Friday Wrap-Up

This past week was one filled with lots of family time.

Monday was President's Day and the kids had off of school.

Brian and I took them to Arundel Mills Mall where there

are lots of fun things to do and see.

This is where Ladybug took a turn in the Hurricane machine

and she also went for a spin in the EuroBall (which I will show pics of

at a later date ;).

We had lunch at Johnny Rockets and also stopped in Dave and Buster's so the 

kids could play some games.

Don't you just love the kid playing hide and seek in the lower right corner?

Monday night we ended up getting about 5 inches of snow,

so the kids were off of school again on Tuesday.

We all hung out at home and watched Invictus together.

If you haven't had a chance to stop in the "Movies and Books" tab above,

please do and check out what we have been watching so far this year.

Invictus was an amazing film and you can read all about my

opinion of the film and see a trailer at the tab above.

Tuesday night Ladybug had riding lessons and her instructor

put her on a much bigger and more difficult horse.

She had a challenging time with him, but I was proud

of the way she stuck with it and showed the horse who was boss!

Wednesday the kids went back to school and not a moment too soon

as Ladybug's Honor Roll assembly was being held that morning.

Congrats to her for earning her second Honor Roll designation this year!

Wednesday night Ty had his first basketball tournament game

and he had an outstanding game.  

I was so proud of the way he has developed his skills

and knowledge of the game over the past season.

His team won by one point with about 8 seconds left in the game

with a foul shot from his teammate.  

Tonight they will play in the second round of the tournament.

Good luck Ty and the Hawks!

This morning we had the pleasure of attending our second

Honor Roll assembly for the week...this time for Ty.

He too has made Honor Roll both quarters so far this year and 

we are so proud of him.

It has been a crazy, busy week but

one filled with love and family....

just the way I like it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

See you back here on Monday!
