This past week went by so fast! Can't believe April has turned into May and that I've already seen lilacs blooming.

I worked 24 hours this past week and taught two Spanish classes. They're ALMOST over - thank the Lord.

We went to a lovely homeschool park day on Thursday and on Friday I took the girls and two friends to see a ballet. A local dance troupe put on Cinderella and it was a very professional production, but LONG- nearly two hours. Suzy and her same-age friend were done after Act 1. lol After I dropped off the friends, we hung out at another friend's house. She's been working as many hours as me (or more) but for longer, and she needed a play day. So we scrapped and chatted and ate chocolate and watched Kate & Leopold and the kids ran around and socialized. (Ours are not the stereotypical unsocialized homeschooled kids, lol.) Then I came home and finished my hours for the week.

A thunderstorm early this morning required the 9:00 games to be rescheduled - James's game will be Wednesday night at 6. That's a bit annoying since we will be at Maryann's Cinco de Mayo party on Wednesday. Suzy's game was at noon today and it was not raining and was in the upper 60's and overcast. She played hard and, at one point, crashed heads with a big kid on the opposing team. She now has a nicely swollen eyebrow.

Right now we have two friends over - one for Em and one for J. I have laundry hanging on the line drying quickly in the brisk breeze. David is playing a library-borrowed game on his XBox 360. (yeah, I caved.)

I think David is going to play soccer again in the fall, thanks to Maryann who promised David that Alex would play if David played. AWESOME! I am considering putting Emily in the volleyball team the same sports organization sponsors. She is NOT thrilled about that. Of course, Suzy and James will play AYSO again next year. Both are moving up a division; he will be U12 and she will be U10 (and will have to learn the offsides rule!).

I am going to go get some things done - maybe sort through some stuff to get rid of. I have a TON of books that need a new home. Anyone want to look through them? At this point, I really just want them to go to a good home. I keep thinking I should call the two used bookstores in the area that take books on consignment, but I haven't managed to accomplish that.
