You can tell this is a slow week for me, can't you? Because I'm actually blogging again. Don't worry - that will change. It's just a quiet dip.
Our weeks packed with extra-curricular activities are filling up. Kid#1 has archery, speed skating and fencing. Kid#2 has gymnastics and piano. Both are trying out for the competitive soccer teams (we'll find out in another week or two how that went - neither are optimistic. This is the wake-up call they get going from being a solidly good player on their own house league team to trying-out for positions against the top 20-30 kids in their age range across the city... Good thing to learn now!)
Otherwise, we seem to have settled into the morning school routine fairly well. Both boys are good at looking after things like getting all their schtuff together in their backpacks and managing their own agendas, lunchboxes, various school books and so on. Seems like those years of training might have paid off?
Of course, as a friend recently pointed out, we're in that sweet spot between sunblock and snowboots. I can just usher the kids out the door in whatever they are wearing - no need to scramble to find sun hats and apply the SPF60. Also, no need to scramble and find the hats, mitts, coats and boots. Definitely a seasonal sweet spot!
(Though - Kid#1, who is pre-teening, is adverse to any extra bits and pieces and tends to venture out into the natural environment wearing just whatever he was wearing inside anyhow, so maybe there are blessings in that too...)
May the raindrops today not fall on your head - unless you want them to.
