Birthday Week!

It was birthday week! On Monday we had pizza and bowling with Scott's work. The kids had a blast bowling and the pizza was good. The only problem was it was kind of late and we had to bolt earlier than the kids wanted to because they still had time left on their video game cards. I lost an hour of work with the time change so I was getting up at 3:45 every morning last week and trying to get in bed around 8:30 ish. It was really hard and didn't really work out. Getting up at 3:45 is not as hard as trying to get in bed by 8:30. I need a little bit of down time after my kids go to bed before I have to go to bed. This week I will be getting up at 4:15 and see if that's more manageable. I will try to go to bed by 9:15. We will see how it goes.

My birthday was a chill day which was nice! I had a b-ball game that night and we won! I came home and Scott made stir fry for dinner and then I pretty much went to bed after some cake. We had another game on Thursday and it was a closer game. It was looking dicey there for a minute but my girls pulled it together for another win. Coach Moss didn't sit by me and I did my thing and afterwards she had lots of things to tell me. I was telling Scott that she is sucking the joy out of this for me a little bit. I do want to get better as a coach but I think it's a balance and I also want to do my own dang thing! Anyway we will see how this week goes. I think we will be playing harder teams and I'm sure Coach Moss will have a number of suggestions for me! Ha. 

On Friday I went to lunch with a group of friends for my birthday and it was fun to catch up with them. I scheduled myself for a bunch of work this weekend. I'm not sure what I was thinking. Ha. I had another friend take me out to lunch yesterday for my birthday as well. I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving break. It will be here in a snap.

Bowling

My friend gave this for my birthday. A giant bowl (I've always wanted one that big, the only way it would be better is if it had a lid), and popcorn and M&M's. Perfect!

Scott and the kids were able to come and watch part of my game. I told Scott and the girls to get on their "dance clothes" which to Scott meant dance recital clothes. Ha. Not what I was meaning.

B-ball game.

Ryan got himself dressed and ready only to discover there was no preschool that day. He was SO sad.

Our stray cat has been MIA for awhile and was back yesterday for a bit. Gabby was so happy.

Finally! I had my last day of work for Dada. I'm so happy to be done.

Scott's work had a photo contest for next years work calendar. One of his photos won out of about 250 entries. It's a picture he took at my parents house on their farm. Cool! 

Old pic from Scott's phone with Gabby playing with Colie and Rustin's chicken. She LOVES animals.
