An Active Weekend

Wow what a fun and active weekend we had this weekend. My kids are involved in activities. They choose the activities they want to do...our only rule is that each child only does ONE activity at a time. This is just our rule. I know many of our children's friends are in 2, 3, 4 even 5 different activities and this does not include school and that works for them, however, for us I feel like life can get too hectic very quickly and school has plenty of things to focus on and we want to make sure we have time just to do things as a family, so this is just our guidelines. Even though the boys are twins their interests are very different. Nate loves any activity that has a ball, football, basketball, baseball etc., Nick loves gymnastics. Heenjoys a sport where he relies on himself to succeed.

This weekend began with a Gymnastics meet

in Lincoln for my son Nick. (He took 4th place All Around and we are very proud of him). Then a basketball tournament on Saturday and Sunday for Nate. (Nate's team won the Championship game and took home 1st place, again we are very proud of him and his entire team, as they grew a lot over the season). Now even though the weekend was busy, we took time for church before the games. This is a very important ingredient in our "healthy family recipe" we get refueled for the week and focus ourselves on what is important in our family.

After getting home Sunday evening I was exhausted, however Kati was still rocking and rolling and she

pulled out the Skinny Dish book and made cupcakes. The PERFECT ending to an active weekend.

Next weekend we

have another gymnastics meet, but this time in Grand Island on Friday night, this is where my mom and dad live, so we are spending the weekend relaxing and hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa! Another important ingredient in our "healthy family recipe" finding time for those special Grandparents! They have so much to teach & share. I can't wait! This is the perfect follow up to this busy weekend.
