The Girl and our Week



Here she is, after a two-hour training, stretching and swimming. They had to take ID pictures for some sports ID she's getting so she can take part in competitions, so one of the mums came and took shots of them at the pool, after they dried their hair. I think she's the sweetest little angel girl that God gave us to treasure and help grow big, a flower just beginning to bud.

I also wanted to give you all an outline of what it means to be "soccer mum". Monday Bella'g got swimming from 5 to 7 pm, Kevin has football (soccer for some) from 4 to 5pm, and Patrick's free. Tuesday, on the other hand is Patrick's busiest day. He's got folk dancing at school, and so does Bella, they come home at 3:30, music school is at 4 for Patrick, 4:45 for Bella and 5 for Kevin. At the same time Patrick has gymnastics from 5 to 6 pm.This is when logistics become difficult, and it is lucky Kimo's here to take part. Wednesday it's only swimming for Bella from 6 to 8 pm, and we try and go to our regular English club in the evening. Thursday is Bella's day off, Patrick has gymnastics and Kevin has football. Friday all children go to the music school again. It was actually quite lucky that all three of them happened to be scheduled on the same days for music, and the fact that we live practically next door to the music school also helps a lot. So this is what we do during the week. No wonder weeks just seem to fly by us, but as they say, it keeps us out of mischief. :)
