a bulleted review

It was a busy week for us here....
*Marcus and Cale had a mini-football camp every night from 5-630. They loved it! It was so hot! But, they actually never complained about going. We went ahead and signed them up for youth football this fall. Cale will be in the flag football league and Marcus will play tackle football. Andy was debating whether or not to put Marcus in tackle or flag and the ladies registering kids said-"we saw him practice, he should do tackle." Funny that they remember him.

*Marcus and Cale also still have baseball on Tues/Thurs @ 7pm. (Yes, there were 2 days when we picked the boys up from football and sped off to baseball-dinner in the car) They are doing okay for kids who have never played organized baseball before. It's coach-pitch and they've both been able to get some hits. I think Cale might like baseball a litte more than Marcus only because Marcus wants to be good at it immediately and doesn't like having to work to improve.

*I have worked 4 days this week! That's a lot. And, this is the last week that will happen because I am going back down to working 2 days a week next week. I'm so excited. I know I will be less sleepy and have more time to spend with the kids and activities and the house (like cleaning and laundry :-) )

*VBS is coming up tomorrow. It's 3 days of fun for some, and 3 days of crying 2-3 year olds for me. I can't believe this is the 4th year that I've taught this age group. I guess once you're in, you're in. Andy will not be teaching this year, but working in the kitchen preparing snacks.
The boys will all be in class, including Liam, who will be in the nursery getting loved on by "Grandma" Kathy.

*We got Ewan an actual mattress for his bed finally. No more sleeping on an air mattress for him! We finally had time to go looking for one. I think he likes it, although last night he ended up in our bed.

*In water news, we went to a new splash park this week. We met some friends of mine from work and their kids. It was nice to see each other not in scrubs. And, we DID NOT talk about work. That was nice too. Saturday, we went to the Y's splash park. I enjoyed that trip because the water was a comfortably warm temp having been warmed by the sun all day. The boys ran around for over an hour. It was great.

*Andy has one more week off before football starts. I get so spoiled in the summer having him home. It's tough to have him go back to work and harder because the first few weeks back, he's gone for over 12 hours each day. We always managed...

That's all I can think of for now. Just trying to get the kids outside as much as possible, especially in the evenings once the weather cools off. Their hair is all a little lighter and their pale skin a little redder :-).

Have a great day!
