Our two little Ballet I students auditioned and have roles in the upcoming Twelve Dancing Princesses ballet – which means on Tuesdays they have a rehearsal and THEN…normal ballet class. So they dance a total of two hours afterschool.
THEN…Em meets up with her little fishy sister and they have a swim class.
And THEN…the two girls proceed to eat J. and I out of house and home.
Seriously. I have never seen my two children eat as much as they packed away today. I think I now understand how moms of teenage boys might feel. I found myself just shoving food at them to keep ahead of the curve and packing a snack for between afterschool snack and dinner.
I will say that while all of their activity eats away at our food budget, it more than makes up for it when they literally fall into bed and pass out. So, yes maybe it is worth it.
(Apologies for the phone pics – I did not have time to even grab my camera to haul it with me. So stinky phone photos it is.)
Lots of activities make for tired hungry children. Sounds like they are having fun with it.
Those girls need lots of fuel to keep up with all of their activities. I feel like my kids either want to eat everything in site or nothing at all. Passing out at night is definitely worth it in my opinion.
And I thought I had a busy Tuesday!!!
HEY! I’ve built two months worth of Monday’s out of “stinky phone photos”.
I wonder if it’s all the activity or if the girls are simultaneously going through a growth spurt? They sure do stay busy. No time for trouble at all!
I love your photos! I am not sure what I am going to do once my boys get into other activities because they eat me out of house and home already (LOL)!
Oh golly, that sounds like Nadia! The child can EAT! She is hungry all the time, eats enough for a grown man and then wants a snack 20 minutes later. And she’s always been that way! Our food battles are very different than the average kid…I have to cut her off!
Mom’s of teenaged boys spent A LOT of time at the grocery store!!! I have to buy the Jumbo sized lunch bags to hold what goes with them to school each day!
And then there is the afterschool snack and dinner (but if dinner is not early enough there is a pre-dinner snack….and if dinner is too early add in an after dinner snack). Oh – to have that metabolism!! lol
