4 outta 5 Days

with bball games! 

Miss B (and Husband) were back at it at home on Monday....


and the fan club showed up... peep Coach Wes there? 


Def. didn't turn out like we'd hoped....

On Tuesday Minnie was ACTUALLY on the court... finally HER home opener....

Also did not go the way we had hoped but we played a GREAT 2nd 1/2 and it was a fun game to be at...

Also fun was watching poor TiTi give Miss B a piggy back... OUCH!


Wednesday *might* have been the MOST fun though....I LOVE this girl SO much!

Peep Miss B and Miss O on the same court?!!? So fun!! There was one point when Miss B was setting a screen and tripped O and got a case of the giggles so bad...

Love these two....



Following photo cred. to the AD liaison 


Thursday we actually HAD THE NIGHT OFF... Well...I mean... we only had to zip Minnie BACK to MMS and then Husband had to go BACK to get her.. but that's a "night off" :)
Friday... yahoo..... SCHOOL BREAK kicking off with a travel an hour south... 
Photo cred. Minnie ;) 

I sent this pic to my friend Heather... she is married to Ryan and they live in this town... Ryan has sat in those chairs and coached his two girls... who now go to University of GA and University of TN respectively... 15 years ago I gave my notice so I could stay home with THIS girl... and Friday night I was sitting in the bleachers and saw HIS girls.... home from their colleges...

Minnie got in and got BUSY...



SO proud of our girl for making the moments count and working hard whatever field, court, track... she is on.... well done Sporty Spice!
I did go over and talk to Ryan's girls.... I did a quick search on the blog to see if I ever mentioned my favorite two "bosses" and this came up... Ryan and John... best.CFPS.EVER. I am just THAT much behind that I can send their mom messages about "lucky shorts, socks, hair-dos, and all the sweat" and she gets it... and misses it! Thankful for those that have gone before.... :)

The Quarantine (ish) Weekend Report

 Gals were feeling better by Friday, albeit not eating much, but I wasn't worried about them being contagious anymore so Miss B went to her buddies bday party.... Glow Sew Party! They made Christmas PJ pants and had the best time eating pancakes and drinking hot chocolate....


Husband worked concessions for the JV bball game and I came in game day gear after dropping off Miss B.... love being matchy matchy! :)

Because Minnie missed two days of school/practice she couldn't play (truth be told she wasn't ready to either)... but Coach allowed her to sit on the bench with her team since she was feeling better...

She even stole her father's popcorn at the end of the game... :)

We snapped a quick selfie in the town square when we stopped to grab Miss B.... I love these gals of mine....
On Saturday AM Minnie had a fundraiser for bball... a "lock-up"....complete with cops and everything!

I posted her mugshot on FB and girl raised $15 over what she needed to....her father and I tried to pay them to KEEP her... ;) kidding Minnie... KIDDING.... 
When Husband and I got home from picking her up I rolled Miss B off the couch and forced her to meander with me down the driveway and enjoy the brisk air and sunshine....

Right before she lost her footing and ended up head over tea kettle and in the snow! :) 

When we got back this was the face I was met with.... she was none too impressed with the Science work she had missed....I texted Do-Do and said she LOOKS like your sister but this 'tude about things that are black and white was VERY much HIM... When you know the TRUTH....

you know....
We finished Saturday night by renting The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and Husband driving all over town to get their hearts desires for take-out since they hadn't eaten.....

On Sunday we worshiped on the couch with our Pentecostal friends ;) at Free Chapel and Husband and I ran out to do some Christmas errands...a MUCH lower key weekend than we had anticipated but a FANTASTIC Family Time in our cozy home....

Sickies

 Minnie said earlier this week... Mom you haven't blogged... um... nope... cuz really who needs pictures of this...

On Monday sweet Miss B woke up at 4:30 and came in to tell us she had been sick. Poor thing was down for the count every 20-30 minutes until about 8:30ish... I put her down for a nap in her clean sheet bed at 11:15 and she didn't wake up until I poked my head in at 1:30 to let her know I was leaving to pick up Minnie. 

My house smells of lysol and bleach... my hands are raw from washing and cleaning and I even stuck the loveseat OUTSIDE when I sprayed it for her entire nap

We thought we were in the clear until Thursday when Minnie woke up and came into our room and said "I don't feel good...." white as a sheet.... and it was ROUND TWO...

Her version lasted longer and was a little more aggressive I would say... but PROPS and kudos to my girls for not giving us ANYTHING to "clean up"!!!  

I texted Husband on his way home from Miss B's bball game and said this is the SECOND time this week I have made PERFECT pieces of cinnamon sugar toast that have looked like this and been thrown in the trash. Hahaha!

By bedtime she was at least keeping down a little bite of banana and ice chips... while she watched "film" (live Sanford vs. York girls bball) 

NOT a fun way to spend a WEEK and praying a full hedge of protection around Husband and I as we head into the QUIET weekend.....
