Racquetball

Ahh, we're at the end of another busy day! We had soccer all morning, and didn't get out to exercise until around 4:30 Corey left for a ride, and I wanted to go for a ride, but I also wanted to swim, cause I think it is really helping my left shoulder! But swimming closed at 6... so Corey left but I went swimming, and I figured if I still wanted to go on a ride after that, that I would still have time before it got dark. Well, then I decided not to go on a ride, and instead I took ODPK to play racquetball! They loved it.

That was also a win-win cause I got the kids out of Corey's hair for a little bit so he could work. I taught Owen the basics of the game and he likes it! So he and I tried to play a game. 

With the interruptions every few minutes by the littles - coming over telling us they wanted to show us something they did with the ball, or telling us so and so hit me in the head, etc etc.

But ya can hardly go wrong with kids with balls in a big room!

It's just the racquet part that is dangerous! So that was fun. The boys got all their sports in today - I took all three of them to their soccer games earlier this morning while Corey had the girls get to work with house chores. How did I do that with one car when kids had games at the same time at two different fields, you might wonder? Well, I dropped off D and O at 10, D's game was at 10:15. Then I drove Peter to Flat iron for his game. I stayed with Peter. The Real Salt Lake mascot, some lion, came and interrupted the end of the game... He just walked on and started playing for the other team, who was already beating us. Kinda funny, kinda weird. Kids were ok with it since they were already losing.

Then after Peter's game, we went straight back to Lone Peak Park to catch the last half plus of Owen's game. And then I was feeling like a softy afterwards and I went and got them ice cream (and myself sushi) at Macey's afterwards. I shared most of the sushi, and they each gave me a tax of ice cream. 

When we got home, I cooked up some of the dough I made last night. I almost figured out the oven. This one was a little over toasted, but it was presentable. I'm back in business.

Yaaayyy. I was pleased to see the girls had done a ton of stuff on the list I left. They cleaned the fridge out and the pantry, filled up the garbage can with pine needles (a little too full unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to take any more to it until it's emptied on Wednesday...) Oh, before that, first thing this morning actually, Katharine came downstairs and asked to go to the store. At the Easter Egg Hunt yesterday, some of the eggs were filled with $2 bills! Katharine got one of those and this morning she asked if she could go to the store to buy a treat with her money. I needed to go get treats for Owen's soccer game, so that worked. We hurried down to Smiths, she got these macaroon looking sucker cookie pops and was very pleased with her purchase.

Good job Kat. You are a smart shopper. It is pink, it's pretty, and it had a $2 in the price ($2.49) so you win.
