Anyone else having a hard time grasping the fact that January is almost over? I swear Christmas was like 25 minutes ago!
This week has been a good one as we gear up for a February Calendar where I am going to spend 18/28 nights away from home. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be looking for February in my rear view mirror come March too...
Quinn started lacrosse practices this week. He's having fun with his new team - and is ridiculously excited to be playing with a whole team of boys that are really good. He's going to learn a ton this spring - and hopefully have a blast!
Spencer is still wrestling, which means he's missed a whole week of high school lacrosse evaluations. The transition periods between sport's seasons for multi-sport athletes is terrible. This year it's not really impacting any decisions that might be made because Spencer will play on JV and not really have a shot at varsity anyway. But if he DID have a chance, the fact that evals is the same week as prep for the regional individual wrestling tournament stinks. And he's going to have to end up making decisions about what sport to prioritize all through the summer. So much schedule conflict! He's planning on doing wrestling weight training AND lacrosse practices all spring. He's nuts... and busy... and really motivated.
The little boys are still doing jiu jitsu and start lacrosse on Feb 5th. The way the lacrosse practices worked out, Zane will be able to do both JJ and lacrosse through the spring and Beck will only miss one night of JJ because of conflict. They are also ridiculously busy... Bob and I laugh about the fact that our boys don't really know any different. I think they think it's just normal to go to school, grab dinner, head back out for some kind of activity and then rinse/repeat.
Last Friday night was the Mother/Son event at the elementary school. I think I've mentioned this before but I will have a son at that elementary school for 14 straight years. That's a lot of cold pizza and laser tag/ice skating/bowling! LOL The picture this week is the boys while we were waiting for our neighbor to leave. They were racing back and forth in the hall and having a blast because "running at school is prohibited". Ha! I thought it was cool to get a picture of them in their mostly deserted school with a completely empty hallway behind them! BTW - their faces are painted because it was a black-light/laser tag event. Just picture a dark gym full of noisy boys with laser guns. Good times...
Saturday Spencer wrestles for a spot in the Individual sectionals. They will take the top 4 wrestlers at each weight class to sectionals. There are 7 schools in our region. There are 2 guys we know he can't beat... like I love him, but there's no chance... so that leaves 2 spots for 5 guys. Decent odds... we shall see what happens!
Then Sunday we have a parent meeting for football. For next year. You know... because there aren't enough things to think about right now! HA! I'm sure they just want us to start fundraising... anyone wanna buy mulch?
Have a great week everyone!
