Fat Tuesday

So we started today with Donuts from the school. The 8th grade was selling Krispy Kreme for a fundraiser so w got a box and that was breakfast.

I was working around the house and fell and did something to my knee and my shoulder. It was nuts and because it happened so fast I am not sure what, when or how. Glad to say that the box of Christmas decorations I was carrying that ended up all over the place was fine. I did somehow manage to not knock my face off.

After basketball practice we headed to McDonald's to bring home a shamrock shake for everyone. They are so good and since Fast Food is being given up for Lent it seemed like the best way to end Fat Tuesday.

Soccer Farewell

So today was very busy. We had a lot to do around the house and while we did not get as much done as I would have liked progress was made. We even managed to get the downstairs completely finished, and the indoor Christmas decoration boxes outside of the closet. Now there is no room downstairs, because of the boxes, but now I can start decorating. YAY! I was ready a month ago and now I can make it happen. Slowly but surely. Actually I have about 11 days to get it all done. Probably a little less because of all there is to do, but it will happen.
I had a great photo shoot at the Botanical Gardens. Children are so much fun and always bring so much character into a session. Watch www.monicaannephotography.com for more on this and all of the sessions that I have been working on this month.
John Michael's soccer party was this afternoon at McDonald's. It was definitely a great place for a soccer party. The kids had a blast. John Michael was so excited about his trophy and his picture. Coach Kristin was great all season, and the kids all learned so much. I know John Michael really grew in soccer and he loves it. We will be playing again next fall...spring is baseball.
Well, everyone is in bed and before tomorrow morning (which is in 30 minutes) I am headed there myself. I will be praying for you all tonight.
