Both kids played in a soccer tournament this weekend. The results weren't great, but they both played really well. Each scored goals, which is fun to see. This was Beth's first tournament - she finally got to play instead of watching her brother.
We've been busy with life. The kids have a four-day weekend. I think they needed a break. They don't go back to school until Tuesday. Andy has been working hard at school. He's enrolling in 9th grade Math next year. It will good to challenge him. He also had to register for his 8th grade elective classes. It was fun to see what he picked.
Beth has been busy at school - they had their Safety Patrol pizza party last week. They are also planning their field trip to the Dells in May. Both Madison and Dells field trips fall while I'm still working. Bummer.... I wanted to go. She only had music as an elective to register for 6th grade. She signed up for band and wants to play the flute. Kind of bummed I sold mine now.
My work has been crazy. I was down to Madison last week with some students and we're back again this week. We were down at the Capitol last week showcasing our Marketing Research project. It was fun to spend the day on the rotunda. I'm going with the Centurgy group this week - it's a central WI group of government and business leaders who are going down to meet with the Lt. Governor, Governor and Legislators. We get to listen in on these meetings. Will be quite the experience. Also, the Wisconsin Manufacturing Council is having their big event and we get to sit in on that is well. It's an overnight, so Tim will be in charge for a couple of days. Sounds like they are already planning on skipping CCD for that night.
On top of that, my students are working with three different businesses/organizations with projects for class. I have a lot of balls in the air right now. It makes my job interesting, but sometimes a little crazy.
It is also Birthday Party season. It seems like each kid has had two parties in the last month. At least the presents are getting easier - Gift Cards.
The basement is finally starting to get worked on. We seemed to have stalled with the electricity. The electrician is coming on Wednesday. Once that is done, we can start the drywall. We really need the extra space. It was nice in the old house when the kids had friends over. Now they take over our house - when the basement is done, we can shove them downstairs. Andy wants to move his room downstairs. Tim isn't thrilled about that, but I can see why Andy wants to. His room doesn't have a lot of privacy with the big windows towards the street. Plus, this would give the kids their own bathroom - something to think about when they have to get ready at the same time next year.
Tim's back is getting better. We celebrated our 18th anniversary last week. We went out to eat to the place he took me on our first date. It was sweet.
Tomorrow brings more soccer practise and skating lessons. Beth's costumes are in for the show. She tried one on last week and will get to see the other one tomorrow. It is always fun to see the girls try on their costumes and get excited about the show. The show is March 17 and 18....in case anyone wants to come and needs tickets.........
