Yeah kittykat it was a great effort and they had fun which is the main thing. We have high school sports days next week so we will see what goes on up there, DS 16 is great at long distance but its a case of whether he chooses to WASTE his energy (his words) and DD 13 has got her high jump ribbon and thats her best event but she will no doubt do all the othr events jsut the same.
As for what our kids do, They used to all do classical and jazz ballet including son, but the costumes for concerts got too expensive (like $75 minimum per costume) and when you have 5 kids doing it that soon ads up with all the other costs for it. So DS16 doesn't do a sport now as he is working part time, DD 13 was doing swimming but wants to start soccer ( which DH and I don't really want ) so we will see what happens there. All the others do swimming at the moment. It can cost a lot to put them in different sports, we are now looking at sending them to little athletics as that is about to start up, they are all excited about it but hopefully its not too expensive as they will all continue with swimming too.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, my DH is working all weekend so i am playing taxi for birthday parties and for DS work plus have to try and get some housework done !!! Hopefully i shall get a big burst of energy very shortly
