What Year Did Jesus Live?

Saturday the boys had their first soccer games of the season (uniforms were not in yet).  Colin kicked off his season with 4 goals!  Evan also did great, though I think he enjoyed talking to his teammates as much as playing.  His team name is the Hokies this year, which we couldn't be happier about!  That was completely random by the way.  He played the Cavaliers on Saturday and we kept thinking that it was good he didn't get put on that team!  I was proud of him because he stayed on the field almost the whole game, and was actually a little upset when he was asked to sit out.  As usual at the 3 year old level, there were a couple kids on his team that never wanted to even play. 

After soccer, Evan, Logan and I made the trip to NOVA for Matthews 2nd Birthday.  I didn't see Evan almost the whole party, because he was playing nicely in their playroom the whole time.  The drive up and back was uneventful, both boys slept both ways.  There is nothing better than a long drive with kids when they sleep.

Dennis, Colin, and Grandpa McLaughlin, who was visiting for the weekend, went to Colin's last basketball game of the season.  Colin finished off the season with a couple baskets.  I am wondering if basketball will be a one time sport or we will visit it again?  It isn't my favorite, but Colin loves it, as he does all the sports. 

Anyway, the boys had a great time with their Grandpa visiting this weekend, they always enjoy him coming and get pretty hyper trying to get his attention.  We were all tired after the weekend and everyone, including me, fell asleep at nap time.

Today Colin had CCD and they talked about Lent.  Colin got in the car and said, "I gave up Chocolate for Lent, I can't have it for 40 days".  I said, "That is a good choice, that is a tough one".  He said, "No, that isn't hard, Matthew (one of his classmates) gave up Wii, no way am I giving that up, that is too hard!"

We then were talking about Jesus and how he lived a couple thousand of years ago and Colin said, "A long time ago, like 1982?"  Wow, I must be getting old!
