Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
It was Awards Night for Upward Basketball and Cheer. The entertainment was Robin Slain, one of only three women who can spin ten basketballs at once. She was really entertaining and fun to watch! Laura’s Cheer Squad got to perform the cheer/dance routine that they have worked on all year and both kids had a great time. John received an Upward basketball and Laura got an Upward cheer bag as prizes for participating. What a great way to end the kids’ first Upward season!
Two hours was all I needed. Some time with some friends at a Pampered Chef party and a bit of shopping on my own. Two hours can make all the difference. Special thanks to my husband for knowing that I needed the time and for making me go out.
With a little bit of help…
…the Easter decorations are up!
It was a fun afternoon with great friends! My best work friend, Jennifer, and her daughter, Lucy, came to visit this afternoon. Laura had not seen Lucy for a while, so a Saturday playdate was in order! Lucy and Laura had a fantastic time building a fort, playing with the whoopie cushion (which is now strategically placed hidden under the sheets of John’s bed), and watching a movie. For Jen and I, it was good snacks, drinks, and lots of talking. It was a great way to spend a cold, Saturday afternoon!
When Andy goes on a trip, it is always pizza and Star Wars on Friday night…
Our traditional trip to Flat Branch for good beer and food on St. Patrick’s Day!
Tonight, we told Laura that her Easter basket would not be full of the expensive things she is used to. She had requested an Ozobot, which is a miniature robot. Well, it has been an expensive month filled with some unexpected, expensive things so we wanted her to be aware that this would not happen. Andy even said, “How about if we get that for your birthday instead of for your Easter basket?” We all but said that we are the Easter Bunny. To counteract the disappointment, I told her that since it would be her big “2-digit” birthday that the Ozobot would be perfect. I left the room for a minute and came back to her handing me this… Now, I *love* that she still believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but I also wonder if we should tell her. I suspect that Andy and I will be sitting her down for a discussion sometime soon, but not until after Easter… Let her be a kid for a little bit longer…
