Christmas party

Today was Evelyn's school Christmas party.  The whole school attended Christmas chapel together (parents were invited to chapel but Jameson and I stayed home.  I thought it was asking a lot of him to sit through chapel and then be well behaved during the classroom party). 


After chapel it was the preschool's turn to shop for presents at the Christmas shop.  Evelyn bought a few items and managed to stay within her budget.  Then it was back to the classroom for a craft.  The kids made snow globes out of baby food jars using salt, glitter, and baby oil.  Once all the glitter was cleaned up, every student got two sugar cookies to decorate.  



Then we walked around the church, handing out cookies to various teachers, staff, and pastors.  Here's Mrs. Smith the principal receiving her cookies.



Next up was a "snowball" fight in the gym followed by one last craft - candy cane ornaments made with pipe cleaners and pony beads.  It was a full morning.  Jameson loved just being able to play in Evelyn's classroom but when we walked around the church or played in the gym, he was right there with all the other kids, just like he was in preschool too.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall. 

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
