Today the weather was so nice. My Sis, in Phoenix, would think it was still chilly, BUT not here in Wisconsin! Highs in the upper 40's means . . . . no coats! I love being able to leave my coat in the closet. Us track coaches are hoping that the 10" of snow we had covering the track on Monday is going to make a rapid exit. The kids are itching to get outside to run and do field events. So for now, we are getting them conditioned indoors.
I have been able to work out with them - at least in my part of the rotation. We divide them by grade and each grade does training with a coach and then they rotate to the next coach. I have been working on core and arm exercises. Some great workouts - and I get to do them 3 times. I am really liking it - so we'll see how it goes. After watching some of them do agilities (which are walking a certain way the length of the gym) I am amazed none of them fall down walking in the halls each day at school. Although, it has been cool to see improvement in them in just 3 days. Some kids are very coordinated and athletic, some are far from it. There is a place for everyone, though.
Today was a day off for me. I got to sleep in, the weather was warm & beautifully sunny, and Fred & I bought a brand new bedroom set (the first one ever in our 25 years together!) We've had bedroom furniture, but it has always been owned by someone else first (we got new mattresses, of course). I think it was a triple bonus day! Oh yeah, and a really nice nap this afternoon. Sweet!!!!
To catch you up on a few things that happened recently: Scott's Eagle Court of Honor went very well, short, sweet and now done. It was nice to see all those that either came, sent a card or called to congratulate him. I am just so impressed he wanted it and completed it in such a timely fashion. Being in the two troops really helped him, but was a bit of a dilemma in planning the program. We kept it short so we didn't have to find too many people from each troop to participate. Each Scoutmaster had a part, the local troop did the flag ceremony, church troop did the prayers. Other than that no one else was needed. But there was the issue of only one Mentor pin for Scott to hand out. Just by chance we saw on the BSA Scout Shop website that they do sell individual Mentor pins. Perfect! He sent the one in the Eagle award set to his brother Tim because he is the reason he wanted to be an Eagle Scout in the first place. Then we bought 2 more, one for each Scoutmaster. Worked out very well.
Megan has a prom dress and we already have it back from being altered. She's almost set for Prom next weekend with her good friend, Garrett. It is his Prom next weekend. I just have to fix some spots where the beads are loose or missing - nothing major. :) He officially asked her to Prom last Sunday at church by filling our car with balloons. She was in a very good mood the rest of the day.
Much to almost everyone's amazement, Scott is now taking his Driver's Ed class. No one can believe he is old enough for this - time has passed so very quickly. He looks and acts old enough, it just seems like yesterday his brother Tim was throwing him up on his shoulders for rides around the yard. Where does the time go?
Hang on the to good things and may each day be a triple bonus day!
Love Ya,
Bren
