Girl Scout Cookie pickup was today. So proud to realize that Laura sold 138 boxes, which equals *TWELVE* cases! That also equals $69 for her Daisy Scout Troop. Go Laura!
Dinner!
Mac & Cheese, Pringles, and Cheese Sticks for dinner! YUMMY! (This is what we eat when Daddy isn’t home…)
Spelling
At dinner tonight, I asked John to spell his name. He promptly said, “J-O-H-N.” He asked us how to spell his last name and then his middle name, which we did. His curiosity up, John asked us our first names and how to spell them, which we also did. You could see by the expression on his face that he was thinking something. Then, John said, “I don’t like the names of you guys.” Without missing a beat, Andy replied, “You can just call us “Mommy” and “Daddy.” John said, “Ok!” Whew! Crisis averted… Though, I’m not sure what the crisis really was!
Sidewalk Fun
As it was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, Laura decided it was time for some sidewalk chalk fun. She is pretty persuasive and managed to convince me to join her. Together, we “prettied up” the walkway in front of our house. About halfway through our decorating, Claire (one of the neighborhood kids) appeared to add some more artwork. We now have quite a beautiful walkway! It was a nice way to spend part of a beautiful, sunny afternoon.
My Coffee Mug
My new coffee mug from Shutterfly arrived today. Love it!
Homework
Back to reality after a busy, fun weekend. It’s homework time!
A Day of Sports
It was a day of sporting events! Andy took the kids to see the Mizzou Women’s Basketball Team play the Tennessee Volunteers. IT was the “Black Out” game so all members of the Kassel Family were wearing black!
It was a great game with Mizzou beating the #9 ranked Volunteers! Mizzou played very well and they got to watch Morgan Eye, who also happens to be one of our neighbors, tie the school record (90) for three-pointers in a single season. After the game, Andy took the kids down to see the players and Laura got her picture taken with Morgan. Laura was very excited and told me all about it when she got home.
I stayed home because I was getting the house ready to host some friends for Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone began arriving about 4:30 for an evening of football, food, and drinks. It was a great evening with great friends! Thanks to all who came over to spend the evening with us. We had lots of fun!
