It's been awhile since I've posted anything about our day to day life. So, here's a recap of the past few weeks:
- I've been subbing full time since before Thanksgiving. I've grown to love the 1st grade class that I'm in and enjoyed my days there. Today, is my first day off. The person I was subbing for is now back to work. I'm planning to get caught up around the house, prepare for Spring Break, sub a little and enjoy some time off!
- Allie is preparing for her dance recital, which will be in May. She is working hard on her routine. She thinks this will be her last year taking dance.
- Jake was asked to play baseball this summer on an IBL team (Iowa Baseball League). It is much more competitive than rec ball. The season is also much longer. Practices begin any time and our last games will be in mid-July. There will be several months when we have BOTH baseball and soccer going on for him. It could be a long Spring!
- Allie sold the most Girl Scout cookies in her troop this year. She was quite excited. Our next job will be to deliver those cookies!
- We spent my birthday weekend with my family. My mom had a family dinner with my siblings & their families. It was great to be with the people that mean the most to me.
- Scott's grandmother was airlifted to University of Iowa Hospitals a couple of weekends ago. We spent the night in the ER waiting to see how she was. After a long night, she was admitted and now continues to get better every day.
- Jake's Scout den went ice skating for an outing. Jake thought he could just get out and skate! WRONG! He got better after awhile. Allie came along & was sure to dress the part with her vest, matching gloves & hat. She looked adorable & did much better than Jake on skates.
- The kids had their Valentine's Day parties at school. They enjoyed giving and receiving lots of Valentine's and candy. They played games and had snacks at their parties too.
- Scott and I went out with friends for Valentine's Day. We saw the movie Taken (it was great) and went to dinner and then out for a few drinks. We had a nice time.
- Scott and Jake are working on Jake's Pinewood Derby car. The derby is in a couple of weeks and they are actually starting early for once! This will be the last car that they make, Jake has decided not to do Scouts next year. That is fine since his plate is full with football, soccer, baseball and basketball.
- Jake took in a UNI basketball game last week. He loves going to UNI events.
- Jake had his music concert/musical for school. My mom was able to come see his big performance. The musical was wonderful.
- This week brings: friend day at dance (Allie is bringing Jordyn), Cub Scout banquet, conferences for both kids, religion class, dentist appts, no school on Thursday/Friday and a quiet weekend.
