Spring fun

Austin has started spring soccer.  He enjoyed soccer in the fall so we signed him up again.  We wanted to sign Sydney up but there was no tot available for a reasonable price.  The tot soccer was more than Austin's soccer so we decided to pass for now.  Austin has soccer practice on Wednesday nights and games on Saturday mornings.  Austin knew a lot about soccer from last year.  He really enjoyed running the field and playing goalie.  Austin knew how to play defense and we believe that is related to all the Cavs games he watched.

Austin and Sydney are in swim class on last time before summer break.  We take the summer off from swim class since we go to Wild Water.  They now go to swim class in the mornings.  Austin does not like that at all. But because of the Cavs we didn't want to do the evenings.  Austin has gotten better and swimming and is probably the best one in his class this time.

Our library started a program to read 1000 books before Kindergarten.  Since Austin starts in August we don't have much time to do that.  Austin is excited about it loves for me to read him books.  They get about 30 books every week from the library.  I used to only allow around 5 books each but now they get a ton and love it.  So I'm fine with it.  This week was our last week of story time.  It makes me sad because we have been going every week for over 2 years.  We always take the summers off from story time too.  But in the fall, only Sydney will be attending story time.

The kids continue not to usually take a nap unless there is a Cavs game or watch party.  Austin is good a taking a nap when he knows he'll be up late.  Sydney is difficult to get to nap but usually she finally will.  They go to bed around 8:30pm now.  Sometimes a little earlier and sometimes a little later.

Brian has been working hard getting the camper all set up for camping.  We are hoping to camp Memorial day weekend so we are trying to get it all set up.  Austin is extremely excited to go camping.  We hope we all enjoy it.

For Mother's day, the school has muffins with mom.  Usually because of work, I don't attend.  However this year because it's Austin's last year there, I made sure I attended.  The kids were even happy to go to school early for me to go.  It was sweet.  We had a nice breakfast there together.  I was so grateful.

On Saturday, we went to gladiators game. We got free tickets from the Cavs so we decided to take the kids. It was fun. Austin liked it. Sydney enjoys the snacks while watching the game.  It was fun. We left early because we've been there so much with the Cavs.

On Mother's day, I went to my parents house in the morning.  We got mom flowers and the kids made her a card.  Austin and Sydney enjoy playing on the deck.  They like making pictures to hang on the deck.  Then we went home and kids made me lunch in the camper.  That was the first meal we had there. The kids had a lot of fun bring out food to the camper.  They even got me a planter flower.  It was very nice.   Then we went down to the Q for a watch party.  The Cavs won so we had a great day.
