ready and piled in the car for the games. Henry told us on the way that he planned a sneak surprise move that he and Emmet had worked out while they were going to sleep.
Henry’s game went well. He is a pretty good little soccer player. He knows to not bunch up and got some good kicks on the ball. He played some goalie and had some good stops.
Emmet’s game wasn’t as positive this time and he didn’t play like he usually does because some kid said something mean to him. Also, they had a lot of kids and made a lot of random substitutions.
We had lunch then quiet time which consists of snuggles and cuddles and grandma trying to rest despite Henry’s wiggles.
Then we went bowling. This was a blast! Eleanor used the ramp and the bumpers. She jumped with delight when the ball rolled down the ramp. Henry and Emmet made huge productions of it with a style that ended them on the ground every time and then some pretty awesome little celebrations after each try.
We stepped by Prairy, the health food store and cafe the kids co own. We had dinner and then I went home. I love my visits to Newton.
