It’s been busy. Peter has a million sports practices doing club basketball, high school basketball, and soccer. Curtis finished up his basketball and started 7 on 7 football. Henry has been in a play that did performances last week. Zack has had swimming lessons. I’ve had garden design clients and gardening. Joe’s been sick for a few weeks but is finally on the mend after getting meds. It’s crazy but in a good way.

I went on a field trip with Zack. He wanted me to go so badly, and I surprised him. He loved it. I did not, but sometimes it’s worth making your kids happy.

And there is still lots of leisure, we got a new couch that has been getting lots of use. And it looks exactly like our old one: the problem wasn’t the aesthetics but the couch breaking out the back, thanks to kids. Luckily, it’s also been warm outside, so it’s a lot easier to keep the kids entertained. Except for Evie, who thinks she’s old enough to ride her strider bike down the street all by herself: I have to keep a close eye on her and have lost her too many times.
