Bryn ran the 4x800 and 4x400 at a track meet vs. Brookfield East last Thursday. Imagine my surprise when I see her come to the starting line with her right leg bandaged from thigh to shin! I had to wait until her race was over to ask "What the hank?" Apparently she hurt it practicing hurdles the day before. Her distance coaches were none too happy. You could see that she wasn't feeling the best.
Last Friday night I met Wendy and Robin (the girls babysitters) out to dinner. It was close to Wendy's birthday so Robin wouldn't let that slide. The waiters sung to Wendy and we got a great big dessert to share. Talked a lot about college as Wendy and Robin both have 3 of their 4 kids through it.
Jeff drove Abby down to UWMilwaukee Saturday morning for her UW placement testing. Then that evening was our favorite band event, Jazz N Java. The high school cafeteria is set up with night club seating and all the jazz bands perform in a very casual atmosphere where you can buy baked goods and coffee/soda/water to enjoy at your table during the concert. The only bad thing is that seating is so limited, that I can never invite anyone else!
Sunday was a beautiful day. Perfect for moving our swingset to Waukesha. Kristin and Carlo (and Bella and Lucy) arrived with the UHaul around 10am and loaded 'er up! That was the easy part. We all caravaned out to the Taorminas for assembly. Abby, Carlo and Jeff put it together while Kristin, me, Bryn and Paige occupied Bella and Lucy. The swingset is usable, but we had some extra difficulties because of the slope of their backyard. That was really a monstrous swingset! We left off the tire swing and monkey bars for now.
Bryn did the hurdles for the first time at a JV track meet last Tuesday. She did really well! She ran the 100 high hurdles and the 300 lows. Bryn liked the lows better and was 6 seconds below what her coach was expecting! A team member then drove her directly downtown to UWAY for rehearsal after the meet. Meanwhile, I accompanied Abby and Dana to a Girl Scout adult recognition event at the Zoo. It was very nice and reaffirming to recognized for all the hard work they've put in over their 12 years in Girl Scouting.
