THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

UPDATES

Here is what went on last week...

Allie Soccer: Al started soccer last week. She is on the green team & is having a ball. The first day they just did drills. The 2nd day they had a game & Al's team won! She has 4 more soccer practices/games & is done. Next year, she can play CVYSA (if she wants) which is the league Jake is in & will consist of 2 practices a week & 6 games over about an 8 week period in the Fall & Spring. UGH!

Jake Soccer: Jake had 2 soccer practices last week, one in the pouring rain. He had a game on Saturday (it rained) & it was probably the most exciting soccer game I have ever seen. They ended up tying 5-5 and our boys looked pretty good. This is the next league up (U10) and there are new rules & positions, so Jake is still learning. I'm not a fan of soccer, but did enjoy this match!

Jake Football: Jake had 2 football practices last week, one in the rain. His team lost on Saturday 18-0. It was raining during the game & the ball was really slippery. There were a couple of fumbles that could have resulted in a score or two for us. Oh well!

Allie's Foot: Allie went to the doc again for her planter's warts. They are finally going away!! Yeah! We will have another follow up visit in a few weeks & hopefull that will be it! This all started in June & we've been seeing the doc every 3 weeks for treatment. I'm ready to be done!

PTA: I had our first PTA meeting of the year last week. Believe it or not, I didn't agree to chair anything new! I was pretty proud of myself. I also hosted a carnival meeting here last week & I think we are ready for the carnival to take place in less than 2 weeks.

Jake's Weekly Tests: Once again my brilliant (I'm biased, I know) son got a 100% on his spelling test & a 100% on his reading test. Yeah Jake!

No School: There was no school on Friday, which was nice. We got a few things handled around here. I still have a ton of catching up to do, but I am not subbing today or tomorrow so that should help!

Kitchen: Scott spent yesterday painting the kitchen. It looks really nice. I'll spend today moving stuff back into the kitchen. Tomorrow our fridge, dishwasher, water softener & microwave will be delivered. The stove is on back order & should arrive next week. I'm hoping we can pick out our new countertops over the weekend.

Popcorn Kernal: My job as the co-popcorn kernal has officially begun. The packets are ready to given out to the Scouts & paperwork is done. Now we are at a standstill until the orders have to be placed.

This week: Allie has dance & 2 soccer games/practices. Jake has 2 football & 2 soccer practices plus a game for each. Both kids start Religion this week and both are having friends over on Wednesday after school. Tonight is Jake's Pack kick off meeting & my popcorn info meeting.
