Yes, I'm Alive

So, like is there a prize for being the lousiest at updating? If so, I think I have everyone beat. It's not that I haven't had anything to talk about; it's more that I'm incredibly lazy. Anyway, let's see, what's new and exciting. OK, well then how about new? Katherine has started gymnastics and seems to really love it. We've also enrolled her in art classes. She seems to be a bit insecure, not willing to try new things because she wants to be the best, so we've been taking the spaghetti approach with her (throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see what sticks). She learned to ride without training wheels this weekend (mainly because they got twisted and I was too lazy to fix them, so I worked with her to ride without them - aren't I a good mom?). Her class play will be in a couple of weeks - apparently, she's doing pretty well with memorizing her lines (a major concern with the kindergarten set, if you can imagine).

Sarah is taking acting classes. She's going to start gymnastics this summer which could be very interesting, mainly because she'll be in a class with her younger sister who is 1) more flexible 2) has already had a session and 3)more athletic. It'll be interesting to see how Sarah reacts to not being the best at something. She's usually pretty cool about - a more laid-back kid you've never seen - but I wonder how she'll feel about her little sister being the one who's better. Who knows, maybe she'll surprise me? Feeling a bit guilty about not getting her into the art classes. We'll have to sign her up next year.

Oh, soccer season started again. Have I mentioned how much I loath soccer season? At least they practice on the same night this time. Unfortunately, Sarah's games are on Saturday and Katherine's are on Sunday. Yeah, weekends are fun. The good thing is that we get to take pictures again. I kinda like taking photos as the game. And am I a real schmuck if I say that it kind of annoys me that everyone assumes that all of our soccer pictures are from my husband. Yes, he's a great photographer, but I'm not that bad myself. *sigh* The continual struggle to find something that I'm good at.
