The Eighth Grade Girls’ Choir kicked off the basketball games (and “white-out event) by singing The National Anthem. They sang a cappella and did a fantastic job!!
In case you’re wondering…white-out is when they fill the stands with everyone wearing white. And check out Allison’s lovely display of blue and white school spirit plastered across her face. Only a teenager could pull off that look!
The only thing worse than going to bed hoping for expecting a snow day and then not getting “the call,” is waking up to find out that your husband, who teaches in a different school district, is getting a snow day and you’re not.
I laid in bed, watching the news ticker display every school closing in the area (except mine) with profound displeasure. Finally, at 6:00, I decided to give in to the unfair hand I’d been dealt and get in the shower.
And at that exact moment, I heard the most beautiful sound in the world…the phone ringing to announce that our school was closed as well! Yippee!! Just in the nick of time…I mean who wants to waste a perfectly good lazy day by starting off with a shower?
It’s a beautiful snow. Wet and heavy on the branches. The streets aren’t bad, but more snow is expected throughout the day. I will enjoy the beauty from inside my house. Curled up in my chair, reading.
Jeremy hosts a monthly poker game with a group of friends and family members. It’s pretty much the equivalent of Bunco, as far as “gambling” goes.
This summer, Jeremy decided to build a poker table, which was a huge undertaking. But as usual, his efforts impressed even me. Who knew how handy he actually was!!!
Funny story…during the building process, Jeremy needed to borrow some tools from my grandma’s shed. And because he didn’t want to possibly offend her by letting her know he was building a poker table, he told her he was building a table. So she was very curious about this piece of furniture he was building. My mom spilled the beans. And Grandma wasn’t even offended.
See, he’s handy and considerate!
Delaney was checking out the table prior to the weekend game.
No worries, no actual gambling took place while taking these pictures!
Well, that might actually be pushing it. But, Delaney and Hayden are beginning to interact a little more. I wouldn’t say they seek each other out, but they don’t mind the other playing nearby. Hopefully, as they get older, they’ll learn to develop a deep appreciation for having a cousin so close in age.
The two cousins enjoyed coloring together. And Delaney even shared “her” crayons with Hayden! Sharing is something she’s going to have to learn how to do.
Hayden was not a willing participant in sledding.
Delaney was a semi-cooperative participant in sledding.
