Last weekend we went up to the Bass Pro Shop and the BIG outlet mall. I wanted to see what it was all about. To be honest, I'm not sure I'll go back again. Here the boys are at the fish feeding. (**"YAWN***)
We stopped by the
Nascar Theme Park....a Midwesterner would refer to it as an ARCADE! They boys loved it...but even Erik ranked it LAME!
Bubba LOVES race cars!
Lefty waiting to be dropped off at his school on Monday looking cute as ever!
Cast comes off on Wed. for an x-ray! Let's hope it's healed!
Guess who cleaned out her car?
I hate to admit...but this is only after 5 days!
Last week Erik was gone for the whole week in California. Of COURSE they had Tornado watches and Thunderstorm Warnings out his second night gone. We had a "Popcorn Party" to try to keep the kids minds off of it. Curtis was WAY into the storm and pulled up a chair to the window to watch. Lefty kept yelling at him in panic mode, "CURTIS YOU ARE GETTING WAY TOO CLOSE FOR COMPANY TO THAT WINDOW!" I LOVED it!
Bubba didn't get the memo that when Daddy is gone AND it's a Monday night, Mommy wants to just SIT on the sofa and watch the Bachelor! He was SO scared of the storm that he just kept getting up! So, He laid on my chest and fell asleep right before the final rose ceremony! He missed the BEST part!
Last week of course also had to be the ONE week a year where basketball and baseball over-lap. Which equaled lots of driving for me! Here the boys are heading to their first practices. Curtis was SO excited that his team name was the "Twins!"
Bubba got to sit in the car more than usual, and had to create his own fun !
One night we used our free coupons and stopped by our FAVORITE cupcake place! Curtis got mint chocolate chip, I got
Smore, and the other two boys got Vanilla! YUMMO!
Bubba REALLY enjoyed his....
Until it was "BROKEN" and he wanted me to "FIX IT!"
When one kid has practice, the others play in the dirt or diamond dry mix they have between all the fields.
Thank goodness they LOVE it and it keeps them entertained the whole time!
One day last week, Johnny was at school, and Curtis was asked on a play date after school. I was able to do something with JUST
Bubba ! This has RARELY happens... so off we went to Build-A-Bear!
He named his new bear "Star Wars."
And was SO proud of it!
Peek....
A BOO!
Before Erik left, he made a trip to Costco. I know some of you have been dying for a BIG trip like this to be posted! He got 800 dinner napkins, 304 zip lock bags, 200 Bic pens, 3 HUGE rolls of foil....
20 rolls of paper towels, 4 gallons of juice....
20 boxes of Kleenex and MUCH more! Who doesn't love it when Erik does the shopping? You don't hear me complaining! ( I just didn't know I needed 200 pens...but apparently Erik can NEVER find a pen when he needs one!)
I am LOVING all the blooming trees here! MOST beautiful place I've ever seen during the spring! More so than Holland. The white and pink Cherry Trees are AMAZING and are lining all the roads! Wish I could take more pics, but I'm always the one driving!
We had lunch on Friday with Curtis at school.
Bubba thinks that if he turns around in his chair to eat his cookie...I won't notice! (Take note of the FULL tray of food in front of him!)
Loved the sign hanging in the lunch room!
Isn't it the TRUTH?
Thought this was a picture worth taking.
The car on the right is visitor parking, and the car on the left is the "Teacher of the Year's" car!
This weekend brought more baseball bright and early...
Followed by our last bball game of the year!
Was a fun team to coach and for Curtis to play on!
I'm looking forward to this spring...some visitors and a spring break trip to Florida planned to meet my BFF Lynne and her family! Should be fun!
I got to go to six games this past weekend. I saw Duke and UNC play two times, Michigan, Tennessee, etc. Sunday, our day ended with the Duke and seeing their coach win his 900th game! What a GREAT weekend in NC!
