Basketball...Soccer...Ponies, Oh My!

What a big weekend the Lee family has had.  Where to begin....

Friday evening after soccer practice, we headed over to UNCW to watch the Harlem Globe Trotters.  Someone was very nice to give us tickets.  We had the best time!  It was quite entertaining.  The show/game started at 7pm (our kids are in bed between 7:30 and 8 every night!).   We decided to head home just before the game ended.  Charlie and I were getting tired! :)  The kids, especially Eliza, hung in there.  They were champs!  I told Jackson that we stayed up "Disney late" last night. (Because you know at Disney, there's NO bedtime!!!)

It's amazing how many 4 point shots they made!
Saturday morning, Jackson had an early soccer game, 8:15AM.  We had to get up and get moving!  This season, he's on the a team called the Dinosaurs.  He has moved up in the YMCA soccer world.  The kids actually have positions, and the coach is teaching the difference between offense and defense.  The kids take turns in the different positions including goalie.   The uniforms, as you can see, are as bright as the face of the sun.  Jackson loves them!

After the soccer game, Eliza was invited to a school friend's birthday party.  This wasn't any birthday party!  As Eliza told me, they had a "bounce house and horse-ys."  She was so excited telling me about it, I could hardly understand her.  I thought she might be a little apprehensive around the pony, but she was ready to ride!  (Really?! I shouldn't be surprised!!)  And...she was so excited to bring home Ariel chap stick in her goody bag!  

Can't you hear Eliza saying, "Hey little horse-y"?
Everything is "little" right now...my little hand, that little shirt....

Child, child....

Finally, on the horse-y!

Finally, riding the horse-y!

She's such a big girl!

I had to add this one last sweet, sweet (in my opinion!) picture. Since Jackson will be at a different school in the fall, this is one of the last times he will walk Eliza into First Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten!  (Sniff, sniff...)

They both had St. Patty's Day shirts under their jackets.
Would you expect anything different?!?

A fantastic weekend at the Lee house...busy, but quite fun with our children.
