So let's begin with Friday. On Friday, my two older children were scheduled to test for their purple belts in karate. They have been waiting for this day for quite a long time and I knew they were so excited to get it over and done with. My son even gave up playing baseball, a sport he has thoroughly enjoyed since he was six years old. I know it was a hard decision for him to make, but I am proud that he knew his limitations and committed to one sport. This is the first time that they had to test during the afternoon, it is usually held on a Saturday morning, so I was a little nervous. I had to make my daughter take a nap before her testing, she is seven years old and does not function well when she is tired. Since it was a few hours after school, it was perfect for her to take a nap. I am glad she did because SHE ROCKED! My son Bailey was amazing as well. I am so proud of the kids!!
After the kids tested for their purple belts, my husband tested for his blue belt. I was so proud of him because he was so sharp on that floor and he really knew his stuff. He's so amazing. I am glad he is able to do martial arts with the kids. I know it means a lot for the kids to be able to do karate with him. It is the one thing they can do together and share. My husband has also has made some awesome friends through karate. So I really can't complain all that much. So yes, my KIDS and HUSBAND ROCKED! I am so proud of them.
On Saturday, we chose to support our friends, extended family really, during their demonstration at the opening day for the local baseball organization. I was so impressed with everyone that performed. They were all so good. Ed got to do a demonstration for karate and that was pretty cool to watch. I really enjoyed watching the girls do their dance thing. That was pretty awesome. It was a very cold and blustery day, if you ask me. I wouldn't want to be there if I were any sane person, but I think I may have lost my sanity with the birth of my my first born. haha I kid, I kid, but I probably have lost a little bit with each passing year as a mom. Don't get me wrong, I love motherhood, it just takes a lot to be a mother. That is why I no longer take my mother for granted.
Later in the evening, we spent a few hours watching the UFC fight with Sensei and his wonderful family. It was nice to have an adult outing. My mom watched the kids and our friends' little boy. She said she didn't mind. I think she sees my sanity slipping. Have I told you guys how much I love my mom? Well, I love her with all my heart. She is an inspiration beyond measure!
Today we did nothing but clean up and shop at Costco. I love Costco, it makes a ton of money off of me but they have such great deals. I just can't pass it up! We had to buy a whole bunch of food, the baby's formula (I bought two cans this time because subsequent visits to Costco will make me buy more, so I try to limit my visits there), but mostly snacks for the kids, veggies and fruits. I came back home, made dinner and did laundry. SO MUCH LAUNDRY! Tomorrow I must tackle the task of fixing my room...yes, my tornado struck room.
