SUPER SATURDAY!

I'm not gonna lie, our Saturdays are SUPER busy. We always try to fit in a little bit of everything (I guess we do not want to be outdone by our Fun Fridays-look at our last post) So I thought I would do a picture documentary of this past Saturday. The morning started at 6:30am with a bottle feeding to Dacie (daddy did it, so no picture-zzz's were more important). Ryland cried out not long after that so mommy woke up and could not go back to sleep. I got ready for the LAST soccer games of the season instead. Daddy and Dacie went with Colton to an elementary school in town, and mommy and Ryland went with Sterling to get donuts (for the end of season party), and then to Sedona to get lost trying to find Sterling's field. The trophies are the boys favorite part of the season-Colton (Earthquakes) and Sterling (Supernovas) showing off their grammy's!
We came back to do some work on the house or yard (Daddy had a head start getting back earlier than us). We raked leaves and worked on the 'forgotten' corner of our yard, trying to turn it from a spider haven to a spider heaven!
The boys decided it was such a nice day out that they would bust out one of Sterling's b-day toys from cousin Kayden, and make dinosaur bones in the sandbox.
Saturday afternoon naps are a blessing! I found Sterling asleep like this the other day on my bed. I guess he is trying to block out the world-can you tell what are his knees?
With four heads of hair constantly needing cutting, we could always do a haircut every Saturday-here is 25 dollars worth of hair ($12 a haircut X's 2(Dan and Colton)+ a tip= $25 at least) I cut it in the garage after naps!
After filling our tummies with some dinner-we decided to do something fun as a family to celebrate Sterling's birthday this past week, since he did not have a friend party (we only do parties on the even years). We went to a local ceramic store called serenity ceramics in town and each picked out and painted one item! Here is the birthday boy with his fairy!
Ryland opted for the monkey in shades of yellow and pink! woohoo!
Colton and his dragon! We were so happy to have discovered this place that is reasonably priced-it is going to be a future date night for sure. The boys are anxiously awaiting pick up next week after their ceramics get baked!
Shhh! The kids are in bed, daddy quickly slips to some game time! and mommy.....

to her crafts. This is the two bows I made for Dacie-a Thanksgiving one and one to match a cute outfit (from Aunt Kerri).
There was only one casualty to a day of fun~My finger! My glue gunning techniques have much to be desired (anyone know how to glue ribbon besides a hot hot glue gun?). Check out the blister (which looks allot whiter and puffy today!). Who said mom's aren't tough? Then is was off to bed, and we slept as hard as we played today! Saturdays are SUPER because we get to do allot of things we normally don't get too, and we have Dan the man at our side!
