We woke up bright and early Saturday morning to get Ben off to his 5K. His time was 27 minutes and he placed 21st--not too shabby! I didn't take a picture of him running. So here he is with his t-shirt.
James had a football game. That's him # 67 in the middle surveying the carnage he caused with his brutal tackle.
Andrew had a soccer game. He did great. He got a goal and also blocked some shots on goal. He is a serious threat on defense!
Then, we ran home to clean the house and have some lunch. Arby's is doing their 5 for 5 until the end of September. I'll miss it. It's been a great tradition this month between games. Mmmm...
Next, we headed off to Ben's game. He played great. He scored the team's first goal about 4 seconds into the game. Kick-off to Ben, he runs like a bat out of you-know-where and GOOOAAAL!
We hurried home to get Ben changed and we were off to the Killer part of the day. Frank, James, Ben and I went to the Killers' concert. For those of you who don't know this band, they sing the greatest song ever written in the history of the world, "Can you read my mind?" The show was fantastic.
I got us floor tickets, mainly because I didn't know how to use the Ticketmaster website. But it turned out to be the best place to be. We LOVED it! These guys are right up there with Springsteen, U2, Guns and Roses and my other favorite bands of all time. And as a side note, if you are wondering if you should take your kids to one of their shows, they are really clean. There was nothing questionable--unless you are worried that your kids will actually get too awesome from being there. If that is the case, keep them home. I mean, check out these guys.
Whew! Now I'm ready for my Sunday nap!
Everybody helped out
There is just nothing like seeing all these jars in a row--they are almost too pretty to eat. 
Lately, he has been spending all his spare time drawing. He has used up all of our scratch paper and started in on the computer paper before I got him this sketch pad.
I found him in the crib with Baby Bella. Just having a little rest and a drink.
Joey has a favorite shirt. This is a picture of him in his room after he dug through the dirty clothes to find it. He tried to put it on, but it looks like he had some problems.
He is Andrew's shadow. When we went to the bike rodeo, he insisted on riding his bike around with the big kids.
Here he is singing rock-a-bye to Woody (he's an action figure--not a doll) 
And he is so snuggly. He falls asleep anywhere. He fell asleep when we hiked up Mt. Baldy.
He had a little snack and fell asleep before he could even get down off his chair.
Sitting on the stairs with Ed watching the rain outside--I guess it lulled them both to sleep.
Can you believe there is a skull on my kitchen table? Also, if you've never checked out water marbles, I highly recommend them. They feel gross, which makes them perfect for little Hallowe'en hands. Also, they are inexpensive and don't stain if they spill out of the bowl. Next year, I'm going to find some blood red ones...Bwah..ha..ha...
Then, we ran home to clean the house and have some lunch. Arby's is doing their 5 for 5 until the end of September. I'll miss it. It's been a great tradition this month between games. Mmmm...
