This weekend brought a glimpse of the "college boy"
He had time to invite the neighbor over and get Ben and Luke to join in a computer game with him.
and this weekend brought an end to the 6th grade basketball season..... we finished 2nd in the St. Kilian's tournament and had a fun pizza party afterward! Here is Coach, Luke and Cheerleader Anna Grace at home after the game....
Great season, guys!!!!

Icicles

After the snow last weekend, it's been gorgeous around here...new, white snow! We've even had a little melting this week, which has caused some interesting icicles hanging from our overhang.....sure hope they don't fall on the doggies!!! One dripped on Minnie's head and she blinked really hard and then ran in the house!! Happy Weekend!!

The Lady Comets

Anna plays on a team called the Lady Comets....it's a group of 3rd and 4th grade girls. She plays on Saturdays and has practice on Tuesday nights. It's been really fun watching the team learn the plays and improve each week. Here are a few shots from last Saturday's game.
Check out the defense....

A Joke

Ben was bored the other day and played a practical joke on Luke. He grabbed Anna's mannequin head and planted it in his bed. Then he strategically placed some pillows to make it look like someone was sleeping in Luke's bed. Luke walked into his room and did a double take .......and then ran and started beating on Ben!!!

SUPERBOWL CHAMPS....GREEN BAY PACKERS



What a build up to the game......and what a game!!!!! We actually watched the game as a family, but it was John and Ben that were most into the game- I couldn't believe they were sitting on the kitchen counters....ridiculous!!
Superbowl food was not the usual, but Ben did make taco dip.....we had this instead.....steak, baked potatoes and oven roasted asparagus!!
There were obviously lots of HUGS....
and now WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Errands.....

John, Anna and I ran a few errands last weekend. John's wedding ring was cracked and needed to be replaced so we spent some time at the jewelry store. In the store was an area for kids- they had a private little room with glass walls and more importantly....a TV with the Disney Channel playing!! Let's just say that Anna spent most of her time in there while we browsed the store. Well, Anna had an agenda of her own when we were finished at the jewelry store. She had a gift card to spend at Michael's Arts and Craft store. John was a trooper and agreed to stop and shop- but he couldn't find the "Daddy Area" with the TV and sports playing, so he decided to color instead......
