Mayhem part 3! (May 13th -21st)

Demo work of the office started May 11th, this was the 12th our old hardwood floor that was under the carpet was all ripped out. I'll make a separate office remodel post with all the details. 

May 14th started wit ha track meet, Thomas had a baseball game, Emma had a soccer game, Isaac had a baseball game he missed because he also had a band concert. Busy night!

Mary had a Chinese class field trip

Isaac had a baseball tournament over the weekend, photos from Friday night's game; thanks Bill!:

Saturday Emma also had a tournament in Apple Valley (about 30 minutes south of us)

Another player's dad took these photos: Emma was the only one to score a goal in the first game

Lunch and a change of jersey's for game two of the day

Emma got the GOAT award! 

And a nap on the way home. 

Sunday more soccer, but I got a bike ride in first

They won all three tournament games and made it to the championship game, lost in the tie breaker kick off. 

Monday May 18th was the last morning track practice for these two: 

Tuesday I got a haircut, woohoo! Then GOTR

 

Followed by a track meet, baseball, ice skating, and soccer. However Kyle was traveling again so we only did track and Thomas's last ice skating lesson that evening. Emma was sad to miss soccer but we (I) can only do so much and this was an evening we needed to say no to some things. 

Our evenings are so insane, it's why I wake up at 5 am to swim. And get to see these amazing sunrises in April and May. 

Thursday May 21st our GOTR group did their community impact project, they made cat scratches for the humane society. Isn't the fun!?!

That evening Mary joined me and Emma on a 45 minutes drive south for another soccer game, And a turn of weather made it a cold one!

Mayhem! Week 1 (May 1st -7th)

Friday, May 1st

Sneaking in some yoga before a crazy weekend!

Mary had three ice shows (and only 2 minutes of skate time in the whole thing but it was fun to watch). Friday night was the first show, I was volunteering so got to hang out at the rink.

Saturday morning run before back at the rink for the day. Got in some wall cleaning before Mary's 2:00 show. 

Fun to experience an ice show for the first time, but we were all tired!

Sunday right into baseball for Thomas

Monday night Isaac had a game (More pictures by Bill)

Will all the running we do of kids here to there, I don't REALLY get to watch much... so it's so nice Bill shared these photos. Kyle is coaching Thomas so he is always at his games, and I usually only get to see an inning or two at a time in-between running someone else to their sports. 

Preparing for the girls to get a new bed for their birthday! They had fun on the floor for a few nights. 

3D printing party favors for their upcoming skating party. 

Track has started as well! First meet Tuesday, May 5th

Isaac at the hurdles.

Emma at the 100m sprint

Isaac 100m: 

One bed made - Emma's loft bed, nice and tall. We had issues finding bunk beds tall enough to not hit the lights on the walls. This is an XL twin size. 

Prepping for the GOTR practice 5K :-) 

Mary was awarded the spirit of South View award, I am SOOOOO proud of her. Each teacher nominates ONE student so it's a pretty big deal, top 10% of the large school. 

We got to attend a little breakfast celebration the morning of May 7th.

GOTR 5K! YAH!

 

Birthday beds complete!

Mary's is a queen on the bottom with plenty of headspace to sit up in bed. (she hated bonking her head on the top bunk)
