Crazy Spring Almost Over

We have 1 more day of school and I can't wait! This has been the busiest time we've ever had, these last 2 months. It was crazy and hectic when we got ready and went to Africa last year, with just 2 weeks notice, but this spring was much more busy. We have had so much going on. I've tried to take pictures of everything but sometimes it has taken weeks to get a few photos from an activity as we've been running around. Today will be the last day for any activities and we are ready for the break after enjoying all of them so much. Here was our schedule after school and work (for Jeff) each day.

We had Boy Scouts on Monday nights, Jeff as an Assistant Scoutmaster and Jacob has recently joined after earning his arrow of light in Cub Scouts and has earned his Scout Rank.

On Tuesdays we had to be especially organized and we didn't always remember some things we needed :)
First we had swim lessons, Jacob in the first session then Camryn and Bailey. They love swimming and are learning so much, it is so nice to know they are safe in the water and having fun!

Once Jacob had finished his lessons I would take him home to shower, then I had to go to Cub Scouts where I still help with Advancement. Isaac and Jacob would eat their dinner once at Cub Scouts or home.

When the girls had finished their swim lessons Jeff would take the 2 of them to the park for Camryn's soccer practice. The girls would eat their dinner in the car on the way. When they had finished they would swing by Cub Scouts to get Isaac so all the kids could go home and get ready for bed and finish showers.

Jeff and I would finally eat dinner once I was home about 9pm.

Wednesdays were a lot calmer, though busy in the mornings since the little kids and I would head to bible study once the big kids were at school.

Jeff would usually walk in the door to eat dinner with the straggler (Isaac) while the girls and I headed out for Girl Scouts. Camryn is a Daisy Scout and one of the other families had a girl Bailey's age so they would play together. We have the last meeting tonight. Camryn will be bridging to Brownie Scouts and Bailey is getting registered as a Daisy Scout. They have really enjoyed all the fun activities, learning so much and the fun field trips we had. I helped as the Cookie mom for the Troop.

We enjoyed a break most Thursdays. Once a month I had a Cub Scout meeting to attend and once a month Jeff had a practice for worship service at church. But usually we had nothing after 4:30 and we really enjoyed time at home together.

Friday we had one more soccer practice for Camryn. Half the time Jeff was still at work, but no matter who was there we would sit and watch her practice a little and the little kids would run and play in the open grass.

Saturdays were very different for us, this was the first time we had a scheduled event week after week. Camryn had 8 soccer games and we tried to support her as much as possbile. Jeff or I would go and sometimes we both got to go. But it was cold the first few weeks and the little kids whined too much to even let us watch the game so sometimes they stayed home with one of us. The last games were beautiful. She learned so much at soccer, this was her first time on a team. She played defense, they don't have a goalie at her age, most of the time and showed so much improvement; she also scored a goal in one game. They don't really keep score, but I think they ended up 3-3-2, all the losses were at the beginning of the season so we were so excited for the girls to get better and better. It was a fun new activity.

We all enjoyed all these activities so much but we will now enjoy the break and look forward to the next time we enjoy them :)
