The boys have one final week of school before summer break officially begins for them! Mommy has a couple more weeks of work before I can join my boys for our summer adventures! I absolutely love the weeks I get to spend with my boys... making plans with friends, spontaneously creating plans the day of and sometimes not having a plan at all! Until then... here is what we have been up to the last couple weeks....
We had an unseasonable cool and wet Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed rest time, indoor activities including board games such as Sequence and Clue and spent some time outdoors playing in the cool, rainy conditions. It was fun heading to the nearby field to play soccer... the Zs versus the Ms.... As you will notice, Mommy got cold and had to borrow Daddy's rock festival shirt to offer an extra layer of warmth for the outdoor conditions. We also fit in a birthday party for Josh and a movie with the Kennedys (the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3). It was a relaxing and fun three day weekend!
Zander finished his artwork that he has been working on at school. He is proud of his mug that went through the kiln!
In the world of sports, Zander tried out for a travel soccer team and made it! He will be starting this new adventure in August! We are excited to support his passion for this sport and that he will continue to develop and strengthen his skills on the soccer field! Maddox finished his baseball season this past Friday night. They had a tournament that lasted all week. Maddox's team came into the tournament undefeated and encountered a tough loss in the championship game! Personally, Maddox had a great final game with hits each time up to bat, a couple doubles and RBIs to account for half the runs scored in the championship game. He showed progress with his fielding abilities as well. He says he will be back on the baseball field next spring after a fall season of soccer and winter season of basketball. Until then, we will enjoy a couple months of minimal evening commitments. ;)
On Saturday, I went with my mom and sister for our annual mother-daughter spa day. It is one of my favorite days of the year! Fortunately, the weather cooperated perfectly! We started out with a workout at the fitness center, massages at 10:00 a.m. and then pool time for the afternoon. We enjoyed "Mermaid Water" drinks and lunch poolside before getting our showers and heading to J Peppers for dinner! With the hectic schedules of work and parenting, it is nice to have a day free of interruptions where we can chat and catch up. I always love hearing their perspective on the current topics we are discussing and love that we share such a close relationship. I wish everyone were as blessed and lucky as me to have such an awesome support system! :)
After church today, we went to see Mia at her dance recital. Zander and Mia have been best friends since kindergarten. It was so much fun to support her in something she loves! I am including a comparison picture from when Zander went to her kindergarten dance recital in 2019.... where did our babies go?! I cannot believe they will be fifth graders by the end of the week!
