Weekend Recap

When I look back at all the images from this weekend, I think, "No wonder I'm so tired." Saturday morning started with A2 and A3s basketball game~another victory for them. After their game we headed to A1's game, where he scored the winning point in the final seconds. He was fouled while shooting and went to the line to shoot two. He missed both, but on the second shot there was a lane violation by the other team and he got to shoot again AND he scored! Way to go!!




After AWANA Sunday evening and a delicious and entertaining dinner at the local Waffle House, we headed home for more entertainment by the Triple As. I had purchased several hats at Target that were on clearance for $1.04 and $2.48. When you have 3 heads to cover, and have heard, "MOMMY, where's my hat??" as you're running out the door, that seems like a great deal. The boys proceeded to try all of them on--simultaneously--six in all! Very funny if I do say so myself.

After hats, the kids brought out their guitars and gave a little mini concert~also incredibly entertaining.


Hey, I have an idea... Did you NOT hear what I just said?
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!


Seriously?! I have to go to bed now? I DON'T WANT TO!
Wow, I was more tired than I thought. I didn't even make it all the way into my bed.


School was closed on Monday and thanks to a very generous boss, we headed to the Charlotte Bobcats basketball game. Afternoon games are great for taking the kids.

A1 thinks he'll try his hand at throwing up and catching popcorn.
Yesterday was the snow day and the day for taking down the Christmas tree. Maybe I should save that for a Not Me Monday type of post. Most certainly, I did not take down my Christmas tree on January 20th. Nope, not me.

The Snow Fell

We awoke this morning to the glorious news of a Snow Day. Keep in mind that it doesn't take much snow to close schools in the south. We had a great time this morning.

There were snow angels to be made.


Smiles to share.

Some more devious than others.

There was sliding to be done.

A3 tried rolling down the hill.



He was screaming, "I LOVE YOU MOMMY!"


At the end of the time we spent outside, this is what A3 looked like.
Hot chocolate was enjoyed by all--the cool whip was enjoyed by some more than others. I know for sure that A1 had at least 3 "helpings" of the cool whip. That's what snow days are for.

Wordless Wednesday

Fun with Plates

After church today we headed to Aunt Saundra's for a wonderful lunch. After dessert the boys put the plates to good use. Kristi, these are for you...wish you had been there.




I also was given a new lens (thanks Tory!!). I'm lovin' it!

Random Conversations

Andrew: Mommy, Miss Karen looked really pretty today.

Me: Really? Why was she so pretty today?

Andrew: Well, she was pretty when she took her top off.

Maybe I should spend some time at the school...

And at the dinner table Abby was discussing her friend "V".

Andrew: Oh yeah, I know her.

Abby: Really? What color is she?

Andrew: I don't know.

Abby: Then you don't know her. She's brown. What about "B"? Do you know her? What color is she?

Andrew: I don't know.

Abby: She's [points to her cheek], with a little bit of brown.


Less movies and more conversation. I like hearing the things they think about.

Wordless Wednesday

He's Supposed to Be Sleeping

Instead he's trying on hats and making faces at me.


And finally, he sleeps, still wearing the hat. You never know how cold it's going to get in the house at night.
