Happenings

Last week was a little crazy. Piano is in full swing and I"m loving it! The girls started dance, both of them are at a different place and their dance times overlap each other, so it got a little crazy. Hopefully things will run smoother as I get used to all our crazy schedules. Caely started basketball practice with her new team, twice a week for two hours at a time. Poor girl is gonna be tired, but she loves it. 

Patch was supposed to start hockey this week, but when I went to get him ready he freaked out and didn't want to go. I had him call Chris to talk to him about it and then Chris and I decided Patch probably isn't ready for hockey this year. I have to admit I'm a little sad about this but I'm glad Patch told us before it was too late. He really seems to enjoy soccer and although we missed the fall season because we thought he would be doing hockey, there is always spring. 

I have a cold. I think it's been about a year and half since I was last sick, which I'm grateful for. Being sick is no fun. It's not like I'm down and out. I actually feel pretty good, it's just taking away from my running and working out. That's my sanity and I'm pretty sure I'll go crazy if I don't get a run in soon. 

I told Alexa that she wasn't a reader. Although she's above grade level in reading, she doesn't have the love of books that Tyler, Caely and I do and that's okay. After I told her that she went right to work reading. I'm kind of feeling bad about it but if that's what it takes to motivate her then great. 

I totally feel like I have no clue about what's going with my kids at school. There are four of them to keep up on and it's a lot to juggle. There is always something due or homework to be done or papers to be signed. I really need a new system to get it all done so they don't fall behind. Any ideas? 

So yes, we have lots going on but this is such a fun time of life with my kids. I hope I don't lose sight of whats important and that I can keep everything together while staying sane.
