Lets see, how have we spent our first week of spring break...
Monday-went into work for a few hours. I just couldn't stay away :) I really want to get the website complete so I can go live with it our first week back to school. I'm about 90% complete. Monday afternoon we had baseball practice.
Tuesday-slept late, hung out around the house catching up on housework and soap operas (I'm ashamed to admit that I enjoy my stories). Tuesday evening we played ball at home against Charlotte. Varsity got smeared 10-1 and JV won 3-2.
Wednesday-Gabe and I cleaned the leaves and debri out of the pool and treated the water in preparation of opening it. The weather was gorgeous. Gabe looked up at me and said, "This feels like old times". He sure is cute. We traveled to Cheatham to play baseball. Varsity did the smearing, winning 12-2. JV racked up another win 3-1.
Thursday-Jared had a friend spend the night Wednesday night. The boys played paintball all morning and spent most of the afternoon showing off their paintball bruises. Boys are so funny. Gabe and I went out for what was supposed to be me jogging and him riding his bike. We got to the end of the driveway and I realized that my MP3 player battery was dead. There is nothing I like less than hearing myself huff and puff so I decided to walk instead. Gabe said, "It's okay mom, we can just talk". What a blessing, instead of drowning myself out with music, I had the opportunity to take a walk and really listen to my six year old. He pointed out birds, mooo-ed at the cows and let out a big belly laugh when they mooo-ed back, and showed me all the cool tricks he can do on his bike. That evening we traveled to Sycamore to play ball. Varsity had another big win 9-0 and JV won 6-0. Jacob is hitting like a mad man. I'm almost afraid to say it for fear that I'll jinx him but he is busting the ball.
Friday-I went into work for a few hours in the morning. The boys weeded the flower beds in preparation of spring planting. Our game was rained out so we went to Cinco de Mayo with friends for dinner. YUMMY!
Saturday-Well we made a list of all the things we should accomplish today then we decided to lay around and watch movies and have a family round of rock band instead. Scott and I took a walk. Scott's trying to get in shape for his big Alaskan hunt. He loaded down his backpack with a 50 pound rock and we walked down the road. It's times like this that I'm glad we don't live in a neighborhood. I don't have to explain to the neighbors why my crazy husband is taking a walk in hiking boots and a backpack.

If you get the chance to rent "Into the Wild" before Scott goes to Alaska you may want to. It's actually a true story about a guy that leaves everything behind and becomes a tramp or hobo and works his way from place to place with his ultimate goal to live in the wilds of Alaska. Basically a story of a man trying to find the purpose of life. I saw the documentary about 10 yrs ago and it's a book. The movie stuck pretty close to the book, obviously the book was better. You guys may find it a little slow, no explosions or serious action. There is some brief nudity. I say that cuz you have young eyes in the house, not as a selling point. It actually has nothing to do with Scott other than part of the movie takes place in Alaska. So never mind.
Logic would dictate that Jake is varsity and Jrod is JV, is that the case? Just want to know for the record so I know who won, who lost. You may have covered this but I must've missed it.
Actually, I'm amazed to read that GM has been watching PBS...other than his daily Sesame Street hour!!
Jason actually has that video series (not for the nudity, I'm sure), but it's really nifty to know how to build your own cabin and whittle your own spoons!
No offense, dear GM!! :-)
Yes, Jacob is Varsity and Jared is JV.
