Second Soccer Game and the rest of the weekend

This past weekend Caroline had her second soccer game of the season.  Her game last weekend was rained out, meaning that it was two full weeks in between her games.  I was so worried that she wouldn't want to play after the long break...and I was right.  As soon as she woke up she said she was just going to watch the game.  She cried when we got there but after a little encouragement (and a toy store bribe) she perked up and played the game like a champ.  She actually KICKED the ball in the game!!!!  We were all so excited!  She even said that she wants to make a goal in the next game.

A little pep talk from daddy helped a lot.

One of the moms brought doughnuts for the kids after the game.  She was very excited about that!!

Friday and Friday evening I was sick.  I felt better on Saturday and we went to the soccer game.  By the time we got home, Ann Parker had a fever.  Poor baby literally slept all day.  I can't seem to keep everyone well at the same time lately.  Since our little bit was under the weather, we decided to have a low key night at home and watch the Alabama game...especially since we had a super exciting Sunday planned!!  We all woke up on Sunday and went to have doughnuts and then got ready for the Magic City Miracle.  MCM is a community wide day of service.  There were several projects going on that day.  The four of us plus some of our favorite friends, the Paulks, went to go visit five different fire stations to bring goodie baskets and thank the firefighters for all the work they do for our city.  All eight of us loaded up into a 15 passenger van (loading and unloading four carseats was no easy task) and went around the city.  It was so much fun!  The girls got to climb inside a firetruck and see all the neat fire things in the stations.  I don't have pictures from the day except for a couple of cell phone pics but I will try to get some!

Sorry for the horrible picture!!  This is C sitting in the driver seat of the fire truck.  She had such a fun time.  I think we may buy a 15 passenger van so we can always ride around with our friends!!
