2/28 - Landon had first football game of the season. The boys played hard but lost. Landon pulled 5 or 6 flags, and had a good catch and run. Fun to hang out with families and watch the boys play
2/26 - We had a slow start to the day. Finally we went to have some lunch. Then we finished prep for crossover.
Kasey and I had girl scout meeting at 2. We went to Compassion experience - went through a story of boy who was basically abandoned, very poor, stuggled with school then found a way to succeed and give back to others. Then girls decided on their service project to help give shoes to people in need. Then we headed to boy scout cross over.
I had made picture collages for each boy with cub scout pictures from start to now. I had made some arrow of light cookies, and then made cupcakes with boy scout symbol on them.
We did decorations I used mason jars and put cub scout scarves on them + 1 with bobcat and 1 with arrow of light to show their journey. On top I had a glass with candle and sand colored the same color as the badge for each step.
All of the sisters are girl scout and wore their vests and greeted people at the door to give them programs.
The younger Webelos did flag ceremony. The boys were presented with their Arrow of light awards which is the highest award you can get as a cub scout. The boys were presented with Arrow of light plaques as well.
Then they had a cross over ceremony with order of arrow from their new troop 1299. It was neat to see them cross over. The adults crossed over as well.
It was a nice ceremony and we are really proud of the boys. Afterwards we all went to dinner at 5th street and enjoyed a great slideshow of the boys.
2/25 - Today was a good day for basketball and getting ready for Boy Scout Crossover. The basketball team played at noon. They played hard. Landon got a basket and played hard. They won which meant that they were going to play for 3rd place at 4:30. Of course 1/2 the boys had a soccer game at 4:30 as well. Most of the basketball team played in the 3rd place game and soccer team also played. The 4:30 game the boys played against a team that had a few friends from school on it. We had played them twice before. The first time we won, the second time they won. This time the Warhawks won. It was a very close game. Landon got a free throw and played really well on defense especially at the end of the game. The boys were really excited to win and so was coach Greg.
After the game most of us went to Braums for some celebration ice cream. Fun times with good families.
After that we went to have dinner the 4 of us at Spazo. That night a few ladies came over and helped me get cupcakes and cookies ready for boy scout cross over.
2/24 - I got to have lunch with the kids because I worked from home. That evening I had 2 girls nights. We celebrated one of the girl scout moms birthday. Then went to hang out with some girlfriends.
2/23 - I went to an Allen ISD special presentation called Celebrate Calm. Really good talk on dealing with strong willed Children. A lot of good information.
That night I went with a few ladies to Bon Jovi concert. We had a nice dinner outside at Meso Maya then walked to the concert. It was fun and good concert.
2/22 - We took Kasey back to allergist to retest some other foods to see if we can figure out what is making her sick. She's apparently allergic to vegetables that we eat often like Broccoli, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes. We'll see how it goes. We are supposed to not have those things for a month (after the cruise) and see if she gets sick any more.
2/20 - I overslept and didn't make it to the gym. I took a call in the garage since the housekeepers were at the house, then went to meet Greg and the kids at Market Street. After some discussion, we went to try and eat at a new place called El Pollo Loco. It was ok. Then the kids and I went to Main Event to do some bowling. Then kids played arcades for a while.
2/19 - We went to get Landon's suit fitted, and then went to the outlet to get him some nicer shirts, and we got kids some shoes.
2/18 - We started out the day a little slow. Then Kasey and I went to Kohls and Academy to look for bathing suits, dresses for Kasey. We met the boys at Elkes for lunch.
We headed home for a bit then went to Landon's first playoff basketball game. They unfortunately lost to team that had a few friends on it. Landon wasn't to happy.
Right after that Kasey and I went to Lovejoy elementary for World Thinking Day - the girls got to learn about, try treats and get a swap from several countries. It was pretty cool.
2/14 - Valentines Day - We gave the kids a few things. Greg and I got to have lunch together at Ali Baba. For dinner Greg made homemade spaghetti and meatballs and sauce. He even made me spaghetti squash. Greg and the kids got me flowers.
2/13 - Today is mom's birthday. We got to go to lunch together which always fun. We enjoyed some good food and talking. Fun times.
2/12 - Today was movie day. we had breakfast at home, went to see Hidden Figures in the morning, had lunch at Urban Crust in Plano, then went to see Batman Lego movie in the afternoon. Kids and I got Pei Wei for dinner.
2/11 - We had a busy day. Landon had an 8am basketball game. They lost but played hard. After that we went back to get 4runner full of cookies. We added a late booth to our schedule and Kasey and i were the only ones who could attend. We sold 188 boxes just the two of us. While we did that Greg and Landon picked up 105 donations for scouting for food. We ran around some in the afternoon and went for an early Hibachi dinner.
2/9 - I got to go to a movie with a few ladies from the neighborhood to see 50 shades darker.
2/8 - I pulled out one of Landon's teeth that had been sideways for a little while. he said it hurt and bled for a little while. For kids teeth the tooth fairy brought dollar coins. It so happens that the tooth fairy was out of the dollar coins. We decided to take the opportunity to let Landon in on "what parents do" He kind of knew, but still wants to believe which we totally support. We told him he can help us out now. He did say he wished we hadn't told him til a little later which made me sad.
2/5 - Superbowl Sunday. We went shopping to get food for the game. Kids were making pizza rolls, and I made spaghetti squash with meat, peppers and marinara sauce. We watched the first half and halftime together then got Kasey to bed. We let Landon stay up til 9 but game wasn't over, but he needed some sleep. Crazy game, great halftime, I liked the Mr Clean commercial :)
2/4 - We had a really busy but good day. We started the day with an 8am basketball game. The team played really hard, Landon got a basket, and they kept the game really close. Unfortunately they lost. We ran a few errands to get Valentines for the kids. We went home to get showers and then we went to Elke's for lunch. She was having mac and cheese chili which is a family favorite. Soon after it was time for the pinewood derby. Greg was running the whole thing and it all went off well. They started out by giving Greg an award from cub scouts. They told some about the history of the pinewood derby, read a poem and got started. They competed through the ranks. Landon won first place in Webelos. He was first in the top 12 to compete for the final across ranks. They run 3 races each car. It was really close. Landon won 1st place overall by 0.003 seconds.
We came home for a bit then had another evening basketball game. They boys played hard again and won the game. A few friends from school were on this team but we were rooting for friends and our team.
We came home, dropped Greg and Kasey and Landon and I went to Polo Tropical for dinner. Nice to get a little bit of time with just him.
