Nothing Days

Hold on so I can catch my breath...we have had a busy April! 

Do you ever calendar "nothing days" on the weekend so you can plan on doing...nothing? We do. That's the only way we can catch up on family stuff and house projects. 

I highly recommend choosing one day a month to do "nothing" and commit to it--don't plan play dates or RSVP to birthday parties...instead enjoy the family you are creating in all this hussle and bustle. 

Of course I don't listen to my own advice and last weekend's ND was taken over by an open house...we agreed at the last minute to our third in 25 days. Let me tell you that keeping a 3,100 sf house tidy with two littles is challenging as we have had showings daily...and sometimes with only 20 minutes notice. 😳 

So we had a family date to the Children's Museum and used our new membership to enjoy the crafts, music, play areas, paint, chalk, bubbles, chickens, books, and more! 

And now that it's May tomorrow, I'm going to pencil a new ND on the calendar so I can really catch my breath. 

How do you spend your weekends? Are they crazy busy with events, chores, errands, or...?

PS the beginning of our ND was watching Sierra finish the LJ Half. Go Daddy!! 

It's T-ball Season!

We're in our third week of the official Scripps Ranch Little League's (SRLL) season yet we've been practicing since February. This is Jackson's first time playing baseball, or t-ball, and he's having a ball. Ha, ha. 

The season started with a fun day at a local park. There were jumpies, food stands, games, and team photo professional pictures. All of the kids in SRLL are Padres because the Padres sponsor the jerseys. All of the teams have different styles of jerseys, though. We got lucky with ours. Some of the others are not as classic looking. 

Last weekend Jackson played his best game yet: he was focused in the outfield (not digging in the dirt like the other games and kids), he caught several grounders when he played the infield, and had his first opportunity to play pitcher. He loved it. 

Riley loves cheering her brother on and of course, dressing up for his team. 

We are having fun meeting other five and six year old boys (there are 10 on his team) and their families. 

So, if we can't come to something on a Saturday, it's probably because we're at his game...until June. Wish us luck! It's a long season!
