busy busy day

Mondays are going to be kind of busy for us, although today was even busier than will be typical. H started TAFA today. She loved it, and so did I. It is a big, bustling, friendly place with lots of kids taking lots of classes and meeting in the lunch room to chat and laugh together. Lots of mom's sitting in the halls waiting for kids, and lots of younger siblings everywhere.
H is taking Suzuki Violin 1. Her teacher, Ms. Kathy, is very nice. We came with a bad violin but this afternoon found the good one in her size. We need to fix her bow but with any luck will have that done before the next class.
Then she has drama and choir. She said of the three choir was her favorite. After those three she will have lunch with her friends and then we'll be done for the day. My plan is to take E and G to the museum or the zoo after violin (where we have to stay) and to get her after lunch.
Today E got to go play at his friend Jason's for the whole morning, which was great because I didn't have to drag two littles around while H and I chased down classes and tried to figure out what we were supposed to do. Next week should be better.

This week is also equestrian camp. H LOVES it. Her horse is a cute little pony named Cinnamon who she wishes she "could put in my pocket and take home". On Friday there is a show. She came home dusty and tired but very happy. J took her for a swim while I fixed dinner and she went to bed after FHE without a fuss.

Brother had a pretty good day as well. He got to play all morning with Jason then when we got home our friends called to see if they could come swim and then he got to swim with his friend C. Yeah!

J baby-sat and had a student council meeting. She's baby-sitting tomorrow too, making lots of money!

S went to work. S just finished reading Eclipse and J is in the middle of New Moon so there's been a lot of vampire talk around too :)
