The One With The Quiet Sunday

Ahhhh, this is the first quiet Sunday we have had in some time. We just did Bri's birthday party last night...a week after Easter, two weeks after a family Easter, and three weeks after another family party.


It is nice to take it a little slow...as a type this....even though we will have a Celtics game to watch, a Dr. appoint, a birthday party, and lacrosse later.

The One With the Wacky Saturday

There was a lot going on today (Saturday April 27).


First, Bri and Kiff had dance class, which meant an early rise for everyone.

Then, Emmie and I went out to our weekly breakfast. However, because it was Bri's birthday party day, we also had to scramble to run errands and make sure the house was set for the pah-ty.

After, we had to get Kiff to opening day of baseball. He played left field and third. His team won 15 - 3 and he scored a run on a walk.

After that, we had Bri's party.

That was quite a day!

The One With the Labyrinth on Good Friday

Yesterday, Mom#2, Dad#2, and I went on something a little different for Good Friday. We attended a labyrinth that focused on remembering Jesus and his death. It was fascinating, insightful, and introspective.

The One With Seven on Seven

Today, began another flag football season. This one had a little bit of intrigue to it. This was the first time that we played 7 on 7.

It was quite interesting. There were some new rules to this game, which made it a challenge. And there was definitely a faster pace. But, it was super fun to watch.

Although Kiff's team, the Blizzard, lost 38-6, it was actually a lot closer than that. The teams had a great first half, where they were only down 14-6. Kiff had two good runs, several solid pass defenses, including one on a kid that was five times his size (okay, that was an exaggeration...three times his size).  He also had a sack of the QB.

Looking forward to more of these.

The One With April

Hard to believe it, but April is here.

Wow!

The One With the Flag Football Superbowl

It was an epic clash. Cyclones vs. Thunder. For all the marbles.

And it did not disappoint.

Today, Kiff played in his second superbowl for flag football and it was a ton of fun. Although the game started off well, it did result in a tough loss. However, despite the loss, it was a memorable day...and friends won.

In our five seasons of flag football, we've been Super Bowling twice which is pretty neat. Who knows what will happen next time we hit the gridiron.

The One With The School Musical

It is an annual tradition that always seems to sneak up on me. The week of our annual school musical.

For 23 years I have been part of the musical at our school. In fact, it has become a favorite part of my time as a teacher. Like my parents before me, who spent years dedicated to theater, I have been a part of productions for many years.

It is hard to believe we have actually presented 23 plays at our school. The tradition continued this week as our school presented the student version of Crazy For You. Although I was unfamiliar with this show, it did not disappoint.

As usual, our students were fabulous and did a great job as cast and crew. The music was lively and fun, reflecting the life and times of the Gershwins.

What a great play! Today with completed the second and third performance. Tomorrow will be closing night!

It will definitely be a memorable event!
