An Unusually Busy Day for The Burgin Team

6:30 AM Amy runs one mile with SA Fit half marathon training group at Stone Oak. Thank God there is no picture to record this event.

8:00 AM Family has biscuits, sausage and eggs for breakfast. Need good fuel for a big day ahead.

9:00 AM Jon takes children to Home Depot. Freedom builds his first project. He is completely thrilled to be set up with his first pair of safety glasses, hammer and measuring tape. He LOVES to do ANYTHING with his Daddy. We are telling him over and over that he is a builder and a fixer.

11:00 AM Piano recital for Joy and Glory!

Glory played

• My Blue Canoe
• Painting with Pastels
• Pop! Pop! Popcorn

Joy played

Way to go little beauties!

1:00 PM We went straight to Glory's soccer game. Memaw helped her get dressed in the car. Man it was HOT at that time! Glory got to play defense, offense and be goalie. She stopped the other team from scoring and did a couple of reverse kicks in the game. It's fun to watch them play and cheer like crazy people.

2:30 PM We had lunch (compliments of Memaw who brought all the fixings for a nice sandwich lunch!) and a little Birthday Party for Freedom. Papaw got him the largest jar of cookies he'd ever seen and all the kids bubble wands. :) Memaw got him Charlie Brown DVDs (he loves Snoopy!).



4:10 PM We're back on the soccer field for Joy's game. Did I say it was hot at the 1:00 game? Well, it was really hot at the 4:00 game! Poor Freedom - look how exhausted he is! More on that at the end of the post :(

5:30 PM Memaw and Papaw went home and we went to Joy's end of soccer season party at Dairy Queen for ice cream. The team got Jon a $40 gift card at a steak house, so I am excited about a date night with my beau! It was very sweet of the team to gift him like that. He is a teacher at heart and so naturally did an EXCELLENT job as coach. I was so proud! Joy got after the ball this year too. It is so fun to watch her grow and advance in sports. Notice Freedom is looking a bit more perky than at the soccer game, but I notice at Dairy Queen that he feels unusually hot when I kiss his forehead.


7:00 We are all ready to go home for the day! Freedom was running a 100 degree fever when we got home - poor thing. The kids got bathed and then I let the kids eat dinner on the couch while watching the new Snoopy DVDs. It was the perfect way to end a long, hot day! Soccer season is over and our lives will slow down a bit.
