Poppa had a tennis tournament in Ft. Worth last weekend and played with us in between his games. It was fun having him pop in and out all weekend! We had a good time!
Bo called Noelle a “diva” while Poppa was pulling her around the pool. She thought that was a fun new word!
Poppa had to keep it really cold upstairs so his muscles wouldn’t cramp up, so the girls had “sleep overs” with us. Anna Kate has asked us every night this week if it is time yet for our next sleepover. Our rule is one night a week, on a pallet on the floor… must be on a weekend. It’s a great system to have some fun but within healthy boundaries! And they respect that and really look forward to it as a special treat!
Noelle has worked for over 2 months for the Justin Bieber movie… over 60 full out chores! Both girls were so giddy and excited! It’s so funny! Turns out, I had a $5 off coupon to EntertainMart (oh yeah), and we bought it used for $9.99… so she had over $10 left in her purse. She was beyond thrilled about her good deal, like squealing and laughing while she was shoveling coins back into her purse! I’ll tell you what she’s going to do with the rest of her money soon – it’s creative!
We’ve landed on a favorite yogurt place! Rara and Noelle found it this spring. Since then, we’ve tried 3 other places, but this one’s the best by far… the name of it is Yogurt Zone. Now, bear in mind, Noelle wants to work at Purple Berri when she’s a teenager so she can say, “Hi, welcome to Purple Berri… would you like a sample cup?” so don’t tell her future employer!
Rose was having a good time watching Poppa stretch his neck one night.
They were having a little moment!
And, the rest of the story is Poppa won all 3 of his games, and took home the first place prize for his division. His competition was steep… he was playing guys 20+ years younger than he is. Crazy! I thought he would win the first game, maybe the second, doubtful the third, and lo and behold he won the whole thing! GO POPPA! Congrats!
