Get excited because (complaining about) money Monday is on the way back to the blogggggg

Kindergarten is doing an alphabet-themed farewell to school and counting down the last 26 days with alphabet-themed days. K was kindness day, and they all walked out of school in adorable crowns. I LOVE KINDERGARTEN SO MUCH.

In fact! As you read this, I am getting ready to chaperone my 5th and final kindergarten zoo field trip! Expect pictures with sappy captions next week. Hopefully I can chaperone a grandkid's class or something.

Coop made it to the ALL CITY 8TH GRADE TRACK MEET, which is a thing I did not know existed. He qualified in shot put (lol) and the 4X100 relay.

His relay team took 3rd, and they were, like, SO FAST and fun to watch

(Shot put might not be Coop's sport)
Talking strategy
Ready for the hand-off
I hope he decides to run track in high school-- it was very fun to watch. And between events, I sat on the bleachers and read an entire book


Speaking of Cooper's sport, he and Ben are taking their second trip to FL this May right now.


Which reminds me! We are not spending ANY MONEY EVER AGAIN. So, you can expect more complaining about that soon! (June is the month I don't get paid and plus also, Harry's bday, dance nationals, another out-of-state dive trip-- maybe TWO MORE AS WELL depending on how qualifiers go-- and Jack's HS graduation, plus dance recital weekend. YOU GUYS).


Luckily for me, walking around the neighborhood in my weighted vest is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

And! The pool opens tomorrow, so as long as I can keep the kids from charging one million dollars on our food account and keep myself from ordering toooooo many Titos and lemonades, we should be golden.

  1. Wow- go Cooper!!! I would be so thrilled to see one of my kids compete in a track meet. HAHAHAHAHHA. Okay, that was funny- neither of my kids is athletic in the slightest and they both think running is stupid. Anyway, I'll just imagine how cool it must have been for you.
    Yes, kindergarten is so fun. I remember Angie didn't like first grade (comparatively) and I don't blame her one bit.
    You have quite a month coming up! I'm sure you won't spend any money at all, lol. Looking forward to money Monday posts again.

  3. Oh, June is going to be SPENDY, right? I will look forward to your Money Monday posts.

    Wow on the track meet! Doesn’t Coop dive? How would he find time for both?

    I have fond memories of my daughter in Kindergarten, lo those many years ago…I only got to go through that once. Good thinking having a passel of kids so you can keep enjoying!
