Our week!

Well, every week is busy and has some sort of excitement, so this week was no different.

Each weekday is pretty similar, school for kids and work for Dave and I, but our evenings tend to be quite busy. After a few weeks off from football practice. Monday, Kyle had his first day of wrestling and as usual Allicia had ballet. Tuesday, Allicia had jazz and I had an evening appointment. Wednesday was busy...Kyle had wrestling and both kids had bible school, followed by much needed grocery shopping. Our excitement for the week occurred
Wednesday, when Kyle had his clothes and shoes stolen while he was at wrestling practice. Thankfully, they caught the kid...who was wearing Kyle's clothes! He was able to get everything back, but his belt. NICE, huh?!? Thursday (today), the kids went with their Dad for supper, while I went to water aerobics. Then Dave took Kyle to sign up for ski club just before picking me up at the fitness center. We arrived at home, just in time to do homework and Dave went to poker night at the neighbors. Last but not least, tomorrow is an early release day for both of the kids. Dave's Dad is planning on sitting with the kids until Grandpa Pete arrives to spend the evening so Dave and I can go to a work outing. Thank goodness for our yahoo calendar!

After looking at our busy schedule, I often wonder how we get it all done...in addition to making meals, reading, homework, french horn practice, etc. But we do...and after seeing the kid's report cards today....we must do it well. Kyle's current GPA is 4.0, earning an A+ in one class, A- in another, and A's in all of the others. Allicia's report card was just as good...she obviously doesn't get letter grades, but it was full of great marks. I am SO proud!

I do have to say, a big thanks must go out to my wonderful husband, who does a great job of being a taxi driver to most events (with little complaining)....along with another big thanks to his parents, who help out in so MANY ways as well! I couldn't do it all without them!

In conclusion....I am so thankful it is almost the weekend, as is the rest of the family.....but we have a lot planned for our weekend as well. All I keep thinking is...what will we do when we have a little one to add to our madness?!?!? It will be an adjustment, that's for sure.

Sounds like the Pike household! What is that country song though?..."you're gonna miss this." We need to enjoy it while we can!
