May 2017

The school year is winding down...Buggy has his last day of preschool tomorrow with a class picnic on Thursday, and Peanut has just under three weeks of school left now in her kindergarten year.  Spring session for swim team ends at the end of this week, and soccer has only one practice/game left a week from Saturday (they took off this Saturday due to Memorial Day).

Right after soccer ends, Buggy will try his hand at t-ball.  I think his Daddy is pretty excited - and it's looking like he might end up coaching.  Hopefully that will be a lot of fun for them.  Then after school gets out for Peanut she's going to try her hand at basketball.  There's a two week camp offered at her school so we'll see if it really is 'her thing' like she thinks it's going to be.

Speaking of 'her thing', our little rockstar had another swim meet last weekend - Spring Tune-Up.  She did a great job and managed to get best times in all events from diving off the edge of the pool (instead of off the block).  25 backstroke and 25 butterfly were her best times ever - 25 freestyle and 25 breaststroke she's gone a little faster before but only from the blocks.  She ended up with two 4th place finishes (back and fly) and two 6th place finishes (free and breast).  She had an absolute blast and I am loving watching her swim her heart out and improve tremendously!

Peanut had her dance recital a couple of weekends ago and I continue to be ridiculously impressed by her presence and grace onstage.  She carries herself so well and really shines in the spotlight.  You can tell she loves it up there.  She had considered being done with dance after this year....but then the recital came around and she got a taste of the stage again and now she is reconsidering.  We will see - it's a mighty big commitment to make for a mere two minutes in the spotlight once per year.  Both from a time and financial standpoint.  We'll revisit the possibility of dance class again at the end of the summer.

This was a short update, but it's late and I'm pretty exhausted.  Hopefully I can write more next time.
