What a crazy spring we have had so far. We get teased with warm weather for one day here and there, and snow and cold in between. It has been killing my training for the marathon! I was lucky enough to get out in the cold the last two Saturday mornings for my long runs (8.5 and 10.5) but I have reverted back to the treadmill during the week. Tomorrow looks like we may hit the upper 40's so I will try to get out after school. But the forcast then calls for snow later in the week! Where is spring? We have shoveled and swept the basketball court (our driveway) off quite a few times already! The boys are out shooting in their hats and gloves. They sure love the game!
All the kids start soccer in two weeks. Because of lack of space, we will need to shuttle back and forth between a couple sites. Jake and Lydia will be at one set of fields and Noah at another. We have not received the game schedules yet, but are hoping the games overlap as little as possible - yeah, what is the likelihood of that happening? Noah, Jake, and Lydia are all anxious to get the season started. It really is a lot of fun with so many kids involved (over 350 last year). It is great to see so many people in the community come out and watch the kids play.
Noah has worked hard on his state report and will give his oral presentation tomorrow. Thank you Mick and Nancy for all the information of Colorado ...now he really wants to come and visit! (so do the rest of us!) We looked over his work tonight and he really put a lot of effort and time into the project. He is even excited about the presentation part, which surprised me since he can be shy at times.
Jake is doing really well in school. He keeps his teacher hopping, and has her coming up with extra math for him to do since he is so quick at his math facts. We are happy that his handwriting has improved also. It was tough to read not that long ago, and he has really worked on his neatness. Way to go Jake!
Lydia is keeping busy at 'Jenny's' - her daycare. She is such a big help with the younger kids. I cannot believe that in two months, we will be done with daycare! Lydia is very excited about going to kindergarden in the fall. Her new passion is gymnastics. They are practicing for their end of the year show... a 'disco' theme is all whe will tell us, since it is going to be a surprise!
Misha is busy with track. I think he is enjoying it and hanging out with the other students. We also went and got him fitted for a tux for the prom. I guess that is a sign of spring.
Deb is holding us all together, making sure we all get to where we need to be. She is looking forward to the end of the year, even though she will need to pack up all her stuff and move to another classroom AGAIN! It has been a busy time at shool, and she has organized some special events to bring parents into the classroom. I know she is anxious for the warmer weather so she can go for her walks around 'the circle'.
I just need to keep thinking...Spring has to come soon because summer is not that far away!!!!
