Long weekend

Here we go. One day down of a LONG weekend. The girls got out early yesterday and are out until Tuesday. Today we babysat a sweet 4 month old baby boy. So the girls were THRILLED to get to hold Henry. He is so sweet and tolerated all their woggling around.

Tomorrow we will shop for the birthday sleepovers that H and Kat are planning on attending. Kat has a scrimmage in Blue Springs tomorrow night. She said, "Cool! What is a scrimmage?" It is supposed to be 7 degrees in the am. Glad they don't have to wait for the bus in those temps. I wanted to go to Searcy to see Jess, but opted out due to a predicted ice storm on Sunday. They don't have ANY snow removal in AR at all. lol. We could have been stuck there for the rest of the semester. We also have a TON of stuff to do around here since Mark has been sick for 2 weeks. I am very READY to see Jess, but will have to wair 2 more weeks until the folks' 50 party.

Hannah and I were watching the men's skating tonight. She cracked me up BIG TIME. When the skater does a triple axel (or whatever---who can tell the jumps apart?) it really bugs her that they "swing their leg out." Then on another spin or jump, one leg is higher than the other. She is so annoyed, "why can't they just keep it straight?" She couldn't get it that the skaters use the leg to push them on the ice!!! So funny.

I'm waiting for my JC friends to roll in to sleep before their early flight out of KCI. Here they are.

Well, you didn't miss much except your lovely daughter by not coming to Arkansas this weekend. Harrison got 4", Marshall 3", and Searcy just had sleet and ice. You probably could have gotten here okay on Friday, but I'm not sure 65 would have been clear for you by Monday. Oh well, so much for plans. It's still cold today, but it's actually supposed to get above the freezing mark for the first time all weekend. You did miss a great Mexican potluck at church Sunday night, but I ate some for you in your absence. Maybe you can make a Mexican chicken cassarole for dinner tonight to make up for it! I'll tell you more about our Spring Break plans when they're all solidified, but it's looking more and more like we won't be able to come up your way. Sorry; now I'm a loser. More later. Take care.

It was good you didn't go to AR this past weekend. I went to Little Rock to visit college buddies and we were iced in the entire weekend. Roads were clear by Monday, so we made it home fine. :-)
