A slice of life

Since I keep my blog as my journal, I decided to write a little bit about how hectic life is as of late. Here is a little of the weekly schedule:
4 pm Corb & Caleb get home from school
4:30 pick Chase up from Basketball practice
5:00 pick Carter up from Track practice
5:30 drop Chase off at football practice-have Caleb ready for Laura to take to football practice with Jayden (thanks a million, Laura. You are truly a lifesaver).
5:45 drop Corbin off at football practice
7:00 take Carter to basketball practice
7:30 pick Corbin up at football practice
7:30ish pick Chase up from football practice
8:30 pick Carter up from basketball practice

This is just the practice schedule. During the week throw in a track meet, a basketball game, scouts, Young Mens. Take into consideration dinner and homework and a husband who is a crop sprayer elsewhere, and you will see why my car looks like a garbage dump and smells like a locker room.

This Saturday:
8:30 Caleb's football game starts--be there 30 minutes early to 'warm' up. Thank heavens Larry is here to take him to that.
9:30 Have Chase to a community 20 miles away for his football game--oh and have him with blue socks in order to play. Something we weren't able to find anywhere the night before.
9:45 Carter's basketball game starts. Drop him off. Go look for socks. Find them. Run them back to Chase so he can play.
11:00 Corbin's football game starts. Sorry Coach, he's not making it to warm ups.
12:30 Take lunch to Carter. Thank you concession stand hot dogs.
1:00 Meet up with Larry who was able to stay and watch Chase's entire game. I watched Corbin's.
2:00 Head out together to watch Carter's 2nd basketball game.
4:00 Finally finished for the day. Go get pizza.
6:30 Say bye bye to the crop sprayer for the week. Load the washing machine.

Here are the picture highlights:

Chloe always provides great sideline entertainment. Here she is doing an interpretive dance to "We Will Rock You".

Chase is going in for the tackle.

And he gets it. No TD for you, buddy. Don't those blue socks look sharp?

Now I understand why my mom chose to get my brothers involved in swimming. They all practiced at the same swimming pool and swam at the same swim meets, in spite of the differences in their ages. And laundering uniforms wasn't a challenge -- just a load of towels. I had no idea just how hectic your schedule was. What a blessing for the boys that you are willing to make the sacrifices for them.

The blue socks are so rockin' too bad you almost lost your marbles to them!
