A Walk in the park

It seems like soccer season and all of the running around that went with it just ended, but Monday it began again.  I love that my kids love their sports.  I just feel like less of a mom and more of a taxi driver.  From school to soccer to voice lessons to basketball.  Unfortunately basketball and soccer over lap for the next 3 weeks.  So getting Ella to goalie from 5-6 and having her at basketball practice from 6-7 on the same night but two different places are pretty much impossible.  Oh yeah, and then there is homework and when to make dinner.  It seems like a lot now but I know once we get back into the swing of things it will all be ok.  Ella had practice tonight.  Max was with me.  Instead of racing back home to start dinner and unload the dish washer and start a load of laundry, we played on the playground, walked the trail, and watched the dogs at the dog park.  Totally worth the later bedtime.  Here are some pictures from our afternoon together.
