Christmas tree and school

 We decorated the Christmas tree yesterday. We still have lots of Christmas decorations to put up around the house so my big task today is clean and make space for all of them. While putting Jameson to sleep last night, he asked that we please don’t set up the nativity without him because it’s his favorite part.


The other fun or kinda fun kinda stressful, remind me not to sign up next year, was door decorating at school. I wasn’t going to sign up. Then I had an idea and both Evelyn and Jameson’s door needed a volunteer.  Then I waited and thought do I really want to do this. Then Jameson’s door was taken so I said ok fine I’ll do Evelyn’s. Overall I am happy with how it turned out, especially the fireplace. After the fact I wished I had taped paper to the whole door instead of taping the letters and books to the door. But I also wanted to finish as soon as I could. There were some highly creative doors at school so while there category prizes I don’t think I will be winning one.

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.
