Spring is Here

Spring is here and you know what that means... 

our lives just got busy.

This time every year it happens. Just with the normal baseball/softball season and games plus practices and coaching take enough time, but you add into that the fact the Chloe plays spring soccer and her basketball season also goes into spring and we are even busier. You would think that with Tanner not playing baseball this year we wouldn't be quiet as busy, but we actually seem to be even busier than normal. Plus Bryce is playing t-ball, so we have to add that into the schedule. Most weeks there is at least one practice or game every night but Sunday and a lot of days two.

Here is an example of our weekly schedule...

Of course this busy schedule means we have to make adjustments in other areas of our lives. We spend a little more on eating out, since at least two nights a week we eat on the go, and a little less on groceries. This year we even went as far as hiring a once a week house keeper to come in and help us just keep on top of things since we are literally never home. To make that adjustment we cut back our weekly gas money and petty cash, but let me tell you it has made a huge difference. Just the few hours she is here a week helps us stay on top of things.

Some people might think we are crazy, but we love our lives and wouldn't have it any other way. And although we aren't home much we are getting in a lot of quality family time.

Bring it on Spring!
