More From Our Ladies Man...

Last Sunday we got an invitation to go to the Dragon's stadium for a family fun night. It was sponsored by Entertainment Book (you know, the coupon books?) and kids who sold a certain dollar amount in books got a ticket to go. Max only sold one book, the one we purchased out of obligation to the school, but because I'm on the PTO the coordinators for this fundraiser were kind enough to give our family a pass to this event as well.

The event ran from 4-8pm. They had free hotdogs and popcorn, bounce houses, obstacle courses, batting cages, blow up slides, base running on the field and pictures with Heater and Gem, the Dragons mascots. They also had people doing face painting and balloon animals (that takes serious talent, btw!) and at 6:00 showed the movie "UP!" on the jumbotron. It was SOOOOO crowded and quite honestly smelled like b.o. and farts everywhere we stood. (sorry, if I had to endure it you can stand to read about it) Max loved every minute though and I really think he ran the 90 ft between every base like 234832 times.

Guess what though? While we were there we ran into the elusive Samantha. You know, Samaaaaaaaaaaantha? The one who gives Max drawings and notes on the bus daily? Well well well... here she is... with Max. They had fun playing together. I think Samantha must have had some chocolate somewhere too, judging by her mouth...

The next day Max got on the bus and the bus driver, Janet, told me that Samantha had a note for him that I might want to take to keep safe. Here it is:

Cracks me up. (sorry it's sideways)

Oh here are a few more random things... Max got his kindergarten pics back from school. Seriously adorable!!! Take a look!

And here are some from a cookout we had at the Breehne's last night... Max had fun with Carley, Christina, Ella and a few other of our friends' kids...

And finally, from today's soccer game. Max scored two goals; he also got plowed by his own teammate and friend, Ryan. Sometimes it's hard for 5 year olds to remember to share the ball or that they are on the same team! :) Max banged his knee pretty hard... I got the shots in sequence! Check it out...

Ryan comes in from behind to try to get it too...

and he's down... there he goes!
