It is so great to see my kids so happy with where we live. Being in town and able to walk places is so nice. Brielle and I walk to the post office almost daily, I make it a point to not get it on my way home so that we can have some girl time and talk the 4 blocks to the post office. We can run up to the store for a few quick items if needed. Tonight, Brie and I were walking from Dollar General, it's hot as balls out as well, and we see Braeden on his skateboard. He joins us to go to the park then goes off on his own to find friends. Yesterday, I came home with no kids and I had kids from the neighborhood wanting to play.
So much hesitation was taken away in a matter of a few weeks last year when we moved here. The town is quiet, we have a nice big corner lot with a 4 way stop. Braeden is on a travel soccer team, he tried out for the basketball team over here and made it! The last school he was at, didn't provide him with much hope. He had no desire to play basketball until he made true friends here. He made the teams for his talents and not his name. I have watched too many kids play sports and they truly suck but they have the name! That drives me crazy! I am so glad to be away from where people may have known me and my past and assumed my kids were the same way. People grow up and learn and want to make life better for their young ones.
Anyway.......
This was such a hot weekend! The kids spent time at grandma and grandpa's house and swam in the pool. It is so nice to get back in the pool and just forget what is going on for the time being. I pretend I am on vacation while in the pool and just enjoy every moment with my family. We have some down time from soccer for about a month so I think I am enjoying our weekends more than anyone. The only thing we have going on right now is gymnastics for Brielle. Brae has soccer tryouts tomorrow and Thursday, but that is easy peasy compared to what our normal schedule is. Pretty soon we will be back to soccer and gymnastics and girl scouts then add basketball and futsol. This year is going way too fast already!!
