Moms vs. The Boys

Mace and Jake had their last basketball practice yesterday. The coach thought it would be a fun idea to let the boys scrimmage against their moms! We had a good time (even though I didn't score a single point and fouled Jake twice!). The boys thought it was pretty funny and I think Chad had a good laugh, too.

Happy Valentine's Day

This year, since I'm unemployed, I volunteered to bring Valentine Treats to the boys' class during lunch. It was quite interesting to see school from a parent's point of view. . .I had to watch myself. . .I almost corrected a few of the other kids!!!

Picnic in the Park

After over a week of battling the flu, we finally ventured outside the house. Sunday was a GORGEOUS day, so we packed a picnic lunch and headed to the park. The kids were so glad to finally be outdoors---they really enjoyed themselves. They spent the afternoon feeding ducks, playing football, sliding and climbing.
It was just one of those 'perfect' days, and I was extremely grateful for it!

Three Little Germs

The doctor confirmed yesterday that ALL THREE of my babies have the FLU! It's been a pretty pathetic sight around here, but I think we are near the end. Hopefully, we will be able to get out of the house soon--they are starting to drive me NUTS!!

Bringing The BAYOU to The WOODLANDS

On SuperBowl Sunday, we decided to boil some crawfish for a few people (Chad's coworker & kids and some girls I met at the club). Most were completely disgusted by the crawfish, but some actually tried it. Chad made the batch SUPER mild but still their eyes were watering--too funny! The boys' friend from a few houses down (he's originally from CANADA) tried the crawfish and LOVED them! He said it was 'better than beaver tail with cinnamon'! I guess every region has their own digusting edible creatures!!!
