School wrap up

Garrett has his school track meet (between 5 elementary schools) on May 19. He competed in the 100m, 800m and shuttle relay. Poor Garrett had a tough job as he ran the 100m prelims, about 30 minutes later had to run the 800m and then immediately go to the starting line for the 100m finals. He ended up placing 2nd in both events (although, given more time between the 800 and the 100, we're sure he would've won first). His shuttle relay team didn't fare as well as they placed 4th out of 8 teams. He was bummed about the 100m, but he knows he did a great job!

Both kids had games last weekend and Garrett finished up his season on Sunday with a tournament (they went 2-2 for the weekend). Maryna still has 3 more games until her season is done.

Yesterday was awards day at school. Of course, I wished I could've cloned myself as Maryna's awards program started at 8:30 and Garrett's at 9:15 at 2 different schools. So, I stayed until 9:30 at Maryna's and then headed to Garrett's. Both kids won the Presidential Gold academic award (based on ISTEP tests and grades - the highest honor). I was very proud.

Now the kids are on summer break. They were at home with their dad today and as of an hour ago, they were already complaining of being bored. I suggested that Brad take them to the library to check out a book and Garrett's response was, "Well, that doesn't sound like any fun." I had to laugh. We will need to figure out some activities to keep them occupied this summer.
