Spring Break

Melissa and the girls are all on spring break now. It would be nice to have a teachers schedule, but I could never do a teachers job. Even in the few minutes I've been in the classes while Melissa is teaching I don't know how she can do it. But now she's got the week off and Uncle Greg is coming down Tuesday so she'll get a chance to relax for a bit.

The girls had the Wednesday soccer games canceled due to thunderstorms, but they played Friday evening and they both won. Paige had a great assist and she pretty much scored toward the end of the game, but I don't know if they counted it. The game was already a blow out after the Schrader boys scored 6 goals on the other team. Wills' first goal was pretty embarassing for the other team where he dribbled through all of them and the cut past the goalie and tapped it in. It was all downhill for the other team after that... we ended up winning 8 or 9 to 0.

Emma's game wasn't such a blowout. They played a team they usually beat pretty easily in scrimmages at practice, but they only won 1-0. Emma had a good game, but I think it was a little confusing to everyone because the other team didn't have enough players so Em's team loaned them a player for the entire game.

Yesterday we did yard work all day and then Melissa and I went out to dinner while the girls stayed at Bobbie's. We weer way behind on doing anything with the yard since we usually let it go during the winter. Soon it'll be back to having to cut the grass 2 times a week.

We went to the beach this morning and hung out there for a couple of hours. It was cloudy and breezy but pretty nice. It got really crowded after a while. Hopefully that will thin out once spring break is over.

Other than Greg coming down I don't think they have anything big planned for the break. They've talked about mini golf and go-karts, so that might be something we do at some point. It'll be nice weather I think but probably too cool for the beach until next weekend.

While I'm updating the blog Melissa ran up to get a couple of things at the grocery store and rent a carpet cleaning machine. I'm cleaning carpets tonight to kick off my big spring break extravaganza!
