Catching Up

It seems like a lot has gone on since I last posted, but I can't quite remember what! :-) Saturday was spent at Cobe's baseball game in the morning. I ran some errands after the game, went for a walk, then we headed to the Boeves for dinner. I'm loving these early season cook-outs- LOVE burgers and dogs on the grill. Sunday we spent the whole afternoon at our new pool soaking up some rays, swimming, and letting the kids play on the playground and b-ball courts. I didn't feel so great when we got home- combination of too much sun and a stomach virus I think. I came home and showered then got in bed. The rest of my family went to the Overzets for dinner/cake for Justin's birthday. We had a showing today, so I had to clean in spurts as well as I felt like it. So today started off bright and early b/c Cobe has b-ball camp all week from 8:00-9:30 at the high school. Ryan took him there while I finished up for the showing, then met me at Carpet Bonanza to finalize all our house stuff. Our decorator met us there and we picked out Sadie's bathroom stuff and all of our paint colors. Can't wait to see the finished product!!!! I'm thrilled about the paint colors. We have been looking at the same ole walls in this house for so many years, that any new color seems exciting!!!!!!! And the showing this morning was to a couple who have already been through 3 other times, so we are hopeful. We have ANOTHER showing tomorrow night, so at least the house is still semi-clean and picked up.

Today was also spent at the pool. Overzets, Grotenhuis', and Boeves joined us there as well as Landon. There were 13 kids together, so they all had a blast. The boys and girls had wars on the playground, but all got along great in the pool. I have a feeling we'll be spending lots of time there this summer.

Cobe found out today who his 3rd grade teacher is (Mrs. Thompson), and he has a lot of his friends in his class. She was my first pick for his teacher, so I was happy he got her. I taught her son when he was in 7th grade, so I know her. She is a really strong teacher.

I leave tomorrow on a girls' get-a-way to Fountain Point near Traverse City. We are going to do a winery tour, kayaking/canoeing, dinners out, etc. so I am looking forward to the few days away.... sort of. I feel like it is a lot of work to just get away so I am hoping once I leave, I'll be glad I went. Right now, I am feeling like it would be a lot easier to stay home with so much going on here. Cobe is in camp every morning, he has 2 ball games, showings, possible offer, Grandpa's having another surgery right now as I type this, Ryan's working the whole time I'm gone, etc. etc. etc. I think if it were later in the summer, it'd be easier to get away.

Off to put my 3 little cherubs to bed- 8:00am comes early!!!!!
