Amber and Dan's Blog: Catching up on May

Just a quick catchup.
Mon May 1--Grocery pickup, Megan gets braces off, swim team, etc.
Tue May 2--library story time, the girls get to come home for lunch since I forgot to drop their lunchboxes at school in time, piano lessons, swim team pics (we found a dead squirrel in the pool--gross!)

Wed May 3--playgroup at my house bc of rain.

Thu May 4--getting caught up at home.

Fri May 5--playschool at my house. We talked about pond life, mostly frogs and then played in a "pond" in the yard.

Sat May 6--Time trials day! Megan had a fever and had to miss. So Dan stayed home with her and Emily and Jack. Brooke and Candy did great. Brooke timed in all 4 strokes which was fun. She's really close to doing breast and fly without dq'ing. Candy looks so much better than last year! So cute and fun. We were done just before 2 and laid low the rest of the day.

During the team cheer-

Sun May 7--My turn to teach, fast Sunday. Megan was still sick so Dan and I had to trade off some. We met with our church class on personal finances for a potluck dinner at my sister in law's house.

Mon May 8-I took the kids grocery shopping, Jack and I weeded the garden and admired our growing tomatoes and jalapenos (and sunflowers!).

Tue May 9--Happy birthday! Jack had his 6 month checkup for his eyes. His prescription improved--yay, so new glasses are ordered. We had lunch at chick fil a because he was so good at the doctor. Another swim team coach got home from college so I get to leave at 7 pm and take my big girls home with me instead of 8 which is really nice!

Wed May 10--We tried to have playgroup at a splash pad that was closed so ended up back home at our smaller neighborhood pool that is open during the day. The water was cold but it was fun.

Thu May 11-I ran errands with the kids and we read lots of books that day.

Fri May 12--I ran errands again while Jack was a playschool. Swim Team was fun (on Fridays we do a quick workout and then let the kids play). Our kids had babysit night and Dan and I got some takeout from Pei Wei and saw a movie at the theater to celebrate our anniversary (it's on Sunday, so we celebrated early). Yummy and fun, but 9 pm was too late for me to see a movie! I totally missed the end!

Sat May 13--Our first dual meet at our pool. All 3 girls swam, all 3 dropped time, all 3 did great! No DQs for them. That was over just before 2. We came home for some quiet time and then went to visit Shad's new house for Chloe's birthday (9 years old yesterday). We had hot dogs and burgers and enjoyed the new pool and basketball court and the pool table some too. I am trying to stay awake folding laundry, ordering groceries online and emailing Tyler on his mission!
