Christmas

We had a laid back Christmas at home this year. I made donuts for breakfast and Nate made Chex mix to snack on. We opened presents and watched some tv. There were a few tantrums and some whining too. I don’t know if Evelyn and Jameson were tired from a busy few days or if the excitement of Christmas is hard to manage when you are 2 and 4.  It was nice to have Christmas just the 4 of us but it was also a little strange not to see any family too.


The hit present was two mini nerf guns that Santa gave Evelyn and Jameson in their stockings. 


New Legos were also very exciting. Jameson waited very patiently for Evelyn to finish building her monster truck so he could play with it. 


One of my presents was a bird feeder for the back yard. The birds didn’t find it today but Nate set up the spotting scope just in case.

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.
