Month Over?!?! Ahhh!

I could not believe March had come, and now,it's GONE...
The past month has been a whirlwind of activity and no slow-down is in sight for April.
From now until Mid-May (and the past couple of weeks) we have 4 scheduled soccer games. Hayley, Darby, Zack & Sadie all play on different teams, on different fields, and at different times. (There are a couple of games at the same times, but for the most part, they are spread out over the course of the day on Saturday.) Subsequently, our Saturdays are booked.
In addition to the Soccer games, we have a few weekends like the last one, where we also have dance competitions, dance pictures, scouting events, choir concerts, etc.

For example; last Saturday, I got up before 7 a.m. to get myself ready, before waking up the girls to get ready for dance competition. Chloe and I curled and teased Darby and Sadie's hair until almost 9. When I took Chloe over to the high school to work at the track meet. I took Darby & Sadie to their dance competition a little after 9. In the mean time Ryan was taking Hayley to her soccer game, buying oranges and cutting them up for her half-time treat, watching her game, buying after-game treats for and taking Zack to play his soccer game. A little after 1p.m. Sadie was done with her part of the dance competition, so on my way to take her home, I picked up Chloe from the high school, took Darby to change into her next costume and She and I went back to the dance competition. Then while Darby and I were gone, Ryan had the kids that were home work on chores, went to help one of his home teaching families with some things and took Hayley to a birthday party... As soon as Darby's dance was over, she and I raced home to change her clothes for her soccer game at 5. Following her game, we raced home again to change her clothes to go baby-sitting. Then Ryan and I took Sadie to buy an Easter dress, because she was the only girl that didn't have one for Sunday.

So, I'm a blog slacker, but, it's really only because when something has to give, it usually is a little time to myself.
