After a snowday and a "cold"-day off of school last Thursday and Friday
this morning came much too soon...
I would like to buy another snowday please.
The cold,
not so much...
brr-rr-rrr...

What have we been up to?
Saturday:
was Jared's last session of ODP (for winter)
instead of being in Little Rock,
which frankly is a trek all by itself,
it was in Fort Smith.
Like 4 and a half hours away,
minus stops...
and you can ask Colin,
I'm worse than the boys with "stops"...
:)
So we got up at 6:30am on Saturday morning...
and got home around midnight:30....
Whew.
I of course forgot my camera.
(Shocking...I know)

Had I remembered it,
I would have taken photos of:

*Jared playing. He looked great. Of course just about every time he had a nice assist, or tackle the coaches that were rating the boys were looking at the other field.
Go figure.
I'll have to take some flip footage of him playing this spring...
I know you're suppose to think your kid is good, but he is a really good player...I swear to it.

*Our umpteen trips to Starbucks...
including Jared's new love affair with shaken black iced tea lemonades...
I've created a monster.
He had 3. I guess there is no question why he didn't sleep in the car on the way home, eh?

*The littles with their blankets and coats over their heads to block the glare on the gamesboys in the car...

*The littles shooting on the rebounder in the gym...

*Jack laying on the indoor turf playing gameboy...oblivious to all around him.

*Jared wearing his sweats, hanging past his butt of course, sanuks, shorts, tshirt, and hoodie.
He was a hot mess...(did I mention it was coooooold)

*lunch at Panera (I miss Panera)

*Our brief potty stop at HobbyLobby...."MOM! No looking at stuff!!!"

*dinner at Arbys (I miss Arbys)

*probably my new boots...because they're so cute.

Yesterday:
was a lazy Sunday...
Well, not completely lazy...we un-Christmased the house.
Which is way less fun than Christmasing it.
Now it feels like we have way less "stuff" around us...which is kind of nice.
and
We watched football, and a movie.
low. key.

Today:
Monday. I'm cleaning. So exciting...
Jared has soccer.
Coley has a dentist appointment...
and I'm making baked potato soup for dinner.
yum.

That's all I've got today...
