Life is exhausting and amazing all at once right now. I am super stressed and my mind turns in circles constantly. Too many commitments, responsibilities, ideas, and projects, and too little time. At the same time, everything is absolutely perfect. The kids are all in activities that they love and we are being kept busy with lots of fun and uplifting things.
On Monday, the kids had the day off of school. We all went to take Zaya to gymnastics and then we went home and hung out for awhile. Later in the day, we all went and watched Brooklen play hockey. I think he is really enjoying hockey, and he is doing amazing!
On Tuesday, Zaya had preschool at Jack's house, and then we spent the rest of the day cleaning up and recovering from Spring Break. There was a lot of laundry to be done and plenty of messes to be cleaned up.
Zaya had Jack come over and play on Wednesday. They are so cute together and they really play so well together. I am excited that they are going to be going to Chippewa Preschool together next year. After school, I taught piano lessons and Rob left work to take Hurley to gymnastics. She has switched classes again and she is now in Lori's Little Leapers class. This is her fourth class switch this year, but we have had a terrible time finding a good fit for her. Lori and Michelle knew that she really needed to be in this class and they recommended that we just switch her over. Surprisingly, she cried during the whole class. She knows Lori really well because she coached her for over a year, but I think that she is just really emotional and I also think it has been hard for her to switch coaches and classmates so much this year. Luckily, we know that this class is the right fit for her and she should be able to stay with this group from this point on.
On Thursday, Brooklen had baseball practice and on Friday, we had nothing schedule, so we were finally able to watch Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. Mr. Rajewski read it to Hurley's kindergarten class this year, so I decided to buckle down and read it to Brooklen. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. I was also surprised how closely the movie followed the book.
On Saturday, Brooklen had baseball and then hockey. Hurley went to Addison Jones' birthday party in the afternoon and the kids also played outside with the Nymans and the Whites.
Today, we had our Easter program at church. The choir performed two beautiful numbers that I was really excited for and proud of. Rob taught Sunday School today, so I had Kaiton for the second hour. He spotted Zaya in primary and kept waving at her AND he was saying, "zay zay, zay zay." He is starting to experiment with words. He says, "mom, dad, good job (when he claps his hands)" and "ruf ruf (when he sees a dog; he LOVES dogs)." He is obsessed with sports and just loves watching Jake and Brooklen play hockey. Today, as we were taking a walk, he got really excited. I looked over, only to realize that he had seen a basketball hoop in someone's driveway. The weather was gorgeous today (70 degrees). We played outside and we even grilled for the first time this year!
I wasn't very good about taking pictures this week :( But, I did snap a few pictures of Kaiton in his favorite chair
