Busy, Busy, Busy

School, soccer, and after school events have kept us quite busy so far this year. The boys are all doing great in school and are enjoying it. What more could you ask for? They have been going to soccer practice on Mondays and Wednesdays. Games start this weekend. Will and Noah have a bye week this first week, but Ethan has a game. I haven't been going to much of the practices. I have been trying to get my miles in each night so I only catch the last few minutes of Ethan's practice.

It is still quite warm here. Okay, hot! The kids are still able to swim in the 90+ degree pool and 85+ degree ocean. Later this week, we are supposed to have our first dip into the 60's at night since last spring! Sadly, Noah will want a coat for school on those mornings. He was complaining this morning when we left and it was 73. Normally, it is already 79 or so when we leave at 7:00.

On Saturday, Chris, Mike, Melissa, and I went to Sea World for the day. Katie and Matt watched all 6 kids for us. I was impressed! Matt looked ready to collapse when they left, but Katie could have kept on going I think. Sea World had an open house for teachers. Teachers always get in free at Sea World, but for the open house you could also bring in a guest for free. We didn't even have to pay for parking, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Plus, our school has a chance to win a field trip for 200 since we completed all of the "teacher" activities! Their new Manta roller coaster is pretty awesome.

Here are some recent pictures of the boys at the beach. Ethan was there, but apparently avoided the camera!



I can't believe that pretty soon it will be too cold for the beach and pool. We still have a month or so more.

Swim photos look so refreshing - our beach weather in WNY long gone - well, we hardly had any this year.

What about getting there a little bit earlier and opening car doors for the teachers???? It gets in the 40's here, but not until January and February. I can't believe it was in the 40's there this morning. cRaZy! It was toasty warm here.
