So I am not doing so well with the blogging thing! It looks like I am good for once a month! My life is not that interesting nor does anything happen around here.
I played my first Tennis match. I started tennis lesson in August and joined a team last month, as an alternate. I have never played tennis prior to the lessons. So you can imagine how being an alternate is a bonus. I don't have to be counted on each week and I can ease into the team thing slowly. I figure I should be good to play in about a year or two. It's pretty funny to watch me play. My first match was really fun. I was happy to see that I did not lose all my serves. I was about at 50%. We won the match 6-2, 6-1. So it was a positive thing. I do enjoy it and try to play as much as I can.
This is sounding so boring. We just got home from spring break and it was a lot of fun. The whole family drove up to Washington DC and spent the day there, walking and walking, which was a good thing, it made us all ready for bed! Then we drove to Philadelphia and saw our friends there. It was great to see them. I do miss the old neighborhood and all our friends. We continued on our journey to NYC. We had a great time there. The walking was not a welcomed activity. But what do you do. We went for a helicopter ride, which was funny because Andrea is so afraid of heights. But she was brave and was a trooper and tried it and LOVED it probably the most! It lasted all of 7 minutes, but it was fun.
I think my favorite part was hanging out with friends at Zwahlens eating my favorite avalanache and talking to my favorite people! I think I put on 5 pounds easily. We had ice cream every day, sometimes more than onces a day!
We have only six weeks of school left! Yeah! I hate homework and all that stuff. My kids are trunky for summer,. every morning I hear the same thing-"I hate school" "I'm not going to school" so it is really fun to wake the beautiful sleeping children on week days! Oh the joys of school! The state school tests are coming up and that is crazy in and of its self. The things a parent has to do to make sure that their child is prepared for a test!
Well I have a child melting down as we speak, because she doesn't want to do her homework, I better get going so she can get it done!
