Work, Party, Basketball and Hosting

That sums up our Saturday! There are two Saturdays I work because they relate to the tutor orientation. Yesterday happened to be one of them. I couldn't stay the whole time though because we had our first basketball game! So, went to work in the morning...came home to get Gavin and the two of us went to his friend, Katie's, birthday party. He made a door knob thing at the arts/crafts area and then they had a tatoo/face painting lady there. She is awesome!!! Well, Gavin got a cool looking snake on his arm that is green and blue. Very cool...will need to take a picture! We had to leave the party early to come home and pick up Ian and Cailean to head over to Morrisville for our first game! Ian was AWESOME!!!! He got some rebounds, made some passes, hustled and made some baskets. We need to work on making sure he doesn't have his hands in his pockets when he waits for the ball sometimes!!!! Anyway, as a coach...I was very excited at how well the kids played! They all said they were having fun!!!!!!! :) Mom and my grandparents were there to cheer on Ian and the Armadillos!

We all came home, had some lunch and then Gavin took a nap. Cailean and Ian started the cleaning frenzy and I was cooking up a storm. Cailean had been talking to Tom and David about venison for a few weeks now and they were eager to try his venison. So, we finally coordinated our calendars and Saturday night worked for everyone. We had venison, chicken, salad, au gratin potatoes and then I made some cookies and pumpkin cream cheese roll cake for dessert. I made the kids pancakes and they sure did eat them up! Then, we went outside and started up the fire pit and the kids toasted marshmallows. It was a great time!!

Enjoy the slideshow!!!!
