Its only the second week in
February, but I’m already thinking about my Spring schedule! If my son makes the high school baseball
team-its going to be an extremely busy season!
I’ve already added all scheduled H.S. games and his travel team
tournament schedule to a calendar, this doesn’t include his travel team regular
game schedule, but it already looks full. Wow! What in the world have we gotten
ourselves into? It won’t always involve
us sitting at games for 3 hours because we won’t make most of his H.S. games
due to work, but we do have to drive up to school to pick him up. I also have to keep track of his schedule
because I know he won’t! My hubby isn’t
good at keeping track of it either, so it all falls on me J
Baseball schedules, dance, gymnastics, doctors, parties and anything else that
arises must be put on a schedule!
My daughter has also been
saying that she has a dance competition in May.
Not sure what that’s all about since the dance academy has not told me
anything yet, but if it is true, another thing to add to our schedule-and hope
it doesn’t conflict with the baseball schedule.
If it does, I’ll be flying solo for the dance competition while hubby
takes care of getting my son to his game on time. So far I know of one thing that will conflict
with one of the tournament games-my daughter’s communion!
There is no going our
separate ways for this one-No Sir!! My son will be forced to miss this game
because he cannot miss his sister’s Communion.
So besides arranging our Spring schedule, I am now starting to decide
and plan for her Communion. Thanks to
Pinterest, I have found some lovely dresses and accessories, but I’m not 100%
sure I want to order that online. What
if it doesn’t fit? What if its itchy?
I’m hoping to make it out to some stores in the next few weeks to start
looking around, maybe I’ll find something similar to what I have found
online. There were 2 that I really
liked!
It won’t be a big event and
it will mostly be family, especially since a couple friends will be at their
son’s baseball games. So it will be a
small gathering, hopefully at my uncle’s house if not it will be mine. One thing I am sure of is the cake! I will be ordering from the same Italian
bakery I always order from…they are delicious!! The decorating is nothing out
of this world, like those Cake Boss cakes, but they taste amazing….and that is
what’s most important to me! The cake
will accompany some Italian pastries, Cuban appetizers, sandwiches/wraps and
chips(gotta mix things up a bit, lol).
It’s a lunch, so I figured that ordering a tray of subs/wraps would be
good. No cooking for me on this day!
Now I also need to decide
what to do about pictures! I took my
son’s pictures and regret not taking him to a photographer. I’m thinking of calling up a locally known
photographer for pricing-I’ve seen his work and it is beautiful! I’m just worried about the cost! Sears, Jcpenney and even Picture People have
decent prices and specials-but I don’t feel like they have nice ‘Communion’
backdrops or props. So this is why I’m
leaning towards a photographer and I just hope the cost isn’t crazy so it will
make the decision easier.
I also need to look for
souveniors and the cake topper which I prefer them to be from Precious Moments!
I LOVE their stuff! My wedding cake topper and both my kids’ baptism cake
toppers were Precious Moments. For my
son’s Communion I couldn’t find one, so I made one with a dollar store
figurine-came out very cute, in my opinion!
So since I have a few months to plan, I hope to find a precious moments
figurine!
I think that’s it for now!
It’s a shame there isn’t any vacation planning involved, but hopefully that
will come in a few months once baseball season is over!
