coming up

Josh is off school today so he and I will be hanging out and resting up for the coming busy weekend. Then Dima's off school tomorrow so he and I will be hanging out together while Josh does school and bell practice for the little number they're putting together for a performance at the church where the school is on Sunday. Since Dima went to an all you can eat buffet with my parents and had clams, clams, clams he's been bugging me to go to another one so this will be our chance to find one and go - Josh isn't a fan of clams and stuff like that anyway so it'll be okay if he can't go to that. He'll do his lunch at school after his practice.

Saturday will be Josh's learn to play hockey lesson in the am then home for nap and our dance group's fest is that night and I'm doing the tickets for it so we'll have to be there nice and early so I can handle the at the door ticket sales. There goes Saturday evening and night...

Sunday the church service at Josh's school then the annual goat races are being held at the Sly Fox in Phoenixville and we'll be watching some goats and then dancing for that event too.

Monday Josh's class has their field trip to Marsh Creek park during his class time. We did this with Dima when he had the same teacher and it's fun and we actually learned stuff about the park. They "fished" with little nets the kids made and hiked around the trails in the park.

Tuesday Dima has his field trip to the zoo then on Tuesdays in the evenings he had been having CCD. This one will be his last one including a church service and all. Wednesday next week we'll finally be back into our "normal" routine. Oh, except for another field trip Dima has the following week.

It's hard to believe that Josh is done with school on the 20th of May. I can see this year that he's soooo ready for kindergarten as opposed to last year where he was reluctant to sit to do writing practice and all that - now he sits while Dima does his homework and he asks to write and draw and paint (we sat and painted beetles-the car kind- and trains and buses yesterday after Dima left for school). He first really got interested in drawing and letter practice when he found that a dot - to - dot book that we have has a tractor and a train and stuff that he's into.

Time flies!! Especially when you're busy.
