Organizing and.....ROADRUNNERS!

Saturday was a pretty eventful day.  Knowing that this was the last weekend before school started we decided to finally tackle the boys' closets by organizing them, getting rid of old clothes, and by just making more room for everything in them.  It started out alright and we finished about 7 hours later, with only one mishap.  We were almost finished with Peyton and Brekken's room when once again we heard screaming (as you can tell this is pretty much the norm around our house.) So we rushed to see what had happened and once again our poor Brynlei was the one injured.  Peyton had been closing the door and her fingers were shut in the jam, only he couldn't figure out why the door wouldn't close and kept on doing it.   So after a quick trip to the hospital to visit Grandpa (once again) and to get an x-ray to make sure it wasn't broken (which thankfully, it wasn't) I returned home with two very swollen fingers and a very sad little girl.  She certainly is one tough little girl (she has to be to be in this house, I just wish that she didn't have to end up getting hurt along with it.)  When that was all taken care of it was back to the dreaded closets... Like I said about 7 hours later..... we were finally ready to start the day (only at 5 PM:))  
We had promised the kids that if they were good this week we would take them to the Roadrunners game on Saturday night. Karter and Traevn had earned 4 free tickets from their summer reading program, so they were super excited that we were finally getting to use them.  So off we all went to the game.  It was really fun!! The mascots kept coming up to where we were sitting and kept the kids pretty much entertained. The kids loved to dance to the music that played over the loud speakers, it was hilarious!!!!  After about 2 hours into it, we decided to take the kids home (by then Peyton and Brynlei were getting tired, plus we have early morning church..) We will definitely have to go to more baseball games, its something that the whole  family enjoys!!
