This past week has been non-stop for us.
I have been subbing and Joseph has had playoff games for baseball. We have been gone from the house 7am-10pm almost everyday...and then had to get up for a game this morning...and yes, it was soooo hot, and yes, I'm a little burned. I wished I just turned brown like my kiddos.
Anyway, because we haven't been here, I haven't been able to do ANY housework...it's a mess...but I'm wondering, since we weren't here...how did it get so wrecked?!
Anyway, playoffs are going good...if stressful can be called good...lol. The first game we tied 10 to 10, and instead of playing another inning, they did a tie breaker and we ended up as the losing team. You have to loose twice to get out, so we have played two more times and won. Both times we only won by one point. Our boys aren't playing their best, but they are doing pretty good. At this point, I could take it or leave it. I love for them to win, it's exciting...but so much stuff is going on right now, that it won't hurt my feelings if they get beat. I don't expect to win the playoffs, but it has gone really good. It has been so neat to see him come so far so fast in a sport he had no previous experience in. He is the smallest one on the team...for a couple of days we couldn't find his belt, and I swear, I thought his pants were gonna fall off when he was running the bases! He hit a home run in our last game...it was awesome watching him run all the way home...I felt so very proud!!! So, now we play again on Wednesday...and either way it goes, this has been a great season.
As for next week... the boys both have awards ceremonies, the both have class parties, Andrew has a 5th grade party, there is a school policies meeting, and then Andrew's graduation!!! It's the last week of school for us and I know it's gonna be so hectic...but thank you Lord, it's the last week. The boys have both had a very good school year...I'm really proud of their grades. Joseph didn't miss one day this year, and Andrew only missed two because of a virus. I have mixed emotions that Andrew will be in 6th grade...it's exciting, yet very scary! These are uncharted waters for David and I. I know that he is getting to an age, where, he is going to learn so much more (and I don't mean book wise), peer pressure, and other temptations...I can only pray GOD will protect him, give him courage & wisdom, and guide him to make the right choices. They just grow so fast.
Anyway, I am just ready for a break from school, sports, the rushing here and there. I am ready to relax and spend some quality time with my family! I want us to do lots of swimming, reading, day trips, and laughing together this summer.

Hugs, Katy

PS. Thinking about how fast they are growing (which is actually a constant in my mind) I went browsing through some pictures...look how sweet they were...
