School Vs. Fun

This was another fun-filled week with more fun than school for some of us.  Everyone was off on Monday for Memorial Day.  We spent the day on the baseball field for the end of Merrick's Memorial Day tournament.  The tournament was a mixed bag.  We had one inning where the coach left in a pitcher that he should have pulled and we let in 10 runs in one inning and subsequently lost 10-5.  Because of that we didn't get to play in the championship game and took third in the tournament.

The weather was really good mid week and at least some contingency went swimming Monday-Wednesday.  It's early days but I can tell we are going to get our moneys worth out of the pool this year.

Friday C.C. didn't have school again for a teacher grading day.  She, Elsie and I ran some errands in the morning, then we got together with Brown cousins for a fun day.  We went to lunch at Panda Express, went to Wunderland arcade, and got slurpees.  Merrick spent Friday afternoon and evening playing for Kai's team again (his second game of the week for them).  He's really enjoying the fun time (less stress) baseball he gets to play on Kai's team.  He will play for them again tomorrow and probably would play Wednesday too if we didn't have family pictures.  At this point he is playing more for Kai's team than for his own.

This weekend was super rainy.  We didn't do a whole lot but did go to Elsie's friend's going away party (they are moving to South Carolina soon).  We also got to go to church as a family for the first time in a while thanks to our baseball free weekend.  The girls and I all got dresses and ended up matching in navy so that called for a Sunday selfie.

Two more weeks of school for me and Elsie and two and a half to the big kids.  The countdown is on!
