Crazy Weekends

Ryan works so much during the week that our weekends are crazy and busy. I can't imagine when we have multiple kids in sports and activities. Whew! Friday night we has some friends over for dinner and Bryce's friend spent the night. They "camped out" upstairs in the playroom and had a blast. Mia enjoyed having a friend over to play for a few hours, also. It was a good night for everyone.

Ryan had a coach's meeting at the YMCA for basketball on Saturday and got the team info. Now they just have to pick a name and uniform and start practices next week. Bryce is so excited. He has really been wanting to play basketball for a couple years and is just now old enough. We went and bought him basketball shoes and he thinks they are pretty cool. I volunteered at the church Saturday night doing a Parent's Night Out for kids with special needs. That really makes me realize how lucky I am to have two healthy kiddos. Rotten, but healthy.

We took the kids to eat at Rain Forest Cafe for lunch after Sunday School. Mia loved the fish and wasn't too scared of the gorillas after a few minutes. We did some shopping and headed home.

So, we are supposed to be loading Mia up on iron-rich food to try to build her iron stores up. They gave me a list of food that could easily be titled "foods your kid won't eat". Spinach, liver? Ugh. So if anyone has any good suggestions or recipes, please let me know. She will be rechecked in 3 months and we really need to know we gave her plenty of iron so we know if iron is the issue or if her body just isn't storing it. Email me if you have any advice- please!
