Recapping the week on the blog, a few days late! Softball season has me whopped!
Monday April 8
Started the morning off with a walk around the neighborhood. Hadley had the day off of school for the solar eclipse! I’ll admit, I wasn’t too excited about this eclipse thing in the beginning but toward the middle of the day it was really exciting. Hadley had a cool science box that she took home from school, that included a pair of glasses to see the eclipse with. Mid-day, we headed outside to see if we could see it and it was so cool! We all took turns looking through the glasses. The sky got a little dark at one point, and the ground looked like it was shimmering like a pool reflection almost. It was really neat! After the eclipse, Hadley had softball practice with her school team. She is the only third grader, on a fourth grade team. She was a little nervous for the first practice, but she did great!
Tuesday April 9
Started our morning out with a walk around the neighborhood. We have a couple private drives in our neighborhood, so it’s nice to walk down those areas, it’s like walking at a trail. During the morning after breakfast, that is when I’ll shower somedays. Huxley has his spot on his Dad’s side of the bed and he’ll watch his iPad, or Frozen on the tv. Hadley had softball practice for her select team, and then we ate dinner, and read some books before bedtime.
Wednesday April 10
Did a walking workout on YouTube, I found this guy who doesn’t talk during his videos and it’s just music. I love it! Hadley had softball practice for her school team. Huxley and I stayed home, while her and Kevin went to practice. After dinner, I went to the sports meeting up at Hadleys school. Pretty ho hum day.
Thursday April 11
It’s scary how fast Huxley learns how to use electronics, even the little stand it comes with on Hadley’s phone. She has an old phone that doesn’t work for calls or texts, we just use it for games and watching videos. After OJ Simpson passed away the day before, all of the jokes that came out were pretty funny. It’s sad, but that man was crazy. Huxley and I went to Kroger after we dropped off Hadley at school, it was pouring down rain but I needed to go to get some last minute items in preparation for my dad’s birthday party this weekend. Going to the grocery store with a toddler in the rain is a workout in itself! Softball practice got rained out, so Hadley was home with us for dinner! Her bookmark cracks me up, she loves chips so she picked out a chip bookmark at her bookfair a few weeks back. Huxley helping Hadley make lemonade in the big pitcher.
Friday April 12
Did a walking workout on YouTube, and then started getting ready for the party on Saturday. I was blowing up balloons, and one of the balloons that had confetti inside decided to pop! So fun. I’m glad it happened while Huxley was taking a nap. I hit 10k steps before dinner this day, all of that walking around party prepping!
Saturday April 13
Party day! My dad turned 70 last week, so we decided to throw him a birthday party to celebrate the milestone at our house! My two kiddos wore “I love my grandad” shirts, it was too cute! I made a giant number 70 out of photos. I had a few family members send me some pictures of my dad when he was younger. I’ll share more details on the party soon here on the blog. It was a great time!
Sunday April 14
After barely recovering from the party, and all of the preparation, we jumped right into softball season full force! Hadleys select softball team had their first tournament. It was a day full of games! I am still tired from the weekend, and we get to do it all over again this weekend. I don’t know how people do it with little ones, but Huxley was soo good for all of the games. We even managed to get a nap in between the games for him! I need to bring a giant thing of water for myself at all these games, it’s only going to get hotter!
Linking up with Holly and Sarah.

It was a fun little project to do!
Awesome workouts as always! Looks like your weather has been amazing and yeah for softball season!
Thank you, it’s a constant struggle but working out has been a routine I’ve kept up with. Softball is here yay!
