Tuesday and Wednesday

Yesterday was a hot day. We picked up some materials from the library, got lunch from school, ate lunch and then went outside. Evelyn and Jameson played in the kiddie pool all afternoon. I read my book, drank some coffee, did some crochet outside while I watched them and they just kept playing.


Today we were supposed to get storms, some of which could be severe so I put the pool away, brought in some stuff we didn’t want to blow away, and moved the potted plants to the porch. One neat thing we did today was one of our to-go activities from the library - magical mystery object. Evelyn got a feather and Jameson got a shell. A mysterious donor had given the library these objects and the librarians needed help cataloguing them. 


Around 4:00 the storms blew through. It was very windy. At one point I was actually kind of concerned, but the storm did not last too long. When Nate got home he said there’s a tree down in the middle of the road and sure enough a big limp had fallen down. We checked it out after dinner.

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.
