Sporty Saturday

Saturday morning dawned cold and rainy.  We had planned to go to an Easter Egg hunt at my work, but when we saw the weather and rain, we decided to stay home in our PJs, have pancakes for breakfast and play.  

Liam got a pot with seeds in his goody bag at preschool.  It came with a dirt puck that you just added to water in order to hydrate it.  Once that was done, Scott told the boys they could pick the dirt up and put it into the pot.  Both boys said "ewww, no way, you do it!" Hopefully the plant will like it in our kitchen for a while until it's warm enough to permanently live outside.  

The boys couldn't agree what they wanted to play together, so they each decided to do something different, far away from each other.  Karsten's project was pretty cool - he taped five pieces of paper together and was doing to draw a dinosaur world, then put the dinosaurs in the world.  It reminded me of building a diorama in elementary school - except his is flat.

Liam came to check out the progress and was instructed not to touch ANYTHING!

Liam's project (with Scott) was equally cool.  They built an elaborate home for the dinosaurs.  This isn't the average Lego house that I usually build, this thing has towers, balconies and super tall walls. 

The rain stopped shortly after noon which was lucky for us since Karsten had his first soccer game of the season today.  

This league is going to be a big change from the last time he played - the kids are older (obviously) and the game moves very fast.  Karsten gets very focused on using the footwork techniques the coach has taught them, and often will miss his chance at kicking the ball because he's trying to get in the appropriate position.  He'll get it - the most important part is that he is having fun!

Liam entertained himself by running around for a while, but a thirty minute practice followed by a thirty minute game is a long time for a little brother.

But, lucky me, Liam found this sweet little clover for me and proudly presented with love.

On the way home, the boys discovered a sheet of foam stickers that had fallen out of Liam's Easter bag from school.  Do you like their disguises?  Never a dull moment around here.  Never!
