President's Day weekend

Well actually I suppose I need to go back to Thursday night! We took the kids swimming! Indoors of course, but the water felt good! There was tons of try to dunk mommy and splashing and playing. Mostly good to hear everyone laughing and playing together.

Friday the kids had their valentine's parties at school. I took them all balloons and treats for the day and got their teachers roses and vases with balloons. They are all very proud to give all their teachers the little gifts we buy for them. Friday night Wil had footskills with WC. He likes doing the ladder drill where it is how fast your feet can move! Kate had a basketball game and saved us! She had 12 of the 16 points. Ok so maybe "save" is a bit dramatic (yes, I have been called that a time or two ;-) since the game was 16-4, but it seemed that no one could make any baskets. She had two beautiful shots from just at the free throw line that were as pretty as any high schools! Kristen went to rollercade with her girlfriends.

Saturday was Valentine's day! We had a great day together! Wil had a basketball game that he won by one point. Kate had another basketball game where she scored 10 points! So it was a 22 point weekend for her!!

Sunday Kate had an indoor footsol game (last one of the season YEAH!) she won 2-1 and she had BOTH of the scores! One an awesome blast into the back of the net and another one off of a penalty shot she took when they shoved her down in the goal box. She has a nice scab on her elbow. Sunday was the first time she took her earrings out for a game and it was dramatic (think she is like me eh?? ;-) Getting them back in was even worse! It is amazing how thin the skin is on the back of her ear, but we survived! She then went straight to footskills at Viz. She is a dedicated player!

Kristen had a soccer game on Sunday. Her team lost by one point, but she had two shots on goal, one that was a blast that almost knocked over the goalie! And Sunday night she had a basketball game that they lost, but once again it was very physical. For a sweet, skinny little thing she is the most aggressive on the court!!

Monday the kids spent the morning working on their fort. Then I took them to rollercade (most of my pictures were a blur!)This one was taken early before it got crowded, that is KJ in the pink.
Then it was off to piano!
Then Wil had a soccer pizza party with his Truman United team.


All in all it was a very busy weekend for the kids!
