Weekend

I had a very busy weekend and am going to be dragging all week!

It started on Friday. Braden built his first Pine Derby Car for Cadets and they raced them on Friday night. He was very proud of his car but pretty bummed he didn't get a trophy. Jamie and I told him that we were proud of him that he did everything on his own! The counselors helped him cut it out (power tools and 9 year old is not a good combo!) but Braden designed it, sanded it, and painted it on his own.

After we got done with that we went to Scooters (bar and grill in New Sharon) and met up with a bunch of friends to celebrate Jamie's b-day. It was a lot of fun and we didn't get home until 12:30. I am surprised I didn't lose my hearing or voice that night..a band was playing and it was a little loud (listen to me..I am so old!)

I was up at 7 on Saturday for some crazy reason and Emma and I headed up to Des Moines with her best friends Lyddia and Karlee and their moms. The 3 girls went to a dance clinic for the Energy Basketball dancers. They learned a dance from 12-2. We then hung out until the game that night. Jamie and the rest of the boys from the other families met us for the game and to watch the girls shake their groove thing between the 1st and 2nd period. The kids had a blast at the game and were super excited that Energy won the game by 2 points in the last 4 seconds..whoo hoo! Braden and his friend Levi were enjoying watching the Energy Dancers..oh yeah, Jamie was enjoying that also! We finally got home around midnight on Saturday night.

I was then up around 8:30 this morning and had to head to New Sharon to help with a fund raising brunch. Finally got home around 2 and really wanted to take a nap, but of course I can't sleep.

I really hope next weekend is quiet.
