A season of sports

Oh, boy, are we in the season of sports.  This is our first season will all 3 kids doing 3 different sports.  And it is working out okay.  Amazingly the practice schedule has not been conflicting.  The trade off is we have something every night.

Monday- Michael t-ball game 5:45-7

             -Andrew lacrosse practice (IM) 6-7:30

              ***these two are amazingly at adjoining fields.  How's that for magical coincidences!

Tuesday- Lily softball practice 6-7

Wednesday- Andrew lacrosse practice(IM) 6-7:30

Thursday-  NOTHING.  Except Michael occasionally has his Monday game moved to Thursdays.  booo

Friday- Andrew lacrosse practice (travel) 6-7:30

          - Lily softball game (every other week) 6-?

           ***not at the same field.  But it has worked out somehow

Saturday- Michael game 8:45

                Lily game 10:30

                Andrew game 4pm

Sunday- Andrew game (sometime in afternoon)

Do you see how much Andrew has lacrosse?  DO YOU SEE???  He is on the travel team this year, but he is still required to be on the intramural team as well.  Some weekends he has tournaments instead of games...which are far away and take ALL DAY.  

We have so many things we want to do this spring...mulch, recaulk shower, sit down and eat dinner occasionally.  But instead we are just running here and there, preparing bags of entertainment for the non-sport kids, washing uniforms, getting all the gear together, etc etc.  Once we are at the games it is actually really fun.  But all the practices and prep for those games.  Ugh.

But when I get a little overwhelmed, I have to remember that Andrew is getting great physical exercise 5 days a week.  He is having a blast learning rules and new plays and all the rest.  He never complains (!) because he is so enthusiastic about this sport.  

And it is just a season.  Until the next season.

Lily and Michael entertaining themselves at one of Andrew's lacrosse games.

Remember how I stressed about ruining Lily's life by having Michael?  Let's all have a collective laugh at that now.  I've simply provided her with the ultimate playmate.  Good thing they get along so great.

I adore this shot of Andrew.  You can actually tell it is him!

 On the run!
