2/28 - We slept in some, then when we were all taking showers the fun began. Landon't toilet overflowed while he was in the shower. There was about 1/2 to 3/4 inches of water in his bathroom, going onto carpet outside of his bathroom and it was coming from the ceiling in my closet and 1/2 bath. It was a mess. We had every towel in the house out, turning water off, etc.
We cleaned up for a while, Greg and kids got some big fans from Grandma and Pops. We both spent some time with steam vac trying to get water up. That afternoon Landon had soccer practice. After we tried to get him in cub scout uniform to see Weeblos II cross over. We got there right as they finished. Greg came home and we had early dinner watching Clue movie before football game.
Tonights Titan football game was different. The boys ended up winning 27 to 7. Landon pulled 2 flags, he caught an extra point and blocked at least 1 pass for the other team. He played some on offense and defense. The boys had fun tonight
2/27 - We got up and Landon spend some good time on his Alamo project. He basically finished it with flags, labels and roof on the cathedral. Overall I think he did a great job.
We went to lunch and then got ready for Landon's football game. The boys played hard, but got beat pretty bad. Landon's feet were hurting but he played offense most of the game.
After the game we came home so boys could change quick. Then we headed to Plano to meet the Dowdy's for dinner on Patio at Katy Trail Outpost. We had a good time chatting, eating and having a few drinks. The kids ran around and got to eat as well. Landon even said he had a ton of fun which he doesn't say to often :)
2/26 - I came home a bit early so I could buy teacher books at the book fair. Only a few teachers had their requests but we got some books. We had our last girl scout cookie booth from 4-6pm. The girls had a tough time getting through 2 hours but we made it with some snacks. Over the weekend we ended up selling or trading the rest of our cookies to other troops. Overall the girls did well.
After that Kasey and I went to get a table at Mi Cocina for dinner. The boys came to join us after first baseball practice. Then we went home to get kids to bed.
2/22 - Landon's basketball team Warhawks had a game at middle school. They played a really tough game, but ended up losing by 3 points. The boys played hard. Coach Ken had a board meeting so Greg had to coach. He did a good job.
2/21 - We worked some more on project, ate later breakfast. We went to freebirds late for lunch since Landon had his first flag football game at 4. The Titans played in Murphy. Unfortunately they lost. Landon pulled 2 flags during the game. He said he wanted to play defense more than office. He played some of both.
We went to Grimaldi's for dinner on the way home. Then we went to Paciugo for some dessert.
2/20 - We had a pretty busy day. Landon had a basketball playoff game. The boys played hard, played 2 overtimes but ended up losing. So close. They still had at least 1 more game to play in the tournament. After the game we went to have some cheesesteaks. We were going to go with all the grandparents but Greg wasn't to happy after the game. We spent a good bit of the afternoon working on Landon's Alamo project. He got several walls up on the compound so it was coming along
that night we had a girl scout event. It was world thinking day. Several troops set up booths to represent different countries like Germany, France, Italy, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Japan etc. At each booth they had info about the country, info about girl guides/girl scouts in that country, they had a stamp for passports, a swap for each girl and a snack from that country. The girls had fun and hopefully learned a few things. I asked several of the girls what was the most interesting thing they learned about the country. One girl told me it was interesting that one of European countries called soccer football. I informed her that the rest of the world calls it football and US is the only country that calls it soccer. Overall it was fun. We will see if the girls want to make a booth next year.
Greg and Landon went to dinner and to see Kung Fu Panda 3. After the movie they came home with Braums, but somehow I didn't get any :-(
2/19 - The 4th grade boys decided they didn't want to go to the mother son dance this year. So a few of us decided to do a mother son night. We went bowling at splitzville and had dinner. We had our own two lanes and had a good time. Landon got red pin at top a few times but didn't get a strike (if they see it and you get a strike you get a free game). There were 14 of us so we only got to play 1 game, but it was fun. Moms got to visit and have a few drinks, and boys hung out. We had fun all cheering for each other.
Greg had taken Kasey to Mi Cocina and Paciugo. So fun night for all
2/18 - Kind of a weird day. It started out with one of school teachers giving Greg and heads up that Kasey shouldn't hang out with another child in her class. Then Greg gets a call from the school saying that someone spit in Kasey's face. Greg went to have lunch with her and she seemed ok. She's only in first grade, it will be interesting as she gets older
2/15 - I slept on the couch in case Greg was really sick. Kids and I had to go get more paint and get donuts for breakfast. I took the day off since kids were off school. good thing I did since Greg wasn't feeling great. He was better in the morning but not 100%.
Kasey started wearing a bra today. She doesn't totally need one, but in a few shirts it doesn't hurt. She's been asking for a little while about this so when shopping for Valentines dresses we bought a few. She's very excited to wear them. We'll see how it goes. I hadn't really told Greg yet, wasn't sure he was ready for the news
Kasey told me I needed to tell Daddy so that night I told him. He still wasn't feeling great and when I told him he said his chest was starting to tighten. He'll be ok. Kids are growing up fast.
2/14 - Greg and I tried sleeping in some. Kasey was up making us a valentine book and card. By the time we got up and going it was a little late for breakfast. Landon came home around 9:30 and by the time we got ready it was time for lunch. We ended up going to Uncle Julios and kids got lunch but Greg and I got brunch items. We spent time working on Landon's Alamo project (including some tears, some frustration, and later some reasoning). Kasey and I watched some of Grease while the boys went to football and soccer practice. Then some more Alamo. Greg started feeling sick and ended up getting sick most of the evening. We assume food poisoning. We spent more time on Landon's project and he got to play some of his new Lego Avengers game while paint was drying and Kasey had already gone to bed.
2/13 - We got up and had cookie booth sale for Daisy Scouts. The girls did well and sole 91 boxes of cookies. Got to hear from Grammy to say hi on her birthday. After cookie sale we went to Elke's for lunch. It was Elke's birthday so her special was a chicken schnitzel sandwich. All 4 of us got it and it was really good. After lunch we came home to work on Landon's Alamo project. We cut out a lot of cardboard for walls, then got paint for the walls and ground.
Then we went to Landon's basketball game. The boys won, but it was a tough game. Fun to watch. After the game Landon went home with Colin to spend the night. We took Kasey out to dinner. Things close to home were pretty full and long waits. We headed to Pan Vino. We ate on the patio even though it was a bit chilly outside. We had a good dinner and got to spend some time with just Kasey.
2/12 - Greg and I decided to celebrate Valentines a little early. We decided to go have some Surf and Turf at Del Friscos. We decided to Uber there. We were a few minutes late, but when we got there they sat us at the same table we got engaged at. We joked that when they move to their new location that we wanted to buy the table. We had a good meal, good wine and some laughs. We finished up getting an after dinner drink and going to sit at the piano. We enjoyed some music. He played some Pink Floyd for Greg and we enjoyed the music. We took Uber home. Fun Valentine's night
2/7 - Greg and I tried to sleep in even though the kids were up at 7. We let them play some Xbox and watch 1 short show while eating breakfast. Then we had to get busy. Landon had school projects, we had to clean for housekeepers, and at least the adults needed a shower. We got through piano practice and school projects in time to head to lunch. We decided on burgers. The kids colored their own burgers while we waited. After that Landon and Greg had to pass out food for scouts flyers, go to football and soccer practice. Kasey and i cleaned up, finished her valentines, went to Target to get teacher valentines. We also picked up Pappa Murphy's pizza with Pepperoni in the shape of a football. We came home cleaned up some more. The boys got home. Kasey and I went to get some more cookies and deliver them.
Kids got showers, I did newsletter, Greg cooked pizza and then we were ready for for Super Bowl 50. Somehow we were all on our electroinics during the game, but it was still fun. Patch was even watching with us. It was nice to chill out after a long weekend.
2/6 - What a day! We got up and got ready and headed out to the Girl Scout Pinewood Derby. We left a little early so we went to our favorite donut shop to get some hot chocolate and tea. Then we headed to check Kasey in. 4 girls from my troop were competing. For girl scout pinewood derby they have wooden track that they borrow from a cub scout pack (happens to be from pack that my friend from work is in). The way they run is 2 cars at time. They have a sensor that determines the winner, then 2 dads are at the end and mark who was the winner and who was the loser. A car has to lose 3 times to be disqualified. Kasey lost 1 race and then won several others. She ended up winning the Daisy category in first place. One of my other girls Laney got 3rd place in Daisies. That meant that both of them would be in the final competition from all ages. We stayed around. Kasey and a few of the other kids got to hang out with one of the older girls which helped move the time. It was a little while. Greg had to take Landon to basketball game and left him with Grandparents. He decided to come back to see the final competition. It was first, 2nd and 3rd for Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and older girls. They started competition. Kasey lost her first race, and we figured that some of the cars might be faster. They didn't have times so we didn't really know. After Kasey's first race one of her wheels also came off. We just put it back on. Then after that she didn't lose a race and ended up winning the whole girl scout pinewood derby. Go Kasey. She was so excited and smiling from ear to ear. Greg got to see her win then had to run to get to setup of cubscout pinewood derby.
After pictures we had to head out. It was 1/2 time of Landons basketball game and they were winning. Kasey was so excited and told the Grandparents that she won it all. It was fun to watch basketball game. The boys were winning and having fun playing. I think Landon played a good game and got to play a few different positions. Go Warhawks.
After basketball Pops took Landon to Cub Scout pinewood derby and Kasey and I went to get lunch for all 4 of us. At cub scout pinewood derby it's a whole different world. They have a metal track. They also have sensors that determine first, second and 3rd and record time to at least hundredth of a second. Winning is really based on time. Cub Scouts has a great group of parents helping. The races were fun. The races were very close - some withing hundredths of seconds. Landon got 3rd place in all Weeblos (I and II) and then he got 3rd place for overall pack. It was really close. At the end Landon and Mike figured out that they were 2nd and 3rd place they hugged each other and jumped up and down. It was cute! Landon has decided that next year his goal is to beat Mike :) The first place guy will be gone next year and Landon has gotten 3rd place overall for 2 years now :)
After all that we came home, practiced piano, Kasey had bit of melt down for being tired. We chilled out a bit. Doug came over to pick up Greg, and we watched the end of the A&M basketball game - they lost. Greg and Doug went to Stars game (they lost too). The kids and I went to dinner with Grammy and Gramps to celebrate their 50th anniversary. We went to BJs which is a hit. We had good drinks, good food, and fun time hanging out together. We always enjoy family time.
Definitely a good day, but was nice to get the kids to bed and relax with a glass of wine.
2/5 - I really needed to leave work early. Somehow I ended up talking to a few people on the way out and was almost late. Greg dropped Landon off with his soccer coach then headed to the school to set up and run Cub Scout pinewood derby. I took Kasey to where her pinewood derby was to weigh her car on their scale and try it out. We started out at the wrong church, but ended up in the right place. We ran Kasey's car next to one of her daisy friends and hers won. From there on out, she was pretty excited. Then Kasey and I drove to Landon's soccer game. Love the FC Knights and the families. The kids won and had a good time doing it. They got a good picture of the team. This is their last game of the season and we aren't sure we'll be able to play again as a team.
After the game we went straight to Norton so Landon and several other team members could check their cars in for Cub Scout pinewood derby.
2/1 - Kasey woke up and made me a little note that said Happy First Day of February and Happy Valentines. The back said Be my Valentine Love Kasey. So sweet.
