The Weekend Report ~ February Break (Part 1)

 My girl makes me laugh.... I came downstairs one morning and saw she had updated the Family Calendar on the fridge with her vacation plans... :)

So on Saturday while Minnie, Husband and Sky headed fishing... Miss B and I got ready to host a couple of her friends for her first ever GALENTINE's party! She had asked me months ago if she could do something with some friends... I said sure... she invited a few and two sweet girls responded yes...

Lucky for us it was the day AFTER Valentine's so we snagged some 50% decorations and a couple of gifts, some snacks and had a plan READY... 

Miss B wanted to go sledding so sledding is what we did... 

We had the whole park to ourselves for about 6 minutes... it was SO weird... the last time I took the girls it was MOBBED... this time it was empty!

Conditions were not GREAT... lotta ice... trust me... (OUCH) but these three had the best time hanging out, making track implements to throw, and catch up. (One of them goes to another school this year so it was SO fun for them to be together!)

We came home and I threw their "lunch" together :) Up and down that hill had them finishing this board in NO time... 

Meanwhile.... these 3 had a great time on the ice...Photos by Sky... Sky not pictured :)

A fun way to kick off vaca.... followed by a BLIZZARD :)

That's a Wrap

Bball season is "officially" over in the Mouse House... Minnie had to go to THEIR house for the first round of playoffs... 

And these two were back at it again... matched up and so fun to watch...

Ella has struggled a bit this season but this game she was ON FIRE... We were down two starters and we did the BEST we could with what we had but it just wasn't enough...

Still so VERY fun to watch these two battle it out...

My girl was hurt, defeated and disappointed... but I did love seeing her go through the handshake line and then swing BACK around to give Ella and her friend Lyla a hug...I WISH I would have had my phone out for that... but as HTED says... we Mama's know it happened and that's what counts!! 

She also came home with a fat lip and a tooth with a "concussion" that the dentist is keeping an eye on... pretty sure she'll be just fine but a follow up x-ray in March just to be safe...

The assistant coach's wife sent me this pic and I couldn't LOVE it more... she didn't make this shot but she FOLLOWED IT... snagged the rebound and put it in for 2... my girl works HARD..... there were some rough patches along the way just like soccer... but I tell yah.... 

any "trouble" from the Coach in her Spring sport.... and I might not stay so quiet... ;) hee hee hee

BRING ON TRACK!

The Weekend Report

While Husband and his buddies were off AGAIN this weekend catching fish like THESE... 

After practice on Saturday SIL L, Sky, the gals and I headed out on a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.... Get Minnie a new jacket and snow pants....

I am embarrassed to admit that my ice fishing/winter outdoor girl has been borrowing her sister's snow pants and her jacket is too small... course this is the same girl who wore size 11 boots that were at LEAST 2 sizes too small just so that she could get out on the ice but STILL.... My girl needs GEAR!!!!

We had "some" success with a jacket... the the one I REALLY wanted they didn't have but we got the next level down... and she's happy with the purchase.... plus it was 60% off. Hooray! No luck with snow pants though...bummer... we were able to try on a few pairs to get a sizing gage... but they are sold out EVERYWHERE.... BUMMER....

Sunday morning we woke up to a FOOT OF SNOW... and he could NOT have been happier

Gals and I cleaned up, hung out and started watching the Puppy Bowl... and you can see who ELSE was interested.... until it was time for.....

THAT was fast... Last Driver's Ed and they BOTH passed their written test with FLYING colors! They even did a kahoot as a review before the test and Minnie WON out of everyone in the class! :) Now she just needs her 10 hours of driving with the instructor and she'll be "Driving Miss Daisy".... 

Yikes! :)

All the Bball

With an impending storm headed our way it was ALL the basketball....

On Tuesday after Minnie had practice we had to head to San-fid to watch them play Gorham. The loser of that game is who we play first round of the playoffs. I made a quick appetizer of burrata for Miss B, Husband and I (and I packed some for Minnie) YUM!

I ran right over and snagged a quick pic so we could send it to our group chat :)

Fun watching her girl! #15

Boxing out like a boss! Unfortunately they lost so it looks like us vs. them next week...

On Wednesday they came to OUR house....

I loved this so much!!! 

HTED sent me the same pic from HER side of the bleachers

They both played great and it was fun to watch

This girl has NO IDEA what to do with an inside sport that is as BUCK WILD.... :)

So lucky to have this girl at a soccer game and then her sister at a bball game! She was FUN to sit with!!
