Seriously….and I do mean seriously…I have no time! This is
the time of year that I feel like we are driving or sitting at all times. All
our boys are in Basketball. Cassie decided this year that she was opting out of
it as she really just likes Volleyball. Jason and Josh are both on the JV team.
I love that they are on the same team and get to play Basketball together.
Jackson being a Senior is on the Varsity team.
Have a small school there is only one Gym for the High
school. Well that means that Varsity gets it before school from 6-8am, the
Girls get it after school from 4-6 and then the JV boys get it from 6-8. No
problem right? Well actually its chaos for us haha. That means Jackson drives
himself to school. Then an hour later we are driving the rest of the kids to
school. Then he drives them all home but an hour later I am driving the younger
boys back to the school for 6pm practice. No big deal right? Well it takes us
50 minutes just to get to the school. Haha! I tell you….they better love us.
We are spending more time in the car than anything now a
days. The good part about that though is we get a lot of one on one time to
talk to the kids about their days or what’s been going on. Basketball season
has just started and I am already thinking when the end of it is haha!
I love watching the kids play. I love that they are active
and want to play. Most of all I love that all the kids play on the same day.
Again because it’s a small school the girls and boys play on the same night no
matter if its JV or Varsity. It leads for long nights but they are so worth it.
These are the days of never ending laundry even though you
feel like you don’t see the kids that much. These are the days of eating at
430pm just so you can eat as a family which is very important to us. These are
the days of a lot of KLOVE music in the car (I will know all the songs by the
end of the season). These are the days……..
These are the days we will look back on and think how we
ever did it with four kids. How did we manage their schedules with school,
sports and family time? I am thankful and blessed for these days!
So as I sit here taking a break from laundry. Waiting on one
child to come home and the other three have fallen fast asleep well before
their bedtime of 930, I sit here in silence thinking about how fast life goes
by. I can’t believe I think this is so chaotic and hectic and in just 4 short
years all of the kids will be out of the house. I have to treasure these
moments. Why? Because…these are the days!
