3/31 - What a day. I got up and worked out at the gym. Luckily we
changed baseball game from 8am to 11:30am so I could do that. The
neighborhood had easter egg hunt at the clubhouse at 10:30 so we went to
that and the kids had fun hunting eggs and eating a cookie or two.
Then we headed to baseball game. Kids played well. Landon got a good
hit and got an out when playing pitcher by running home. Then we took
some lunch home and attempted to get the kids to rest. We sort of
watched Tangled and sort of rested. Landon then had a soccer game at
4:45pm. He played really well. He scored 3 goals and played some good
defense as well. We were very proud of him today. We went to Pan Vino
for dinner to celebrate. Needless to say Landon was tired when we got
home. Maybe he'll sleep in tomorrow (not likely).
3/30 - Realized yesterday after another mom pointed it out that Kasey
is very sure of herself and when not throwing fits pretty mature for
her age. She has decided on her own that she doesn't want to do
gymnastics anymore. In her room we've had a little music box that
plays classical music melodies. She listened to that to go to sleep
from probably birth. Last week she decided she didn't want it anymore
and in fact didn't want it or the basket it was in in her room at all.
We're trying to figure out summer schedules and camps!
3/25 -
We went out to brunch at cafe Brazil. Then the kids, Grammy and I went
to a circus under the big top right by our house. We all got to ride
an elephant. The kids got to ride a camel, train, ponies, go to petting
zoo, and bounce house. Then on top of that we got to see fun circus.
For dinner we picked up Chinese and had dinner with Greg's parents,
grandmother and sister. Greg's mom made red velvet cake which was
really yummy.
3/24 - We had our first weekend of 2 games on Saturday. We had
baseball at 9:10am. The boys played well for first game and the weather
was great. We went home so Greg and Landon could shower, and then we
went and had a nice lunch/brunch on the patio at Uncle Julios. That
afternoon we had soccer pictures and soccer game. Afterwards of course
the kids were tired. We went to a pizza place near the house and had
dinner then got kids home to shower and bed.
3/23 - We went to Adventure Landing for Alfonso's birthday party.
The kids got to play video games, miniature golf and Landon got to ride
a go cart. It was Landon's first time in a go cart. He did good, but
have a couple times he ran into things. Of course this means the kids
were up late which to start off the weekend. Bad part for our kids
especially Landon is that it doesn't really matter what time he goes to
bed, he still gets up between 7 and 7:30. So if they are up late, that
just means less sleep.
3/18 - We had been getting some things done around the house. Greg
had painted Kasey's bathroom. We had gone shopping to get some things
for their bathrooms. We got Landon's set up except his mirror.
3/17 - Today we went to Nanny's (Greg's grandmother) 90th birthday
party. We had it at the church and had many family and friends there to
celebrate this big milestone.
3/15 - 3/16 - I took a couple days off at end of spring break to
spend with the kids. Thursday we slept in a little bit and hung out at
the house in the morning. We took Kasey to swim lessons - for some
reason she really wants to play around rather than do what she's
supposed to do. She did the same thing this week at gymnastics. We'll
have to work on that. Then we went to Snuffers to have lunch. Greg
started teaching Landon how to play Sudoku which might be fun for him
this summer.
He's also getting better at crossword puzzles since he can
more easily figure out the words.
In the afternoon the kids and I went shopping to look for new stuff
for their bathrooms. We are getting new shower curtains and accessories
for the kids. Landons wants sports, and we're still working on Kaseys.
While we were out Greg painted Kasey's bathroom.
On Friday, I got up early to work out to make sure I got it in.
Then Greg had to go into work so the kids and i headed to a
neighborhood playdate at a park. I was getting everything and the kids
decided to get in the front seat and buckle up ready to go. They are
so silly. We headed to the park. There were a few families there, but I
don't think how many normally go. One of the moms is becoming a
bradley instructor where are the birth classes that I took so that was
fun to talk to her.
One of kiddos from Landon's Baseball team was
there. We ended up playing soccer the three of us which was fun. Then
we decided to go to the Chocolate Angel for lunch. Grammy had gone the
day before and I wanted the kids to try their strawberry pretzel salad.
We called on the way to get a reservation and had a nice lunch just
the 3 of us. Then we headed home to start working on the bathrooms.
We put some of Landon's stuff in his bathroom and it looked good. We
need to get Kasey's bathroom back functional, but we liked some of what
we bought her.
Greg got home and decided he was ready to go buy his iPad 3. So we
headed out to do that and get dinner. We went to Big Easy and kids got
to try benyas for the first time. Kasey really liked it, Landon was
pretty full.
We had bought the kids new summer pajamas. Kasey is wearing size 5T -
I can't believe it and Landon is in 6. Kasey chose an Angry Bird night
gown. We'll see if she likes a night gown. Landon got a sports one and
2 Lego Star Wars.
Now I'm enjoying some Rose wine and hanging out while Greg is playing with his ipad.
3/10
- It's been raining some on and off this week. We weren't sure if we
were going to have a soccer game this morning, but we did. Luckily our
game was early because a few hours later it started raining and
continued most of the day. Landon was playing mid field which he
wasn't to sure what that meant since he's never practiced it. He played
pretty well today
In the afternoon we took the kids to grandparents to spend the
night. Greg and I went out to eat at new restaurant Savour in Watters
Crossing. It was pretty good, but the Sangria was not good. Then Greg
took me to Bonnie Ruths for some yummy dessert. We then headed back
home for some wine and a movie!
3/9 - Landon got Knight of the week for the 2nd time this year (for this class). Way to go Landon!
3/7
- Today Grammy and I got to go have lunch with Landon at school. It
was supposed to be a Luau, but for some reason only Landon and I were
dressed in Hawaii shirts. oh well. We got to sit by our neighbor the
Turners and Studdards so that was fun. After lunch we went to the book
fair to get a few books for the kids. We had a good time.
Tonight was the first baseball practice. Greg is the head coach of
the Knights (same as the school mascot). All of the kids are from
Norton so most of them know each other - which is good and bad. Greg
went through what baseball is, the running the bases, and some fielding.
I think it went well for first practice. Kids got a little crazy at
one point so Greg made them run. should be a fun season. The parents
seem really nice. We have 4 boys that are playing baseball and soccer
together.
3/4 - this morning the kids got their tents down, and set up their
pillows and quilts like they were sleeping. they set up everything
outside the tents like they were going to bed, water, 2 kleenex (?? not
sure why), and found a little plastic case that they put their pretend
cell phones in (they were charging). Then after that Landon set up some
cards we had that had letters, pictures and words on them. He was
trying to help Kasey learn letters. She's starting to get there. She
knows M (we've switched that M is for Monkey instead of McDonalds), K
for Kasey, S for Shrek, W for what see at Women's bathrooms, O & X
(we think from tic tac toe). She also sometimes knows A, B, L. She'll
get there.
We had lunch with Greg's family to celebrate Pops Birthday. We went
to Spring Creek BBQ and then had German Chocolate cake for dessert -
yum, we ate to much. Landon worked on some new legos and Kasey worked
on letters and watching Daddy and Pops work outside.
3/3 - Landon had his first soccer game today playing for the
Bengals. He scored a goal, and had a pretty good game. We also went
to dinner tonight with the Cracknells land Turners. We went to Jason's
Deli - kids were a little crazy, but it was fun.
3/1 - We found out today that Landon was accepted into the gifted and
Talented program for Allen School district. He had to go through
multiple stages of testing for creative and achievement (more academic).
We are very proud of him. In kindergarten they start at doing 1
hour a week in the program and he will be in this program through 12th
grade.
