2/24 - We had a lazy morning. I made Cheese eggs which the kids love
(I remember loving it when my mom made cheese eggs) and muffins. We
had a relaxing morning. In the afternoon Landon had soccer practice and
baseball practice back to back. Luckily it was a nice day. Kasey got
to play with Katelyn at the park during soccer and played some with
Reese at baseball practice. Of course Kasey had to go potty so I drove
her home real quick. While I was gone Landon hit a home run.
After practice, Grandma and Pops brought over Cheesecake factory
for dinner. I had ordered it ahead of time and they thought we wanted
it 9:15pm so they had to wait for a while. It was a good dinner though.
2/23 - I got up to do Zumba, of course the kids had gone to bed 30
minutes late and woke up before 7. Which causes drama every time.
Landon
had basketball. He got a 2-3 baskets, and played good defense and
overall. We had to go right after, but coach gave Landon a white star
which is the highest star for playing like Jesus would play. Coach told
Landon that he was the leader of the team and did a good job. I was
proud.
We went straight to a birthday party where boys played soccer. Last 5 minutes we played parents vs kids. We called it a tie.
After
the party we went shoe shopping - Landon needed new tennis shoes and
had grown a full shoe size. Landon found some light up star wars shoes
- I told him that Greg would kill me if I got them. Landon asked if
he would really kill me. I said no it's just an expression. Landon
said so it would be like if it was almost girls night he wouldn't let
you go. I said yea something like that.
Kids got Gatorade form the party and wanted some. I said they
couldn't have any more today because they had had to much sugar. I told
Landon he could take his to practice tomorrow. Kasey asked if she
could take hers. I said are you going to run laps? She said no, I'm
going to sit there and drink it.
Kasey helped me do dishes. She told me she is very good and helping with dishes
I
had a few friends over for drinks to hang out. We ended up watching
Burlesque and talking. Marisa made some yummy brownies too that we each
had more than one :)
2/21 - My first day with Greg gone. I had stayed up til 1:15am
working and getting stuff ready for the next day. I still got up in
time to do a 30 minute work out, get both kids to school in time with
Landon's lunch and Kasey's snacks for the whole class (Greg had prepared
everything I just had to take them). I even got to work in time for
my first meeting.
They were talking about being Green at school and they had a raffle to win a bike - Landon won it. Pretty cool.
We
went to Grammy and Gramps for dinner. We had fajitas and margaritas
which were good. Had fun. Gramps even made me a margarita to bring
home, it was national margarita day after all.
I did some work and then watched a girly movie with my margarita
2/20
- Landon went to the dentist today. He had his other front bottom
adult tooth coming in behind his baby teeth. The dentist said that that
baby tooth wasn't coming out and it should be removed. He had his 2nd
tooth pulled. They said that his top teeth are coming in well and
should hopefully not come in behind the baby teeth.
Kasey was getting ready for bed washing her hands and she said
something about peanuts. I looked at her and she said - I said peanuts
not penis. I tried really hard not to laugh at that one, I didn't do
very well.
2/19 - Landon and I got to go to science night at his school. We got
to see baby chicks moving in eggs, a hawk that is blind in one eye,
beautiful owl, learn about bio fuel and how to make ethonol. It was
pretty cool, and Landon had a good time.
Landon told me that liked math and science. He thinks he's good at
math and ok at science. He said I was good at math and science. Fun
to have those kind of discussions.
2/17 - Since kids were at
grandparents Greg and I slept in a little and decided to go to breakfast
just the two of us. We went to a little crepe place right by the house
and had chirizo and egg crepe, french toast with berries, and hot
chocolate. We got to sit by the window which overlooked the grass and
water area of Watters Creek which was really nice.
We went to pick up the kids and played a US states game with Grammy.
We came back home for a while. Greg and Landon had soccer practice at
2:30 and so Kasey and I went to see Cinderella in the theater which was
fun. Then Greg brought Landon up and we saw Peter Pan in the theater
which was also fun.
We had dinner when we got home, and then got the kids to bed. They were pretty tired.
2/16
- Landon had basketball. Colin was sick so the game was different.
Landon scored 3 baskets, and played some good defense. They played a
good team so it was tough, but I thought he did pretty well.
We had lunch at Elkas, and then we had to pick up cans for Scouts
for food (collecting non perishables for the community). Then we went
to order Landon's baseball uniform. He is playing on the volcanoes.
Then we headed back to the house for a little while to pack kids up and
hang out. Grammy came over and Kasey, Grammy and I went to Envy nails
for manicure and pedicures for Grammy's birthday. Always fun for some
pampering.
Greg and Landon played a little baseball, and then went for a bike ride.
When
we got done Grammy took the kids to her house for dinner and to spend
the night. Greg and I went to Houstons for dinner which was great, and
then we went to see Die Hard (which I slept through most of it).
2/14 - We had fun Valentines. Kasey got to pick new pets with both
grandparents for her and Landon. Kids enjoyed them. Greg and I got to
go to Landon's Valentines party at school. We were in charge of games
which is always interesting with 19 first graders. Kids had fun. I did
notice this year that I think pinterest is wearing off on many people -
most valentines are not simple ones anymore.
I had to work in afternoon, and then we had heart shaped Pizza that
Grandma had bought us. We also got to have some Frank Family wine for
dinner - that was our Valentine. Greg made us strawberry and raspberry
shortcake.
Greg gave me Reeses Peanut Butter cups for Valentines and some older movies that I really wanted to see.
2/10
- Kids were a little restless. We went to lunch at Village Burger Bar,
and then Landon and Greg went on bike ride to the school. I walked
while Kasey rode her bike as well. She rides her bike slow, but I
guess that's better than her being fast and reckless.
Landon and Greg saw a few friend and ended up playing some baseball.
Kasey and I watched the boys and then we all headed back home.
2/9 - We often have busy days, but I think this one was one of the busiest.
Kasey came in at 7:20 and declared she was all better and felt
fine. She was jumping off the walls. I went to 8:15 aerobics to try
the new teacher out. She was ok. She doesn't do step which I was
really sad about. She did a bar, kick boxing and agility which was a
good workout, but not my favorite. She seems willing to try different
things for the class so we'll see.
Then came home for quick get ready and headed to Landon's basketball
game. Landon played a good game. He took the ball away several times
on defense, got several rebounds, and scored 3-4 baskets as well.
Then I headed to Plano Senior High school for a summer camp expo for gifted and talented and special needs kids.
Headed
home for a quick lunch. Then Landon and Greg headed out to put
donation bags in the neighborhood for cub scounts. At 2 we were all at
Elementary school near by for the Cub Scout Pinewood derby. Landon's
car looked really cool. He made an A&M football field with aTm in
the end zones, a field goal, and a 2 on the end. His car wasn't the
fastest so didn't win, but he did get an art medal so he was very
excited about it. It was fun for all of us. All the sisters were lined
up to watch the race which was cute.
We came home for a few hours, and then Landon and I got ready for
our Western mother/son dance. I wore my awesome cowboy hat made by
Cassandra MacGregor of House of MacGregor. Other than that we basically
wore button down shirts and jeans, but it worked. We met several moms
and boys for dinner at 5th Street Pizza which was pretty simple and
fast. Then we headed to the dance. We got a few cute pictures and then
headed in to dance. Landon really wasn't sure and wasn't having to much
fun, but after a while and after a cookie he started having a good
time. As we were leaving he said that was a blast. The moms had a
great time dancing and singing. We did the cotton eyed joe yelling
Allen Eagles instead of the normal, which made me laugh. We sang some
Journey, Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, etc. It was funny how all the
moms knew most of the words.
We got home and Greg and I relaxed with a beer just hanging out
2/8
- Boys had pinewood derby checkin tonight that I worked at. It was
interesting seeing all the cars and how some did it for fun and some
were really serious about it.
Kasey stayed home from school and swim, she got sick some but
fever went away for the most part. She just didn't feel well and didn't
want to eat.
Landon got Knight of the week this week. We are really proud of him
2/7 - Kasey wasn't feeling well at Grammys. She had low grade fever and didn't want to eat. Other than that she was ok.
2/3
- We celebrated Grammy's birthday by going to Bonnie Ruths for Brunch -
yum. We were all stuffed though. They came back to the house for a
little bit and of course kids wanted to show Grammy their rooms, and
doll house, and pinewood derby car, and playing football outside. We
had fun.
The boys worked on pinewood derby car in the afternoon. Kasey and I played games and hung out.
Then
we all went to the park to meet the Kearns for baseball practice. The
girls did a little tball hitting, and the boys practiced fielding and
hitting. The girls wanted to spend some time on the playground as well.
I ran to market street to get food for dinner and to Sonic for
special drinks for the kids. We all watched the first 1/2 of game then
kids had to shower and get in bed at half time.
2/2 - I went to
aerobics since Landon had a 10am game. It was the last class for my
teacher Amy who I've been taking Saturday classes from since 2000. Sad
to see her leaving, but I understand. Hopefully she'll come work out
with us some.
I made it just in time for Landon's basketball game. Our guys
played a tougher team so there weren't as many baskets from our guys.
Landon did play good defense, point and passed more to teammates.
You
could tell a difference when they didn't get that 5-10 minute practice
before the game.
Greg, Doug, Landon, Mason and Gary went to the Texas vs the Nation college football game. I guess it wasn't a great game.
Kasey
and I ran a few errands (which she didn't want to do), then we played
the princess game. My back was hurting from morning workout so Kasey
gave me a back rub and we laid down to take a short nap (or so we said).
Then Kasey was playing with my hair saying she was curling it.
2/1 - I put the kids to bed in my pajamas which I never do. They
asked why I was in pajamas, I said why not. I got a glass of wine and
watched a chick flick.
