Full Days

The days seem more packed than ever! Between volunteering in the classrooms, grocery shopping, homework and sports I'm beat! I have been scheduling some fun in though. Today we kidnapped a friend and took her for a birthday hair makeover and a nice lunch. What fun! I love days like this.

Soccer is in full swing. Noah and Zach have practice twice a week and games twice a week. They are loving it and I just love to see them do things they love. Noah is super fast.








And Zach is determined to get a goal this season. Go Zach!!






Joey is doing fall ball. Of course! He loves it. He would be so happy to do it EVERY SINGLE DAY. But so far it's 3 days a week practice and games start on Sunday.

I only wish they didn't have so much darn homework every night. It's killing me. Forget them... it makes me grumpy. Everyone asking me questions all at once and spending two hours a night on it is driving me crazy. A math page and some reading sounds much better to me...and then a good soccer or baseball practice. They work so hard all day and the minute they get home I get them right back to work. Hate that!!





Zach had a book talk today on a fiction book. He picked Indiana Jones. He was so determined to read it even though it was a bit of a difficult read. In our house you have to read the book before you see the movie. Great motivator-Joey just finished Harry Potter. Anyway, he dressed up for his talk and I brought it Monkey Brains for a snack (coffee cake with crumbs making it look like a brain). He did such a good job. I stayed to listen. I'm so proud of him. And I know I've said it a million times but I LOVE his teacher!!! She is so wonderful.
