Last Day

Last day of school today. Wrapped up swimming and football. Got hubs to run 5+ miles with me last week. Shipped the dogs off for 3 weeks of boarding training. Cleaned and purged the playroom.

Wrapping it up.

Seems so many things are on the verge of ending... we finished lacrosse Saturday. Tomorrow is the end of Soccer. Only one more football weekend. Kids only have 13 days left of school. Abby enjoyed shopping with Grandma this weekend. Aidan had a phenomenal football game today. Prepped and ready for another week. Where does the time go...

Birthday... Braces

We took the kids out of school a little early last Friday because we had Cirque tickets. Little did we know we would get in (yet another) car accident AND have our car hit (and run) while in the parking garage the same night. UNREAL. The lady's insurance finally accepted liability so now we can get the ball rolling. Mother's Day was low key- took hubby's mom out Saturday night. I took my mom out Sunday morning. The usual prepping for the week and Aidan had flag football. My birthday happened to be on the same day Abby's braces came off- so her and I spent the day together. After they came off we went to breakfast, she got a complete hair make-over and a mani/pedi.

More of the same.

I hacked my hair off. Hubs only gets every other Saturday off. Which means we only get two full days off A MONTH together. So yeah. I'm noticing most of our conversations begin with "Oh I forgot to tell you but two weeks ago.... this happened or what have you." Last gym meet- State Invitational. She placed 6th. More football. Skipped Lacrosse because the boy had a swollen knee. Yikes. Missed soccer tonight too because of sitting for THREE HOURS at swimming registration.

Je t'aime

Only six weeks left of school. Unbelievable. And.... I still don't have daycare/camps planned. EEKS. Abby did a service project this week at school to raise money for the American Girl/No Kid Hungry campaign. The AG doll this year travels to Paris. It's a baking theme therefore Abby wanted to sell Eiffel Tower cookies. An AMAZING parent at their school who is known for her baking skills graciously made the cookies at a bargain cost. Aside from the five broken ones we bought, she sold all but twelve- $334 will be donated! I love her heart.
Friday night we invited a friend of hers from school to a movie and dinner. Today was lax, gymnastics and errands. Gearing up for our usual busy crazy month of May.

Where For Art Thou Weekend

Back up to last Sunday Abby had another meet. She completely BOTCHED floor. Rick and Aidan had flag football and they both showed up just as she was starting her routine. We both looked at each other and basically whispered WHAT THE .... WAS THAT??? The hilarious part about it is she MEDALED 4TH ON FLOOR. Anyway- this kid medaled in all four events and placed 3rd all around.  Another week down of soccer, tutoring, swimming, gym, lacrosse and football.
These past three weeks of work have left me with a very bad attitude. Trying to have a grateful heart but wow. I'm not in a good place right now. I was so very relieved Friday came and just wanted to decompress and here it is time to get ready to go back to the grind. Beautiful 80 degree weather has been amazing here.
Another crazy week awaits.

This and That

Trying to keep up. Everything runs together. Easter came and went. We went to Saturday service and it was fabulous. Easter Sunday we had brunch with my mom and hubs had to sleep since he had to work that night. I made all the lunches, dinners etc and took a nap.  Abby made mango muffins awhile back all by herself.  Love milestones like that. Life lessons. Aidan has had a cold all week. Abby had a follow up appt for her fainting. Discussed possibilities. Did EKG. Working on getting more calories into her.
Aidan started Lacrosse today. We're now in swimming, lax, tutoring, gymnastics, soccer and flag football. Looks like we will resurface first week of June :-)
