I never realized how happy my day to day life is until something really awful happens. Although I have to say, I loved spending time with all the fam and friends. And I miss them already.
This was Hilly looking at Ben as he sat in his carseat. We were picking Jackie up from school and she kept saying 'I see that smile!' Ben was eating it up. I say that to Ben or whoever I'm looking at all the time in the rearview mirror. I didn't realize how ridiculous I sound!
Jackie and P started yoga again. Hill asked me to sign her up. I will next year. Or next session. Or something. Payton told me that yoga calms her down. Jack finds it a little boring but when I hear her referencing yoga poses (or whatever they are called) and talking about Namaste, it feels worth every *free* dollar. Did I mention that their dance, karate, yoga and soccer are FREE through our gym? And the gym isn't even that expensive!?
Benny set up his superheroes below in the hallway. With his rocket alarm clock.
Saturday we were invited to our neighbor Emily's confirmation party. The kids had just had a bath and Hilly put on a Little Mermaid nightgown that used to be Emily's and some Batman boots. It was such a good time. Emily taught Jackie how to play a few songs on the piano. Mom, I think I will take that piano if or when you want to get rid of it, although I hear piano transfer is actually expensive and not easy. So I guess I will have to research it.
Here she is....
Jack, looking so old. I have no clue why I took this pic.
Below is a picture Jim took of the kids and Parker at the end of the funeral. How I love this crew! Only thing missing were a few nephews and Blake and baby Peyton. I love this crew.
On Tuesday, my friend Kelly took Ben and her son Sam to Oasis- an indoor playground/arcade thing. There was no money in this machine and they sat there for like 15 minutes thinking they were playing. Ben calls him Sammy. Ben is pretty outgoing and Sam is a complete introvert and doesn't usually play w kids his own age. For awhile I thought Ben was just cramping Sam's style, but it turns out they have a true friendship. Who knew?
Dentist office waiting room. Hilly was playing princesses at her friend Emily's house. I picked her up right after- for Tuesday is Dance and Tumbling night.
Waiting to grab Jack from dance, eyeing up the in-line skate crew.
This girl.
These 2. How enormous is Corncob getting?
I love these 2. Before we picked up Emily and her friend from play practice (we get to go see her school's performance of Beauty and the Beast. She is student director), they watched an episode of Magic School Bus.
The week before at Hannah's house, while I took the big girls to tumbling.
Miss Anne was hanging w the littles.
And that's it. Tonight is yoga night again. I don't think I mentioned that I will be coaching Jackie's soccer team this season. Emily and Betsy said they would help and if the soccer association doesn't mess up my player requests, I plan on forcing many other mothers to help too. This is funny because not only did I hate soccer (I played one year on an a team with all boy and me and 2 other girls), but I know literally nothing about it. But I read a few good articles on coaching girls and hopefully at age 7 expectations are nice and low, right? Haha. Anyway, I watched Jack's field hockey practice and plenty of soccer practices and tennis lessons now and I definitely know what NOT to do.
