\t\t\t\t\"busy<\/a>The Greiert family includes three kids with a plethora of sporting activities<\/a> as well as dance and music activities. These spring programs keep parents Michelle and Jay running around making sure to get kids picked up and dropped off at different days, times and locations. \u201cSpring is definitely crazy for us<\/a>,\u201d said Michelle. \u201cBaseball is twice a week, soccer is twice a week plus a game on Saturdays, and then there is dance class, piano lessons, and the recitals for those. It makes for a crazy weekly calendar.\u201d\n\nSo busy, in fact, the couple has lost track of who was supposed to pick the kids up causing minor panic. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten a text from Michelle regarding \u2018after I pick Jackson up,\u2019 and realized I hadn\u2019t picked Jackson up,\u201d said Jay. \u201cEvery day was a struggle to remember who had to go where and when. Honestly, most days we were praying for rain outs.\u201d The spring season begins in late March, and usually finishes the last week of school in June. \u201cWeek after week it became such a job to manage who needed to drop off and who needed to pick up,\u201d said Michelle. \u201cAt times, I would forget which one of my kids played baseball and which one played the piano.\u201d\nLuckily for the Greierts, all that confusion ended that final week of May when suddenly, they had it all figured out. \u201cIt was like a well-oiled machine,\u201d said proud father Jay. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have to text, call, use google calendars, email our friends, we just knew where we were supposed to be and when. It\u2019s really special when it clicks like that.\u201d Michelle agrees. \u201cThe teamwork was there, the comradery was there, the effort, it just all came together.\u201d Unfortunately for the Greeierts, they were only able to enjoy two weeks of glory as the spring programs came to an end. \u201cIt was tough to find out the season was over when we finally figured it out,\u201d said Michelle. \u201cNow, we have to start preparing for the summer, and what camps the kids need to be at and when.\u201d The Greierts are hopeful they can bring back some of that late spring magic for summer.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
