Track/Swimming/Soccer

Ds just tried out for track. We had to get him a last-minute physical that was quite the ordeal, but he made it to try-outs in time. It really was not a try-out as the coach did not cut anyone. Ds will ride the athletic bus to the high school every day after school and practice for 1 hour. The middle school has Friday and Monday off and they will have a two-hour practice Friday. He is very excited and sore from two days of running. Tuesday he ran about 2 miles and Wednesday he ran 3 miles in Converse sneakers. Poor kid could barely walk last night and went to bed around 7:30PM. Dad loaned him his running shoes until we can get to the store this weekend. Ds will be outfitted with new running shoes, several pairs of athletic shorts, several pairs of athletic pants and probably a couple of t-shirts. 

He also started taking percussion at school. His drum sticks (brand-new, but not expensive) are already missing, either lost or stolen so we will have to replace those. He is really loving school and has settled down with his behavior. He knows that he has to keep his grades up and have no behavior problems in order to stay in track. 

Dd signed up for the swim team, but practices do not start until April. We might sign her up for soccer as well, but it will overlap with swimming for about 3 weeks at the end. I am not sure if that will be too much for her. It might be too much for me as we will be having track meets, swim practice and soccer practice/games. Sounds like  a lot of running around to me.
