SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Ok, maybe Spring temps and the weather hasn't sprung but our Spring routine certainly has sprung! Things are getting a bit crazy on this end, go figure! Soccer practice twice a week has started, along with baseball practice a couple of times a week for Jake. Toss in Allie's weekly dance class and 3 weeks of soccer for her. Add in a Scout meeting on average once a week between the 2 kids. Oh & why not throw in PTA meetings, Talent Show co-chair stuff, getting the kid's acts ready for the Talent Show & subbing a couple times a week. WHEW!

So, we got 4.5 inches of snow over the weekend. Yes, I said snow. Yes, it is April here! I was NOT happy about it. Fortunately, it melted with in 48 hours & we are now seeing signs of Spring all over...if we could just get the temps up about 10-15 degrees life would be awesome!

On Monday, I got the pleasure of going to observe Allie's dance class. They gave us a preview of the upcoming year end recital. I think it will be cute. Jake got suckered into dancing with his sister at the end of class & I think he might have enjoyed himself a little! Allie also signed up for her Fall dance class. She has decided to take a ballet/tap combo class.

The kids went to birthday parties last weekend. Jake spent his time at the rec center for Sam's b-day. Allie went bowling for Renee's party. Both kids had a great time.

Scott & I went out for dinner & drinks with friends last weekend. It was wonderful to get out &
relax.

Jake placed 3rd in Scott's NCAA pool at work. He won $50 (only $40 after Scott made him pay the $10 entry fee). I had a LONG discussion with Jake about gambling & what happens when you DON'T win. I think/hope he gets it.

This weekend is Easter & we don't have big plans, instead lots of little plans. Jake has both soccer and baseball practices. We are getting together with part of Jake's Talent Show group to figure out the routine so we are ready for practices next week. Allie has a b-day party for her friend Wyatt. Scott is planning to paint Allie room...guess what color??? Yep, pink! We are also planning to color eggs in preparation for the bunny's arrival.

Next week brings: ballet class, 2 soccer games for Allie, 2 soccer practices and a soccer game for
Jake, 2 baseball practices for Jake, religion class, a PTA meeting, a funderaiser night at Texas Roadhouse, Talent Show auditions, practice for the Talents Show for Jake's group, volunteering in Allie's classroom, subbing, Daisy Scout meeting and an Earth Day celebration/Cub Scout meeting.


Allie talks Jake into being her partner at one point.
Allie shows us 2nd position in ballet (I think)
