I hate Drama.....

It has been a kinda nuts week.  As far as water polo goes, it's been a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs.  The kids are awesome - and practices have been awesome!  They are learning and improving and doing amazing and I'm so proud of them!  But the Oregon HS water polo board made some mistakes that really hurt our team, and instead of fixing them and making it right, they are letting it stand and hurting our players in the process.  It's incredibly frustrating and on top of that, their mistakes meant we might not have a team.  Thankfully by the end of the week, we got some good news that lifted everyone's spirits - Abby has been cleared to play less than 2 weeks after surgery - which is more than we ever could have imagined possible and we are so excited that things are going so well!  

We have mostly taken it easy this week - we had meet the teacher nights for James and David and I think it really helped them both to get more excited and less nervous about the start of a new school year.  Plus, they both got ice cream at each of the schools.  

These sweet silly boys wanted to pretend to be asleep and have me take a picture of them, how could I help it when they are so cute!  At least between the bickering they are.  

On Saturday, Parkrose Water polo had been cancelled, so we decided to get all the kids who were home (Evie had band all day) and went to the Celtic and Fantasy Faire in Hillsboro.  The kids all had a fun time.  Eileen especially enjoyed getting to spend some of her hard earned money on some fun things.  

After the fair, we had some friends over for a back to school bbq.  We had fun eating and chatting!  It was a lot of fun!  Anna and Aaron went out to Tillamook for a dance with friends, Evelyn just had her friends over to party at our house, and I went to open polo!  

Sunday was busy, but wonderful!  The ward choir sang today and did an amazing job!!!  They are so talented and it's such a joy to make music with them!  

After church, we headed over to Sandi's for her annual birthday party, we had fun playing games and eating snow cones and cake.  Sandi's boyfriend James also got us a couple new games, so we had fun trying one of them out tonight!  

Eileen discovered that the floof fits in her snuggie pocket.  LOL - this picture is just so cute!
