We had our regular weekly visit from Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom and there was plenty of swimming and homework to tackle. The week led up to an BUSY weekend.
On Friday night we had movie night - pizza and Madagascar 3.
On Saturday, Lily was picked up at 6:30 a.m. for day one of her two day swim meet. Marcy headed out about an hour later to cheer her on and Jack and I got ready for flag football. It was very cold but Jack had a great time playing on the local high school's artificial turf field. After football, Jack and I ran a couple of errands and got home just in time to see Lily and Marcy off to a weekend Brownie's activity. Jack then headed off for a play date with his friend Beckett. After the play date, Jack and Marcy picked up Cousin Emilie who was in town and came by for a visit. We all went to dinner and then Emilie watched the kids so Marcy and I could go to a movie.
On Sunday, it started all over again! More swim meet - Emilie tagged along to a very hot pool. Then it was home for lunch before heading out to swim lessons. Jack is taking swim lessons on Sunday afternoon and Lily is doing a clinic at the same time so we had a bit more time at the natatorium! After swimming, Lily headed home with Marcy, Emilie was off the train and Jack and I headed out to the bowling ally for neighborhood buddy Noah's birthday party. Jack had a great time bowling, eating pizza and cake. Then it was off to Chuck E. Cheese's for school friend Hailey's birthday party. Then it was time to go to home and go to bed!
Another crazy weekend in the books. It should calm down this weekend - the end of football (although basketball starts the next week), a little more swimming and ... oh, that's right, Jack turns 5!
Here are some pictures and video.
Consulting with Marcy.

Getting some instruction from Coach Jen.

you guys are going to have a real vacation when you come to florida...do you remember how to relax??? Life with children....that's what it is...busy....happy...healthy...fun...enjoy Jack's celebration!!
We have it from a reliable source that Lily's swim meet went very well. Her cousin Emilie (whose hair was even more curly as she watched in the hot, humid pool area) said that Lily bettered two of her times. Emilie is very impressed with Lily's skills, her speed, her endurance and her motivation. She must get her love of the sport from the Wright side of the family - cuz she certainly doesn't get it from us!!!!!!
