Crazy Activites

I've felt guilty in the past with our crazy commute the kids didn't really have the opportunity to participate in many activities.  Now that we are home a lot more we may have gone a little overboard getting into things.

Both kids are doing fall and spring soccer

I've been really proud of Xander this season.  Last year he got kicked in the knee, which from here on out will be refered to as his "sports injury", so he's been a little on the timid side.  He really stepped it up and did a great job the last few games of the season.

I decided to sign Paizley up for gymnastics, thinking that with her size that she might really excel at it.  Xander was thinking that he wanted to do karate, but after he atteneded one of Paizley's classes he changed his mind.  That was awesome for me because now I only have to drive them to one place.

On top of soccer and gymnastics Xander joined the school chess club.  Steven is volunteering once a week so we didn't have to pay the $20 for the admission fee.
