The Weekend

 Saturday morning, Riley started fall soccer.  She loves soccer...so getting up early on Saturday mornings is worth it to play.  Plus, her friend, Natalie, is on the team, so she was even more excited to play. 

She's the tall one, second from the left 



Sunday, was fall softball for Riley and Cooper's first football game.  Of course, they had to run at the same time and since Clyde is offensive coach, he went with Cooper and I took the younger two to Riley's game.  Riley's team lost and I missed half the game thanks to a certain 5-year-old that shall not be named.  Really, you pack a whole bag of things to do and snacks to eat and they still misbehave.  Love that.


Cooper's first game and an injury already.  He injured his knee on a run during the game and complained about it all night.  This morning the inside of his knee was completely swollen...so off to the doctor we went.  They couldn't see anything on the xray, but because of the location of the swelling (the inside of his knee), she referred him to orthopaedics.  In the meantime, he's wearing a compression brace and Ibuprofen for the inflammation.  Boo.

I had one of McD's mango pineapple smoothies the other day.  I have to say it was really good.  220 calories, not bad, considering it's from McD's...most of the sugar grams are from the fruit base and just a few from the low fat yogurt.  Instagram made it look like radioactive urine...it's actually a much less offensive color, I promise.  It's the only smoothie I've actually liked from there, you should try one if you haven't...really.
 

The Bears won.
The Cubs won.
Michigan won...so Clyde was happy...and it was an awesome game to watch, especially the last half.
49ers won...so again, Clyde was happy.

The Hawkeyes, however, managed to ruin an otherwise perfect football weekend.  Although, my brother, the Iowa State alum of the family, probably begs to differ.
