All Around Nice Day

Friday was an all around nice day in our house.

Aidan was home from school for some made up Catholic holiday. (and yes, we do pay tuition for the privilege of all these holidays.) The boys and I decided to take advantage of our amazing fall sunshine and blue skies and have our own soccer game in the front lawn. We set up goals with toys we found in the garage. Griffin was in goal for my team, right up until he decided the scooter acting as our goal post would be a little more fun than waiting for someone to make a shot on him.

After Griffin rode away with our goal post, Brennan opted to switch teams and come play with me. Aidan survived the lopsided teams by screaming "time out" anytime I got my feet on the ball. (good strategy, eh? He's a clever one.)

After we ended our tie game (3-3), we went for a walk and visited cousins in the neighborhood. We spent much quality time at my aunt's house so the boys could love up their dogs and then shamelessly beg and plead for our own dog. (Not ready for that one yet. I clean up enough urine from the humans in my family. I don't need to add dog pee to the mix. Not yet anyway.)

In the afternoon, the boys and I settled in for Charlie Brown's Halloween special and some nice cuddling on the playroom couch.

We topped off the day with a date night at the Sabres home opener. Dinner, visiting with some friends, first win of the season - all good.
