Hi All! Just an update from up north. The 2 older kids started baseball last week and both just love it! (Thanks for the cleats, Kortnie. Sorry I haven't got you called to thank you!) Carson really enjoyed it last year, so was very excited to have it start again. But this is Annika's first attempt at a competitive sport. Her swing (and catching and throwing for that matter) really left something to be desired a month ago, but we have been working on it and she is getting better. She has a great attitude (I know, Annika, can you believe it?), doesn't get frustrated and just has fun. She is constantly asking when the next practice is.
I actually subbed last Friday - Oakesdale has called me many times this school year and I keep saying no, so last Friday Penney took the kids (Coleman all day, drop off and pick up Annika, and Carson on and off the bus at her house!) and I subbed Kindergarten in the am and 4th grade in the pm. It was nice to get back in the classroom, but makes me appreciate being able to stay at home!
Coleman has reached the "Why?" stage. This seems so early for that to be starting, doesn't it? Today I ask him to get in his carseat, he asks "Why, Mommy?" On the way to baseball we drove by a park and he says "Me play park?" I tell him we don't have time and he asks "Why, Mommy?" I bet he asked the question 10 times, just today!! Tonight, I tell the kids its time to brush their teeth and he asks "Why, Mommy?" Yikes!
The guys are still trying to finish up spring work. Hopefully the rain we might get tonight won't amount to much and they might finish by this coming weekend!?! That would be great! We have actually had some great weather (even hit 80 today), so the kids and I went over to Lake CDA yesterday, played in the water and had a picnic. Here are some pictures from that. The water was way too cold to swim, but Annika got in somehow! Crazy!
Guess that does it from up here! 34 weeks tomorrow, only 6 weeks til baby! :-)
