Crazy (Fun) Spring Schedules
It’s that crazy fun time of year when we have a few extra curricular things winding down and even more picking up - and during the 2 weeks of overlap I just had to record all the fun things the kids are involved in. Each thing feels valuable to each kid and with the help of awesome friends/carpools, a daughter that drives and is more than willing to help, and understanding coaches and teachers, we’ve been able to make this schedule work. But for the record — here it is.
Emily
Piano Lessons - every Wednesday afternoon - practices an hour every day - she drives herself. : )
Musical Rehearsal - every Saturday for several hours - she’s been asked to be a part of the Musical that will be performed at Girls Camp this summer. Such an awesome experience. - she drives herself.
Family History Center Volunteer - several Thursday nights each month - she drives herself
Young Women’s - every Wednesday night - she drives herself and Luke.
Swing Dance - Friday afternoons (for the first half the season) - she drives herself and Megan
Megan

I write this just as Swing Dance ends for the season. Chess Club ends pretty soon as well. Really it’s a great schedule with so many great carpools. We have a great community of people willing to help each other, which means that even though various kids are here and there I am able to be home most of the time in the afternoons… minus a couple long days of competitive soccer practice carpool each month and of course Tuesday Track Meets. Life is good. Now if it will just warm a little bit so our soccer games and track meets won’t be snowed out. : )
