It's March Already


Well- how did that happen?
It's March already.... before we know it summer will be here and all three kids will be moving on to different schools!  Agh.

This spring is crazy ass busy- I actually had to print out paper calendar pages to keep me on top of things because we have so much going on.    Just this week we have three baseball games, two baseball practices, one 7 on 7 game, one soccer practice, one soccer game, two lacrosse games, three lacrosse practices, one lacrosse travel team practice... whew.  I am exhausted just thinking about it.  

Jack's last baseball season is officially underway.   Unfortunately he's not playing that much- which is a bummer but genetics don't help him much.  Smallest kid on the team so he's not starting.  As much as we are disappointed - we have to keep everything in perspective.  He's also playing 7 on 7 football again every Sunday (so that leaves no days off for Jack).  I'm afraid it's going to make him want to play high school football..... ugh!  But bright side is I am 100% certain he won't see the field EVER if he plays football next year so he would have a much less chance of getting hurt.  Of course I don't want him to play but if he does - go for it kid.   

School is going well for Jack- as usual.  Hard to imagine he'll be moving on to high school soon.  The 8th grade goes on an overnight field trip to the Outer Banks next month and i know they're looking forward to that.    

His major obsession these days is playing a game called Fortnite.  He bought himself an x-box right after Christmas and this games came with the x-box.  Apparently it's a nationwide obsession because ALL of his friends are obsessed and they all play online together.  At times I fuss at him to get off but I have to remember he's a straight A student, taking three high school classes, and plays sports 6-7 days a week so his downtime can be spent how he chooses.   It'll be interesting to see if he's still obsessed with it this summer.  

Riley is cranking along with lacrosse... she loves it so much and is really improving.  She played three 25 minute scrimmages this past weekend and I was impressed with her play.   Her official games start this Wednesday.  She is also gearing up for her summer travel team which will be so much fun.   

She starts a cheer clinic this Wednesday at the high school that she is looking forward to.  We'll see if she ends up trying out for cheer this fall or doing cross country- I don't think either one will be a life long passion or anything but I want her to branch out and try new things.  

Ri got a phone a few weeks ago and of course she's ecstatic.  We were planning on getting her one in May but it just worked out where we got her one a little early.  She makes most of her plans on her own these days and I just drive her around of have her friends over.... They're all sweet girls so I don't mind.   

Hadley is loving lacrosse and starts soccer TOMORROW night... Agh- And she asked me to sign her up for softball.   Umm- no!  Ha.  We have family night at her school tomorrow before practice and she's excited I am actually taking her!  

She is very ready for kindergarten and we've already been working on site words and 'reading.'  She can picture read books and 'read' books that we have memorized together.  She has been into coloring lately and her imaginative play is through the roof.  She cracks me up when she's in the tub- her Barbies have 'conversations' and 'get in trouble' etc.... She sure is funny.  

Here's some pics lately....

Ri went to UNC with her lacrosse friend Olivia last weekend.  They got to be ball girls for the UNC v/s Maryland lax game.  She had a blast and got to see some of the campus.   






Last weekend it was WARM.... Haddie actually got in the pool.  We had the hot tub heated so she warmed herself up in between swims.  I miss swimming and can't wait for warmer days to come so we can hang out back.  



"Kindness over Everything."   LOVE all of the cute graphic tees out there now with GIRL POWER on them!   


Yeah- a little meltdown when hadley noticed Riley catching and throwing a baseball better than her... Poor kid. 


Todd and I headed to the annual Master Chef Cystic Fibrosis Dinner this past weekend.   Always a fun time.

Can you say Fortnite Party?  Yep- Jack was in heaven.... Fortnite for hours with all of his buds.  



My little lax girl.    Ri practices on the far side of the field so don't have any pics of her.   I'll get some this weekend though!





She asked for a pic with her best bud this AM. 


Warm spring weather- LAST weekend.

Until next time....
