Full weekend

Where do I start?  This week was full of events.  On Tuesday we moved cows and calves off a corn circle to some graze out wheat.  That went pretty well considering that it could have been disastrous. We moved them about 6 miles.  It was slow going but that was expected.  Many of the baby calves ended up getting shoved in the trailer if they weren’t moving along very fast. Once we got to the field only a few cows wanted to turn back, but they soon settled down.
Later that evening we attended Weston’s kindergarten music program. They sang several little songs.  Weston has been heard humming them around the house.
On Thursday Addie’s track meet got canceled, but it was actually kind of a relief.  I had plenty of things to do and so did the kids.  On Friday both Addie and Allie got to attend the Italian Dinner that was hosted by their school.  The students had to meet two requirements to attend.  They needed to lead a conference with their parents, and have their grades in good standing.
After the rehearsal for their piano recital, the girls were ready to get their hair done.
They met up with their friends and snapped a few pictures before the dinner.
On Saturday Weston had his last soccer game.  The soccer season really did not go very well.  About half of their games got canceled due to bad weather. Most of the team made it to the last game and they really had a good time. And yes they won.  They played on the football field artificial turf instead of grass so the ball really moved quickly.
The girls had their piano recital on Sunday.  The girls both did well.
The kids have about 12 days of school left and they are starting to get the feeling of wanting to be done with school.  I have been running out of ideas for their lunches, but we will get by.
