Busy as a beaver

Today was one of those days where you fail to have a moment to stop and smell the roses. This morning, everyone and their mother had registration and meetings.
We of course were running late, or so I thought, but made our first stop at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. It was were we received our P- patch. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a community garden where you are responsible for a 10X10 plot of dirt. Veggies, flowers, and whatever your hearts desire can grow. Any stuff you grow in excess is then donated to the local food banks so that others can have fresh produce. I love the Lutherans. Many of the cities around her have these p patches but fail to offer community support.
From there we raced across town to register McKenzie and Elijah for football. Elijah has made the Rookies weighing in at 61 pounds. I am so proud of him. Bit is a sophomore weighing in at 134 and solid. Go boys. That registration process took a whole whopping 3 minutes. On to the next stop.
Cascade Strider's is the local running club that the boys are signed up with for track and field. Practices are three times a week for 2 hours. Today they ran the whole time and did a circuit training. I got tired just watching them. But in the end, once again I was a proud mom. They will have the opportunity to compete at the Jr. Olympics that will held in Seattle this year. Elijah is so excited because he said again today, I will make it to the Olympics.
1 hour before the next stop. My head was throbbing my heart was filled with joy. Times up here we go.
Gymnastics East, Preston Washington. Home of many champions and Olympic gymnasts. Boys Nations fitness challenge. Elijah scored a 30. Not bad for his first, or the fact that his body hasn't recovered from track. Many of the instructors there asked if he was going to try out for the trampoline and tumble team this May. Elijah said yes. We will see how all this will pan out.
3 hours there and home we go.
My drive is lite with solar lights creating a beautiful glow. With the setting on our 70 degree day, I heard my bed calling. Not yet, clean kitchen, cook diner, paperwork, laundry kids in the shower, get them to bed and then my bed.

I rather enjoyed the highs and lows of today. I love the fact that I am able with the communities help, provide my children with opportunities. I guess I had better hit the gym more than 2 days a week to keep up. My goal is to be able to run with them. Baby steps.

Tomorrow, after church, Elijah has a class... Cooking with the Y, and a concert in Tacoma with the Sally Anne. They both are playing. McKenzie the tuba and Elijah the trumpet. All free of course. I am truly blessed.

Have a wonderful evening.
