Farewell Cheer Season!

At last, the cheer season is coming to an end for my girls and our family.  During cheer comp season, it seems that cheer takes over our very beings.  As much as I love watching my girls cheer (and how much fun they have doing it), I sure am happy when each season comes to an end.  It's a time to look forward to more family meals around the table;  A time for my girls to actually play with the toys that have been ignored the past few months; A time to spend money on something other than out of town cheer comp expenses.  We had 2 two-day out of town competitions this season, and no matter how much notice we have, it still seems like it drains us financially and physically.  We had a blast in both Anaheim and Vegas, but it seems to take us days to recover from these trips.  It sure will be nice to have some down time over the next few months.  Maybe I will actually save some money over the next few months in preparation of next cheer season.  I always say that, but haven't done it yet.  Oh Well!

TGMIO: Thank goodnes March is over!

We have all heard of TGIF...well, for me, it is TGMIO.  Don't get me wrong, we had a lot of fun in March.  Disneyland and Anaheim 3 different weekends.  I think I swiped my annual passport for Disneyland 11 different days this month and I am exhausted.  My bank is also a little broke, too.  I wasn't sure I would make it through the month alive, but I did!  I am looking back now and, having had a week to recupperate, am remembering it more fondly than I did 10 days ago.  We have our last cheer comp of the season this weekend in Vegas. Yes...traveling to Vegas, through the dessert, with my 8 and 6 year old girls, for a 2 day cheer comp.  The girls are excited because the only other time they went to Vegas was when they were too young to remember.  We are hoping to squeeze some fun into this trip.  However, we did see that it is supposed to rain this weekend.  This has certainly been a very busy cheer season, but we have created a lot of great and fond memories.  I am looking forward to some downtime and also, for some time for my bank account to recover.  :)
