The Weekend...

What another busy weekend! It's a Michael weekend! My mom came up Friday and spent the weekend with us to attend Michael's activities. She got here Friday morning and started doing my ironing! Thank you---I hate to iron. Then she spent the afternoon running errands for me. Friday night she said she was a little stressed...we laughed and told her it had been a "mild" day! When we got home from school Friday we left immediately for Green Forest to go watch Michael's soccer game. It was COLD!!!! We sat huddled in blankets. We got beat pretty bad!
7-0! Michael then headed to Fayetteville to spend the night, with my friend and her son. They had quiz bowl Saturday morning and the bus was leaving school at 6:00 in the morning. So my friend decided to take the boys onto Fayetteville Friday night.


I think this is the coolest shot of Michael. Michael and Roger are NOT impressed with the picture...

Quiz Bowl: We left about 6:30 am Saturday morning to head to Fayetteville (actually Elkins) for Senior High Quiz bowl. We placed 3rd. We get to go onto State competition in Searcy April 4. Michael made the all tournament team. I don't know how many questions you have to answer to get this honor. We are proud of him. We drew a "bye" for one game, so the kids just practiced answering questions...they divided up into teams and Jacob played with them. He thought that was great. I love watching Michael's friends with Jacob....they are so good to him and cheer him on like he is one of them. Jacob answered the sports questions!

Michael and Marley. He sure does love his dog and she loves him!

Roger and I got to have "date night" Saturday night after we got home from quiz bowl. We went to the movie, while mom stayed with Jacob. We went to see"He's just not that into you"...it was pretty good. Always like going to the movie with my "honey". We usually don't get to go to the movie alone.

We tried something new tonight and it didn't work out for us. My suburban has been out of the garage ever since we have had Marley. She has been sleeping in the garage. Well today, I decided that was it....my vehicle was coming back in the garage and she was going to live in the back yard. Yeah, how is that working for us!? She was crying when we got home from our life group tonight, so I let her back into the garage. She is just a big old baby....so we will try this again later....

Have a great week everyone...we have a busy one in store for us...something going on every night this week!
