It was another busy week in our lives, but I guess I don't really want to think of the alternative...the day when my kids are grown and the house is quiet again. Last week was more work, and although I have another half day scheduled the day after Memorial Day, I'm hoping we've pretty much reached the end. And by the way, I'll write my feelings about our school year in another post!
JR's baseball team continues to roll right along. He had a really great hit yesterday, and almost was able to get someone out at third from the catcher position. It was a hot day, but the team still played really well. JR also had a collision at first base and my husband is still convinced he should have been awarded first base. It is what it is though, and I'm just glad that he wasn't hurt in the collision. We've come to the conclusion that while JR is by no means a baseball star, he's a good solid player and we are willing to invest some money in this aspect of his life. We are looking into joining a fall baseball league for him, and if we can get enough players interested, my husband will sign up to coach as a team.
Friday night JR officially completed his requirements to move up to the Tenderfoot rank in scouting. I truly don't understand how all of this works, but I'm so grateful for the leaders that guide us through the process. We took the opportunity to get some other errands and things done while JR was gone. He'll have the Court of Honor review Monday evening (which they've assured us he can go first so we can dash to his baseball game!) and then in two weeks he'll have the actual Court of Honor ceremony. I certainly hope it's cooler than it is today (it's in the upper 80's and I had to break down and turn on the a/c)!
After JR's game yesterday, my wonderful husband took our kids, and a wonderful surprise visitor from out of town to lunch, and another family joined them all for lunch. I headed north to watch my cousin's eight year old play in his baseball game. It was one of the few where there were no conflicts with my own kids' games, and since the weather was cooperative I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to see him play. In spite of two applications of sun block, my skin is still showing the effects of so much sunshine! Last evening my friend and I had plans to attend a "31" party and our husbands gathered the kids together for movie night, and we joined in after our gathering. It was a very late evening for everyone again, and I'm seeing it a little bit in everyone's behaviors today. Only 11 more days of school though, and I'm very grateful!
