A busy weekend...

I used to think weekends were for relaxing and unwinding from a busy work week...not anymore. We always seem to pack our weekends full of activities with the kids or time spent with family and friends. This weekend was no different.
Saturday morning started with Ben's second soccer game of the season. He did a great job, and is now focused on playing defense! He gets so excited just to say the word "defense". It is very cute! He always does a great job, and had some great moves on the soccer field!
Later that day we took the boys, along with our good friends and their kids to the circus in Baltimore. We were sure Ben would love it, but we were not expecting much from Eli (we were just hoping he would sit through it). Both boys ended up loving it! Ben was amazed at the elephants, tigers, and most of all 7 motorcycles riding around in loops inside a small metal globe...Joe and I were even impressed with that! Eli was standing on my lap jumping up and down, clapping, and dancing. Everyone had a good time.
Sunday was spent playing outside as much as possible. The weather was a perfect 65 and sunny! Our backyard became a hub of action as some of the neighborhood kids were playing on the playset for a while.
