Alex played soccer in Milwaukee at ages 3 and 4. The lesson was an hour long and they did drills, played silly games, etc. Teague is taking soccer at age 3 and also for an hour. The difference is after a handful of “practices” they are playing real games. It’s cute to watch and the older kids (they range from 3-5) are actually getting the concept. Teague loves to run the field but he doesn’t really understand the rest. He tries to hold the coach’s hand, pick flowers, and just run. They put him as goalie and he does understand that he stands in that one spot but doesn’t actively try to stop the ball. It’s hilarious. My favorite is when he decided to tell two kids on the other team (red) that they couldn’t be goalie (they were standing to close to his net). This child is scare of nothing!
Alex really wanted to try baseball this year so we signed him up for Bitty Baseball. I don’t know if it’s because he is five or because he really loves baseball, but he did great. He barely wanted to stop for water breaks. The one sport Wade and I were really hoping to avoid seems to be a winner – at least for this summer.
In our last two houses, Wade and I have both wanted to move the garbage disposal to a different location. In our last house it was from the small middle section to the deep left side. In this house it was from the shallower right to the deeper left. Is it weird that I want the disposal on the deeper side? That is where I find myself scrubbing/soaking/etc. That of course means that then there are more food particles on that side. Regardless my awesome husband moved it for me today and it only took two trips to the local hardware store.
We have a guest room above our garage, which means it is completely separate from the house. The only way into it is through the garage. It’s a little strange but it does make it easy to keep off limits to the kids and give visitors a little extra space. It is also one of the few rooms that is completely done (or close enough). That means we are ready for visitors!!
I was working on pictures for a photo wall and realized I never posted these pictures taken by Christine Plamann right before Easter (and Teague’s eyelid surgery). We had a 15 minute session and I love the pictures she got!!
