The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Laundry, basketball, cleaning, grocery shopping, and football – it was a typical Sunday in the Kassel Household.

Laura cheered in her first game for the Upward basketball league this morning.  Laura and Ava, one of her school friends, are on the same cheer team together.

While it was an *early* morning (Laura’s game started at 8 am), she had a lot of fun!  It was really cute watching our girl cheer.

Let Upward basketball season begin!  John was very excited, but absolutely freaked out and nervous, about his first basketball game ever.  Despite that, John really did well.

He scored two points (even though his age group doesn’t keep score) and he realized that he can play the game without being nervous. It was a win-win!

I was looking at our February family calendar and it occurred to me that we *might* be a little busy…

The snow stopped sometime overnight, but because Columbia Public Schools couldn’t get everything cleared, a snow day was used!  We took advantage and went to brunch at Cracker Barrel.  Then, Andy took the kids to Stephens Lake Park for three hours of sledding fun while I relaxed at home.  I think it was the perfect day all around!

What do you do on a day when it snows?  Pour a glass of red wine, sit back, and relax.  Of course, you can also make blueberry muffins and soup because you have a little extra time.

OR, you can also eat snow, and *lots* of it!

OR, you can climb up a hill with your friends…

…and sled down said hill with your friends, repeatedly.

All are very good, viable options for a snowy day.

Some of you will be getting emails from Laura asking if you want to buy Girl Scout cookies.  It is fine to say no.  She wants to ask on her own without Daddy and I helping.  I am proud of this kid for working hard towards her goal.  Go Laura!
