We spent the weekend in Valley Center with Craig's brother and family. The girls are in basketball. This was the next to last game of the season. They have gone undefeated. It is a lot of fun watching them play ball. After that the boys went out to Granny Annie's farm and helped clean up. They where gracious enough to take the kiddos with them. Later that afternoon Mary and I picked up some of the kids and headed into Wichita to a ski shop. The girls needed helmets and goggles. They are headed to Weston this coming weekend to learn how to snowboard. Must protect those little brains. Taylor my oldest niece has already had a run in with a tree. She ended up with a broken arm. She didn't let that stop her! Next she got right back on those ski's. Saturday night Katie's school was having a fun night. We spent a couple hours up at the school playing games. It was a lot of fun! After the crazy day we had we sat down and played a domino game I had never seen. It involves a little train gadget. It was a blast!!  Craig and Curtis got up early Sunday and went back out to Granny Annie's and worked on her tractor. They got it running but came home smelling like gas. YUK!!! Needless to say he headed to the shower and the clothes headed for the washer. We had lunch and headed home. We had been home about thirty minutes when we realized that Craig's co-ed game was about to start. We scrambled to get everything and everyone into the car and headed to the arena. Luckily his men's game was right after it. I have never been so glad to see my bed! It was a great weekend! Yet, I am so glad to be home. 

TGIF!! I am so glad this week is over. Both of the girls have been sick. Felicity missed two days of school this week. JC was nice enough to bring his sisters homework home to her so we spent the evenings after dinner getting her work done so she would not fall behind. Virginia has had this stuff for over a week. She had a really bad ear ache the other night. That was not fun! She still has the sniffles but seems to be on the tail end of it. We are going to Valley Center to spend the weekend with Craig's brother and his family. The girls have their last basketball game on Saturday and then the school is having a fun fair. It should be fun! Our neighbor girl is going to let the dog out and make sure that he doesn't eat all the cat food. He will eat anything!! Well, I suppose I should finish packing. I have done laundry all day and got the house cleaned up. I hope everyone has a good weekend!! 

Monday Night Basketball

Today was going well until the cat tipped my laptop off the couch. Now the screen is really loose. So, I will have to make an appt. at the Apple store and see what it will cost to fix it. KU basketball is on and it is against the Mizzou tigers. I may have to leave the room it has already been a crazy game and we are only six minutes into the game. I don't know if Craig will keep his cool. It was a beautiful day here. We had a rain storm move in and out. Then the rest of the day was sunny but extremely windy. I think it is so funny. They have wind advisories down here. The kids and Craig had Tae-Kwon-Do tonight. So that left Ginny and I some time together. Tomorrow we have Valentine's Day parties at the school. I am Felicity's room parent. So I have to get my stuff together for the party. I just volunteered to bring stuff to JC's classroom. I am hoping that Craig will be off so he can hang out in JC's class and help them out. Wednesday starts parent teacher conferences. I am excited to see the progression the kids have made in their studies. Well, it is getting deap in here so I think I will go do some laundry or clean our bedroom. Have a good night!

TGIF!!! It was absolutely beautiful outside today. I had all the windows open in the house. The kids had the day off so we did some cleaning. JC's room needed to have his toys gone through. It did not take us long. The kids are headed to grandma and papa's house for a sleepover. So, I am taking Craig out for dinner. We have not had a quite night for awhile. He has to work so he needs to be home early to get to bed.  He goes in on the weekend at about midnight. I have not seen a girlfriend of mine in awhile so we are going to see He is just not that in to you tonight. I guess I get to have the best of both worlds tonight. Date night and girls night. 

Saturday night was the Daddy-Daughter dance for our Girl Scout Service Unit. This picture was taken by a friend of mine who was working the dance. Felicity had a great time. She got her first pair of heels. I guess that is what happens when you let daddy take her shopping. She could talk him into anything. She loves this once a year event. Craig rolls out the red carpet. She got to have steak and one on one time with daddy. Which in this house is a rare event! The girls dance till they can't dance anymore. When  they got home I asked her how it was. Like a pro she began to tell me about the DJ and how this one was better than last years. She then told me all about who was there and the pictures. It looks like they had a great time.  The weekend was finished off with a round of soccer games. I really like the fields they have been playing at. The viewing deck and concessions sit above the fields.  I know it was Super Bowl Sunday but there was a women that had way to much to drink. She was leaning as she walked and spilling her beverage everywhere. It was comical. Yet, I worried she would try to go down stairs. Head first! Luckily whoever she had come with was only there for one game so she left as fast she came. We came home got ready for showers and everyone headed to bed. All in all a pretty great weekend!
