March Madness

The first few months of the year have been a bit overwhelming for us - the lack of posts to the Clover Street Chronicles is a direct result of two busy girls and two overworked parents.  I am going to try to get back on track in March, but considering what's on the calendar, that may be unlikely.  February brought us soccer games, basketball games, lacrosse practices, All State Band tryouts and two trips to New Hampshire (by different parts of the family), plus a few snow storms.  March brings the close of the second trimester (middle school nerves are at their peak as she tries to make high honors for the second time in a row), 7 All State rehearsals and a concert, the Invention Convention (for both girls), 8 soccer games plus a soccer tournament in Massachusetts, lacrosse conditioning (for both girls), basketball practices, and seven soccer practices a week (between the two girls).  Elizabeth was just accepted as a flute student at the Hartt School of Music, so Lee will be bringing her up to Hartford one afternoon a week for lessons.  We are hanging on - successfully having family dinners every night and spending Friday and Saturday evenings watching movies and catching up on our DVR'd shows, but I think that we could all use a bit of a break.  Already looking forward to the end of the month.....

Enjoying their first ever Shamrock Shakes!
