Mother’s Day weekend

It was a weekend full of activities. Friday was the school block party. Nate had to play at church so I took the kids. I talked with a few other parents but mostly enjoyed reading a book while Evelyn and Jameson ran around with their friends.

This year the art teacher organized a Glow Show - glow in the dark art from every student. It was very cool.

Saturday morning was Jameson last spring soccer game. He has been playing with a few of the same kids for a couple seasons now and it’s been nice to watch them all improve.

After soccer it was straight to the library for Evelyn and Jameson’s spring piano recital.

Mother’s Day was another nice day. I went for a run in the morning and then we went fishing. No one caught anything. Everyone had a few nibbles, so there were fish out there.

Later in the afternoon we went for a bike ride and saw this turtle just off the path.

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.
