Soccer, and schooling, and running, oh my!

HI! Things look a little different here don’t they? I decided the blog needed a facelift. It feels a little more clean to me now.

Things have been BUSY. Let’t start with a quick recap before I plaster a bunch of pictures of my cute babes all over this page 😉

 

1. Our weekly soccer class has exploded into a small business! With a great deal of help from my web wizard friend Brittany we started a website, and expanded our class offerings. It has taken up a lot of time to get it going and prep for classes (which is mostly husband’s job). But, I think the result is pretty freakin’ cool.  We hope that this will really take off as a part time gig, but also as a way for us to give back to our community. Since our littles are so, well, little, there is not a lot of trips to be taken or anything for the next couple years, so we can commit a good portion of our time to this program. Curious about what I’m talking about? Check it out!

2. Having the kids birthdays one day apart is uh, hectic. Well, it probably wouldn’t be if I wasn’t determined to throw massive birthday parties for them. What can I say, I LOVE PARTIES. Mostly the planning and prepping. It sounds crazy but I just love it. Do I have a future it in? I sure thought so for awhile- who knows, maybe I’ll be a wedding planner some day! After all, I am only 25 years young AND according to all the personality tests I’ve taken, organizational skills and people management are my strong points.

Wow, I got really distracted. Anyways, as I was saying, I’ve probably made a mistake in deciding to throw two huge birthday parties for Caidoc and Zelie a week a part. OH WELL. I’ve had so much fun and I can’t wait to decorate and see the party take shape.

3. I also signed up for my first 10k. Yes, I know I said I was going to do it in September, but I felt ready and wanted to just jump on it while I felt motivated. So I’m running in Sammamish May 23rd. Yes, I did pick a day right after the kids birthdays. Smart? Nope. Again, OH WELL. I’ve been trying to get in as much running as possible so I don’t die of shame on the trail. Here is hoping.

4. Zelie is TEETHING. I’m pretty sure teething babies is what hell is. Can you imagine? A bunch of babies just sitting around whining at you and crying and there is nothing.you.can.do. Yep, that’s hell alright. There is not much sleep going on around here. But there sure is a lot of coffee. I’m really missing yoga class at this point in my life. I’ve noticed a huge decline in energy and a huge increase in coffee intake. Woe. I’ve confided husband to do the yoga classes, yes, another time commitment. But I’me very excited for him to feel rejuvenated. Plus, he has a run to get ready for as well!

5. Homeschooling Caidoc. I feel behind in this! There is so much to do out there and sometimes I just WANT TO DO ALL THE THINGS!! But this week has been really good. More on that later since the week isn’t quite over. I’ll post about it this weekend…hopefully. This takes up a good potion of time, planning ahead, and executing while also trying to run the house. I’m still finding a balance between focusing on Caidoc learning something, keeping Zelie preoccupied and the other million lithe tasks that need to be done: laundry, cleaning, meals, gardening, etc.

6. Oh yeah, I started a garden. Hmm…so far so good, nothing much to report but I’m very hopefully I will have tons of veggies this summer. Ambitious is my middle name 😀

Allllrighty, enough of the blabber, here’s some adorable things the kiddos are up to, and some not so terrible pictures of the crazy couple who love to over commit ;p
