1/29 - we were pretty lazy in the morning, but had a busy day planned. We had lunch with Greg's aunt and uncle and cousins. Then we took cousins back to the house. Kasey and cousin Macey played the whole time, Landon walked the dog, practiced piano and played on his ipad, and the adults enjoyed some wine and hanging out.
Late afternoon, Greg and kids took family to Cosco for some shopping and had dinner. I headed out for girls night which is always fun at a new place called sixty vines.
1/28 - we had a busy day. We had baseball in the morning. Unfortunately the team lost but they played hard. One of the kids hit his head on the floor pretty hard. We lunch at Elkes', delivered some cookies, worked on Landon's pinewood derby car. Then Landon has soccer game. Unfortunately soccer team lost 4 to 3, but kids played hard as usual.
We had some family in town on Greg's side, but Greg and I felt like we needed a few hours to us. The kids went to Grandma and Pops and family to hang out and have dinner as we went to hang out at a place called Texas for a few drinks and dinner.
1/26 - Landon had an indoor soccer game. Greg was at the cub scout pack meeting, Kasey was at home with a sitter, I was at soccer game with Grammy and Gramps. Landon scored a goal on a rebound shot.
1/22 - Unfortunately we didn't sell to many cookies this weekend. We did have a 1/2 day journey in a day that 10 of the girls did. We have an action part left but they were able to get through most of it which is great!
After that we went to Mi Cocina for dinner and wrapped up the weekend!
1/21 - I went to work out this morning because I missed a day this week. We had a shorter but tough work out. I came home to get ready. We sent Landon out to walk the dog to get some energy out. I got a shower and got ready and we headed to Elke's for lunch.
After lunch we went to get some cookies, Greg checked in at pinewood derby workshop and we headed to basketball game. We won the game but it was close. Landon played hard, and we were proud of him. The whole team played hard.
After that Greg went back to the workshop, we cleaned house, the kids took showers, and got ready for friends to come over. Both kids had a friend spending the night. Apparently it was a cheat day for me. We went to have pizza - I had salad and 2 pizza rolls. Then we went for ice cream. Then we came back. The kids all wanted to play a game they like to play together and there was a new TV show on they all wanted to watch. Kind of fun to see them all interested in something together.
1/16 - Today was MLK day - I decided to take the day off since the kids were off. I got up to work out early so we could start the day. Kasey was already having a day trying to get out of the house to deliver some cookies to friends and at work. We walked around got to see a few friends at work, had a drink from starbucks at
the office. Kasey even drew on my board (girl scout cookies) and made a sign for my wall.
Then we headed back to get Landon for lunch. More drama between the kids - we ended up at Panera where Kasey said I got the wrong salad (which ended up fine). After that we went to Target for a few things then headed home to hang out for the afternoon. I worked on cookie stuff and kids watched TV for a while.
We went to early dinner at Roman Cucina which is always good.
Landon had a soccer game but I stayed home with Kasey since she really needed to get some sleep. They tied 1 to 1 and Landon had a pretty good shot on goal.
1/14 - Landon staying up late I forgot to turn his alarm off which was very unfortunate. At any rate, we got up, had some motivation issues from young people but got out the door for basketball game (boys lost :-() Kasey sold a few boxes of cookies at the game. We went to lunch at Elke's with Grammy and Gramps. Kasey sold a few more boxes of cookies there. Then Greg headed to pinewood derby workshop, Landon took the dog for a walk for almost an hour, and Kasey and I took the cart and went to sell girl scout cookies. We did pretty well on our street, but then Kasey wanted to head home.
1/13 - Today started cookie season for girl scouts. I worked from home in the morning. Greg and I went to pick up our cookies then went to have lunch at a small Mediterranean place in Allen that we had not tried before. It was pretty good. Then we organized the cookies and I headed to the office to deliver cookies in the rain and have meetings in the afternoon.
I came home a little early and we met the Cracknells at Mi Cocina for dinner. After dinner Stephanie and I took 4 boys to a Pokemon tournament in Lewisville. We weren't sure what to expect. It was a free event for several people to play pokemon and trade cards - and there was a store next door to buy stuff. There were 2 younger kids like the boys age (one being the owners' son). One of the boys sat down to play with the owners son while the other boys went shopping. The other boys mainly watched and traded cards with some of the guys there. At any rate, on the way back Landon says maybe we can do this every other Friday. Not that late, but it was a good experience for them and they seemed to enjoy it.
1/8 - We had our cookie meeting with girl scouts. It's fun watching the girls learn about cookies, doing math with money, getting people to donate for troop to troop boxes. Good times.
1/7 - We got up the morning and Kasey had UIL competition for Story Telling. We had not picked out her outfit the night before. We had to leave the house before 8 so when we started arguing over clothes because she didn't want to wear any of the choices. We almost emailed her coach saying that she wasn't going, but she got dressed and we left. We checked in and I went to sit in the bleachers and Kasey was taken to where all the students were. Several of the moms got to chat while our kiddos competed. Kasey did not make it to the finals but thought she did well and we are proud of her for trying.
Landon had a basketball game overlapping but we got there for about 1/2 of it. They lost but played hard.
1/6 - Kasey got Knight of the week!
