Joel had to work this weekend, so we try not to plan too much on those weekends. So it was a quiet weekend. The weather on Saturday was great, sunny and in the low 70s. Ben had his first flag football practice, although there was a mix-up with the time and the coach didn't show up :( But Joel and one of the other dads did some scrimmages with the kids and they had fun. Ben is the youngest on the team, since it's the under 12 league (10 and 11 year olds). But after seeing the other kids, it was the right decision to put him in that league even though he is not quite old enough. He is just as tall as his teammates, even one who just turned 12. He played well in the scrimmage and seemed to make friends quickly with his teammates. Rebecca and Caroline enjoyed running around on the adjacent field in the nice weather, and after practice we took the kids to PF Chang's for dinner.
The weather Sunday was awful, cold and pouring rain. Ben and Rebecca had Hebrew school in the morning, and they were supposed to dress up for Purim. Becca wore a dress-up costume and announced that she was Queen Esther, and Ben (never one to want to draw attention to himself) dressed himself entirely in Under Armour brand clothes (shirt, shorts, sneakers and sweatshirt) and announced that he was going as "The Under Armour Guy". Caroline and I did some shopping at Target while Ben and Becca were at Hebrew school, where I got her some clothes and a rain coat. I discovered that according to the clothing sizes at Target, she is a 3T for height and a 4T for weight, which makes clothes shopping for my not-even-2 1/2 year old somewhat awkward ;) Becca spent the afternoon at a friend's house, and Ben decided he was going to go out and ride his bike despite the rain, and came home soaking wet.
