Baseball, baseball and more baseball!!

Spring time is filled with end of school activities and BASEBALL!! We enjoy baseball at least four days a week!! I really don't mind it, it gets us out and the other kids get to play at the park, but when it comes to Jack's games it can be a killer!! When Jack plays we spend almost a good three hours there, this makes for a long night!! Now that Tim's home I usually run the little three home around 7:30-8:00 to get them ready for bed. Jack's games end at 8:30, but by the time they are done doing their team talk and gathering their things we usually don't get home until close to 9!! This is crazy late for us, because our kids start school at 7:30!! But it all works out and I really enjoy watching the boys play!! (Olivia wanted to play softball, but we missed the sign up date so she'll have to wait until next year.) So that's what we've been up to.

6 weeks left of school, I can't believe it!! I'm so excited for summer time this year, I can tell it's going to be a great one!! The ice cream truck has our street pegged for one with close to 50 kids, the pool will be opening soon, the inflatable pools and sprinklers have already been put to good use, there's caterpillars in our bug homes, the flowers on the front porch are growing much faster than I could of imagined, summer "mini" trips are being planned, and we leave for Disney in 3 weeks!!! We have the kids signed up for a few camps, but mostly I'm hoping to enjoy our time here at home, watching the kids play in the street and going to the pool!! How I love summer break and well just summertime!! It will be great (I hope) to have the kids home for a good few months!! I don't miss them quite as much as I did in Jackson, because they are home so early in the day, but it will be nice to sleep in and be free to just hang out!!

Jack will be going to middle school next year...wow...I just can't believe it!! We also figured out that when Max goes to Kindergarten, Jack will be going into the 9th grade (HIGH SCHOOL people), Olivia will be going into 6th grade (MIDDLE SCHOOL) and Harrison will be going into the 4th grade...ummmm how is this possible!!! Seems like life is just flying by and I would really love nothing more but to hit that pause button!!! It's just shocking how fast they grow up, which I know everyone always says, but really wow where has 11 almost 12 years gone?!?! I'm trying really hard to absorb every moment, and take all of those moments I can get!!

So anyways I'm not really sure what I'm actually posting about, Harrison had a T-ball game this morning, we had lunch at Tenders..which we are in L-O-V-E with, played outside for about a hour with the kids, helped Max with the watering of the flowers, and I just came up here to put him in bed and thought why not sneak in a quick post while everyone is outside and it's all quiet and peaceful inside!! Alright I'm off to read a book on my front porch, and watch the older kids play outside until crazy man Max wakes from his nap!!
