School, Homework, Church & Sports - The Schedule Is Filling Up Fast!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Van West Realty

It's that time of year again! The boys are back in school, they'll be brining home assignments and homework. The church will start up the youth program again very soon, so we'll be able to start going with the whole family every Sunday again. The YMCA flag football sign-ups are coming up, and youth basketball sign-ups as well. It amazes me how loose and free the summertime is and how incredibly structured and tightly-scheduled our lives are during the school year. Our boys used to complain they were "bored" during the long summer. Now, they don't have time to think twice about being bored!

Its great but tiring. We have sports or dance and cheer 6 days a week. Plus homework plus clients plus plus plus. It crazy but its fun!

It's good for the family to have some structure - but be sure to leave some "hang out" time every week - kids need to let their hair down regularly or they become stressedn (parents too)!

Ugh! Very soon we'll be filling up the schedule with the YMCA sports for the boys. I enjoy it, but it gets to be too much at times. I need one of those zero gravity loungers to stretch out in at the football field!

Jacob is eager to start basketball this season. He really has some skills for his age, and the enthusiam and drive to win! He asked me tonight what I think his trophy is going to look like for baseketball. How cute is that?
