Saturday with the Toppes

Michael had drill this past weekend so I packed up the kids and headed down to the Toppe's. Lucas had a soccer game in the morning. I love to watch him play and he is getting quite good. Of course I hope he continues with it, but I am partial to the sport. It was kind of cold and raining on and off so I had to take the kids back to the car and unfortunately couldn't watch the end of the game. After the game we headed to the YMCA for the healthy kids day. Basically there were a bunch of booths set up in the gym, giving out pamphlets of information. Nate loved the booth that gave balloons and so that, and the bouncy house, kept him entertained. Jaime had a booth for the foundation and I knew the kids wouldn't make it to the end, so Jeremy and I took them home early. By this time, the sun had come out and it turned out to be a beautiful day. They have power wheels and Nate is not used to driving them at all. He doesn't steer and just presses down on the peddle until he runs into something, usually a tree. Then one of us would have to help back him out. Nate just loves it out there and it will be nice when Maddie is old enough to run around too (that way she doesn't have to be held by Aunt Jaime the whole time and Jaime won't get bitten the whole time).
