March Madness

March 1, 2012, Thursday - The Women's ACC Basketball Tournament has come to town. They were offering a free clinic for the kids age 6-12 and so I signed my kids up. It was awesome! They both got a free shirt, participated in a clinic, learned some skills, were entertained by a juggler, saw the mascots, got a free Food Lion bagged supper and then we watched the girls Wake Forest Team play against the Virginia Tech team. The kids and us had a wonderful evening. Wake won 80-74.Hoping to catch some prizes falling out of the huge inflatable remote controlled shoe above us.
We even got 3rd row seats for the game.Later we decided to move up where it was not as crowded and be able to see the court a little better.We even managed to make it to Chick-fil-A to support school night.

Snow Day

February 20, 2012, Monday - It snowed about 1-2 inches and so the kids had no school. So great it finally snowed, but the snow day that was built into their school calendar is adding to the end of the year. So now they have to go one more day in June. So, we are going to have fun and make good use of this day!
We enjoyed taking a walk on the trails, seeing the creek, making snow angels, trying to slide down the hill with no sled, and building small snowmen on the deck. Nathan just loved playing with the snow on the deck. He got creative and used our summer beach buckets to fill with snow and make the snowmen. Brittany and I made her a no sew fleece purse. It turned out cute. The kids also enjoyed playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii. We had a fun day!

First Snow of the Season

February 19, 2012, Sunday - This morning was a busy one at church. After Sunday School Chad and I greeted the lovely people coming into the sanctuary for the 11am worship service. Then we headed to the multi-purpose room & got ready to teach KOW (Kids Own Worship). This is a service for kids ages 4 years old-5th grade. We taught on the meaning of Lent. It was a fun morning. We had beans everywhere! After lunch we headed to the Coin Show at the coliseum with Paul and Paul. It had started to sleet some. We paid for parking and Chad dropped us off in the icky weather up front & went & parked. After all that, we went to the doors to go into the coin show and they said they were packing up and we couldn't even go in. Bummer! Chad got a refund for the parking and we headed to the mall. We had forgot they have a glow golf in the mall & after walking around remembered and we took the kids there. It was super fun. They played 32 holes. After that they were ready to hit the Candy Shop. And then you won't believe what happened......it started to snow! Wow - it has not snowed all winter...we thought we were just not going to get any this season and wow - we are getting snow. We headed for Mexican for dinner and enjoyed watching it come down during our meal. Yeah - we have snow!
