Following the Reddings: Weekend Wrap-Up

We had a pretty low key weekend. It started with Christopher's soccer class where he had his first scrimmage - boys against girls. It was so much fun to watch. I only wish I had a video to share here, but Dad hasn't mastered watching and filming. All his shots were of the ground or wall because he was having such a great time watching. However, I do have an old video of Christopher kicking the ball around at soccer class.

The activities after soccer usually entail Dad and Mikayla taking a nap.

And Christopher watching a movie.

Our good friend Burns came over which always means wings for Dad.

And some grilling. This is a rib-chop and a new recipe I tried out for bacon-roasted cheesy potatoes.

Christopher also played a little outside.

And played in the "mud" (mulch). This was also about the time that he made a deal with me. It went something like this. Mom: Christopher why don't you hang out with me and your sister in the kitchen for a little bit. Christopher: Mom, I'll take my milk upstairs and drink it and then I'll come back down, that's the DEAL, Mom - you know that! Mom: A little speechless.

There was also a little nannana boo-boo going on.

On Sundays, Christopher and I always go to the store together. This time we ventured all the way downtown and saw some really, really tall buildings to go to Whole Foods. Christopher mainly goes on these trips with me for the free samples, however we got there too early. He then let me know as we were leaving that he was not scared of the escalator anymore and next time he would ride on it. We also got to see where dad worked - the place with all the flags.
