Last Friday

I cannot believe that it is the last Friday in January.  The year is already moving too fast.
Both boys had basketball practice so it was a long day at school, but it was a great one so there is no complaining!

Thursdays

So today was just another day.  School, after school care, and classes for me.  It will all be worth it.  I am also soon to start the process of job hunting so if anyone knows of anything in springville let me know.

Wednesdays

Some weeks I just need Wednesday.
I love the School Mass and when I am there with Jesus and all of the children I just feel so close to Jesus.

3rd Quarter

So the third quarter is underway and tonight was the 3rd Home and School meeting.  I was working the child care so Brandon came and went to the meeting so that the boys' would get their out of uniform day, that is definitely a big deal to them.
Because the boys were out last week I did not get the registration forms to the school for the boys' to have dinner so Brandon stopped on his way and brought them Chick-Fil-A.  Which is what was offered to everyone.

Martin Luther King Day

Well, the boys' are out of school yet again.  At least this time it is because everyone is out and not because they are sick.
We enjoyed the day just trying to get some things done around the house.  We seem to be falling behind in so many ways.  I tell myself every year this will be the year I am organized and on top of it, yet I am still just organized chaos and about knee deep in it.
I hope that everyone who had a day off enjoyed it!

Talk About BIG!!!

The boys have finally been fever free for a week so we headed to John Michael's basketball game.  It seems strange to be going on a Sunday, but it worked for us.  We went to Our Lady of Sorrows where we were met with boys who were HUGE!  Some of them were seriously more than twice the size of our guys.  Needless to say it was a rough game and they lost 22-0 and that would have been worse but the refs called the game in the third quarter.  Win or Lose I am not one to obsess but that was an unfair match up.  Oh well, Go Saints!

Plans Change

Since the boys were still down and out we missed the basketball game today.  Danny was not too happy, they were playing Our Lady of Sorrows, but he was glad to hear that they won.
The weather was rainy and gross so the photo shoot that I had planned was canceled.
It was a VERY rare calm Saturday for the Thach family.

Still Feverish

The boys still have a fever so we are still home.
The roads were clear this morning and Brandon had to go into work for a little while.

Three Inches

Well, the calling for snow was back and forth all week.  Where it was coming, when it was coming, and how much was coming seemed to be all anyone could think about or talk about.  It was definitely looking less promising, which was fine with my two still sick boys.  They both are still dealing with a pesky little fever that just will not break, which means we are still home.

When the snow came, it came and for the first time in a long time there was thundersnow which again was awesome.  I hated that the boys had to enjoy it from inside but I did not want them to get sicker.  Hopefully they will see some more this winter.  Of course I am also so ready for summer. So I am a little torn on that hope.

We thought that Brandon was going to be stuck at work, but he managed home later tonight when a lot of it was gone.  When it quit and the sun appeared for the first time in almost a week it helped get the roads clear and made it so that he could get home, which was great for us.
I did wonder what was more rare the snow or the sun, we have not seen much of either all winter.

Still Sick

The boys are still sick.  I know that they do not feel good when they don't fight and right now they are concentrating more on the couch and sleeping then anything else.  I hope my sweet babies get better soon.

To The Doctor We Go

Hi ho hi ho its to the doctor's office we go.
So the boys were both feeling down and out this morning so I decided we would go to the doctor to make sure that it was nothing serious.  Of course while we were there I was panicking about all of the crap we were being exposed to.
Danny has bronchitis and John Michael an ear infection and it looks like they will be out of school a few more days.
I called my boss and she told me to take care of them so I am going to do my very best.  When my babies are sick I am sad.  I like it when they are happy and healthy.  Hopefully this will be the case very soon for them both!

Sick Danny

Danny woke up this morning and did not feel good at all.  He was up and down with his asthma throughout the night so I let him go back to bed and I took John Michael to school.  Needless to say John Michael was not happy that Danny got to stay home, but he got over it.
I went to work and enjoyed the day with John Michael but I missed Danny and everyone asked where he was.
John Michael had basketball practice, which he had a great time.  They scrimmaged with our second grade team which is always a little more intense then it should be, but they all had fun and that is what matters most right?!

Sunday

We went to Mass this morning and then enjoyed a lazy Sunday, something that we are not able to do enough!

Basketball and Families

So today we had to split up to make it to all of the basketball games.
John Michael played at 9:00 at Our Lady of the Valley.  They ended up losing, but only by one point and that was because of a goal during the last minute of the game.

Danny played at St. Francis and they played great.  They won and had the best time.  There is a lot of talent on Danny's team and I know that Coach Adam is a great coach and has really helped Danny come a long way in basketball.

After basketball and some quiet time at home I had to go to Grayson Valley for a family photo shoot.  Danny wanted to come with me and be my helper which I always enjoy.  I love spending time with my boys even if it is while I am working.  The family shoot was great, and it was really great to see Kim and her family after a few years of simply keeping in touch on FaceBook.

Basketball Shoes

So Fridays are pretty jammed with basketball practice.
Today not only did we have practice the boys' both got their new basketball shoes which made for 2 very happy boys!  They had to wait and we missed having them before the first game but we have them now, which is a huge plus.
I love to see them smile and these shoes did just that.  They also made us smile as we realized just how long the boys' feet are!

WOW!  Of course with Brandon in a 12 and me in an 11 I guess large feet was just a matter of fact with them both!

Thursday

Thursdays are good because they are laid back.
There is school, there is work, and then we get to come home.
Sometimes I like Thursdays the best just because there is a little room to breath!

School Mass

Getting back to school was great, but being back to school with the first school mass of 2013 was really great.  It was nice to hear the Christmas songs from the Children.  I love this time of the year.
