Closer

Well, its getting closer and closer ( 9 days and counting) until The Harrisburg Angels home opener. I feel like lately all I have been doing is sleeping, eating and breating football. Not such a bad thing except when you are a mother of three. Though I have been ok with balancing things so far. D is an assistant coach with the team so that is nice and the kids do actually come to practice on occasion and hang out. They enjoy it.
I am attempting to not get burnt out by the whole thing.. lets hope not. I still have 8 games to play! Honestly, I can't wait. I have played sports before but nothing like this and the closer it gets the more excited I become.
Here is our schedule:

April 22nd
Tidewater Floods @ Harrisburg Angels
April 29th
Harrisburg Angels @ Baltimore Burn
May 6th
Harrisburg Angels @ DC Divas
May 20th

Check out the very cool website for more info and some great pictures. www.harrisburgangels.com!

Olivia is doing well with cheerleading. she seems to enjoy it. Hailey has ultimately told us that she no longer wants to take dance classes, but she is very much looking forward to going to kindergarden. I think that everyday she asks me when it starts! LOL
She had orientation recently, and is super excited. Good news is we meet with the speech therapists at the school in a few weeks to go over her therapy schedule for next year. So that will be a big relief for me as well. So all is well!

Life.. as it flies by

Things have been unbelievable busy around the Pratt household, as if they aren't always. With football, spring, yard work and everything else that has been coming up I have barely had time to think more or less post..
So here is about the last month in a nut shell!
The kids are doing well, Riley's head is finally healing, although his Harry Potter scar is still very visible and since D took him to get his hair cut last week, it really sticks out. He is getting more and more horrendously bad by the day.. He does exactly everything you tell him not to do. I suppose thats a boy for you! A couple of weeks ago he was getting into the van and he had a pink purse. I asked him why he was carrying a purse, he was a little boy after all. He turned to me and annouced that this purse was for his lip gloss.. All this just days after he announced to D that he wanted to be a ballerina when he grows up. I do believe it is time to find the boy some friends who are boys! LOL
The girls are also good, Hailey is officially registered for kindergarden and asks me every single day when she is starting. She is so excited. They have all day kindergarden at their school, so I think she will like it alot.
Same old same old with the 7 going on 16 year old. She made a competetive cheerleading squad called PA Extreme Cheer. She is doing well and excited to get competing.
Last Friday I took Olivia and Riley to the Shrine Circus. Hailey went to the races with D. The circus was fun.. I hadnt been there is forever. We rode the elephant, walked around trying to avoid the clowns so that Olivia didn't have a fit (she truly is scared of clowns). We ate ourselves silly. We had good seats right behind the sound booth, which was also where the ringmaster (who was a woman) was sitting. Honestly she looked just like my mom's friend Kim Bechtel, who is no longer Kim Bechtel because she just got married! (congrats Kim!) Even Olivia said how much they looked alike. Olivia actually thought it was her! Kim, did you join the circus and didn't tell us? LOL
Football is going well, more then well! Our first game is April 22 on City Island in Harrisburg, Pa. Please please check out our website at www.harrisburgangels.com! We actually have equipment now and are tackling etc. Its fantastic! Last night we were actually on the CBS 21 local news. The link is on the website.. It was a great piece. So watch it! Support us.. Woman's Football rocks!
