Bus problems again!  Ugh!  I cannot wait for the new bus company to take over.

Today was the big cheer performance at the MU Women’s Basketball game.  Laura was very excited and could not wait to get to the stadium.  She looked so cute wearing her “Future Mizzou Cheerleader” t-shirt and shaking her pom-poms.

She spent the first half of the game sitting behind the cheerleaders and cheering along with them.  At halftime, the girls took the floor.  The performance was not very long, but Laura did very well.  She told me afterwards that she wants to go to the next MU Cheer Clinic.  I would call that a successful new experience!

We attended the Blue and Gold Banquet this evening for Cub Scout Pack 2.  After a potluck dinner, we watched the Webelos cross over to Boy Scouts.  John was very interested during the ceremony and paid careful attention.  He really enjoys Cub Scouts and looks forward to each new event.  It has been really great to watch him experience scouting and I hope he continues for many years to come.

Laura was sick yesterday and missed school.  Because she missed school, she didn’t get to make her bag for valentines.  Laura came home today in near tears because she didn’t get the chance to make her bag because it was a crazy busy school day.  I emailed her teacher to ask what color bag they had used (fully intending to buy a bag so that Laura could make her Valentine’s bag this weekend).  I was reminded *yet again* what a fantastic school my kids are absolutely lucky enough to attend.  Thank you so very, very much to Laura Sandstedt for taking time out of your Friday night to run a small, white paper bag by our house.  You, along with all the other Ridgeway teachers, just make me say “thank you, thank you, thank you.”

…Sundae!  We took John to the 63 Diner for dinner since Laura was at the MU Cheer Clinic.  John got to make his own sundae for dessert.  For the record, he did *not* use every possible topping.  He left off the Butterfingers…

She is officially in Beginner II!  She has come a long way in just three months of gymnastics.
