One day Tournament

Today Josh played in an one day tournament in Bellingham. 

 He played with a group of guys from various teams.  They lost their first game which put them in the losers bracket but game back to win the next 5 games to put them in the championship game.  They lost that game and took him second place and played a total of 7 games!

While at the game I posted a picture of Josh on facebook and my Auntie Cubby saw and texted me to let me know that my cousins Darren and Nolan were also playing in the tournament.  

It was great to see them and chat for a bit.  They were all about being in the winners brackets but later lost their bragging rights when Josh's team beat them in game number 5.

The kids did great!  They got to play with their cousins, scooter, go on walks on the trails, watch a little bit here and there of the games, and played on various phones.  I bribed them with McDonalds  to get through one more game.  They happily entertained themselves by building piles with rocks, listening to music on Michelle's play phone (my old one), crushing ice with their feet, and wrestling.

Off Thursday

Woo! Hoo!  This was my first scheduled Thursday off!  I decided a while back that I needed a day for me to catch up on household chores, run errands, take a shower and straighten my hair, read a book, scrapbook, plan "school activities", go volunteer in Jordan's class/attend field trips, have lunch with Michelle at school, or whatever I feel like doing that particular week!

Next week Jordan starts preschool so I will actually have 3 quiet hours in the morning to do any of the above activities uninterrupted.  Since he was home this week we made it a mommy and Jordan day.  We started the off with a doctors appointment for Jordan.  Exciting I know.  He has quite the wax build up in his ears and wanted to get that cleared up.  We had an appointment scheduled for 9:30 but when the nurse called us back she said we needed to see a doctor too (not just have a nurse clean his ears) so she asked around and the next doctor available was 10:45.  We made a mad dash to Wal-mart to get our list done which usually takes a while.  On top of the Wal-mart being its usual busy they are remodeling the whole entire store so this made finding things more difficult but we managed.  Jordan also wanted to pick out some toys for Cohen so we spent some time in the baby section.  We still made it out of their with plenty of time to spare.  

Jordan got his ears cleaned (will spare the details and pics).

Well one!

Afterwards we went for lunch at Boston pizza.  Yum! Yum!  We had a delightful time coloring, talking, watching golf on tv (which Jordan was quite into) and eating.  

We ran a few more quick errands, decided to skip Costco and headed home for a snuggle movie to relax for a bit!

We relaxed for the rest afternoon playing, cleaning, another snuggle show with daddy before he was to leave.  Lately Jordan has been getting super emotional when Josh leaves for work and especially Thursdays nights when he leaves for poker.  He cries, begs him not to leave, runs out the door after him, and asks when he will be back.  We are not sure where this has come from.  It started out of the blue last Thursday when Josh was to leave.  He ended up staying home for another hour or so til he went to bed.   We always ask him what's up and why he doesn't want him to leave but he never really has an answer.  Tonight he just cried and followed me around like right at my hip.  He went to bed fine with a story and music.  Not sure what triggered this.  Any thoughts or comments on that would love to hear what you think.
