It's raining...

I'm glad it's raining. Unfortunately that means no swimming or going to the park etc... So, we're finding other things to do, even if it means watching that Scooby Doo movie for the third time.

We have been checking out all the different library branches lately. Last week we went to a drum circle for the first time and it was so much fun... for me too. The name of the company is Giving Tree Music and it's based in Clearwater (they're on facebook). All the kids had their own drums and enjoyed playing together and dancing. Frankie did some impromptu solo parts and Tre was asked to come up and use his arms to direct us in crescendo and decrescendo. The kids all loved it and we will definitely go to another in the future.

Yesterday we went to Main library and signed Tre up for summer reading. We read stories everynight before bed but maybe I can convince him that for the library program HE has to read to ME. He's a great reader but at bedtime he always wants me to do all the reading. We checked out a book called Sun Bread the other day which was a cute story and had a recipe on the back. We made it last night and it turned out really good. The kids had sunbread for breakfast this morning.

Tre starts karate next week and is very excited. His granny made his ghee for his Uncle Ben when he was boy and it fits Tre perfectly. He'll do karate this summer (thank goodness for indoor sports) and then if he likes it we'll continue in the fall.

Yea for warm weather!

Tre had a soccer game Thursday night and scored the only goal from his team. He was so excited. I watched him steal the ball and dribble it in. He turned around to see me and jumped pumping his fist in the air. The coach gave him a big high five and he was just ecstatic. That definitely made up for the fact that I was freezing my butt off in the wind and 50 degrees.

The weekend was beautiful...70 degrees and sunny. I wish it was like this all the time. MIL came over and watched the kids outside Saturday morning and I was actually able to clean my house. She took Tre back to Kissimmee and he went to the Rodeo with his Uncle Ben. Apparently his favorite part was watching the monkeys ride on the dog's backs. Don't ask me... I've never been to a rodeo. Both my girls napped while I prepped food and we had friends over and cooked out that evening.

Sunday, Tre came home and we had a relaxing day of watching the olympics and playing out in the yard. Tre and I tilled a small plot for our garden we plan to start in March and I cut back a bunch of bushes and all the dead stuff from the freeze. It's supposed to get rainy and cold again by the end of the week. I can't wait till Spring.
