school ball

william began school basketball this year.  he's on the 6th grade team, and they have had a great time learning the game and learning each other on the court.  it's been fun to watch!  sometimes painful...but mostly fun!!!  :)











now we have to see if we can remember what a tennis racket looks like!

hymn festival

another year of hymn festival is in the books.


william moved up into a new category this year.  the whole room sang along!  however, it didn't seem to bother him at all, and he said that he liked having the director in his vision to help keep time.  he got a perfect score from the judges, and he now has another superior to add to the collection.


and...he had the cutest fans, no doubt!

sleepy

when you come in from basketball games, your sleeping bag is still out from the weekend, and you just can't make it up to your bed...


i think abe could get used it!!

back in starkville

we watched the state/auburn game last weekend in starkville.  we thought it was going to be a good one judging by how we started out.  but....we are bulldogs.  such is life.

we did get some play time in before the game.










we sat right behind bruce pearl and watched him act like a crazy person and throw a few fits here and there.  it was entertaining, but we couldn't pull out a win in the end.




maybe we'll be better luck next game!

risk

what do you do when you are out of school for the 5th day in a row?  you stay in your pjs and play risk with mama.  and when i say play risk, i mean play an everlasting, all day, take snack and bathroom breaks type of game.


there were meltdowns, high fives, hollering, pouting, tears, and dancing.  we really should all wear a tag that says "does not play well with others....unless winning!" :)

snow day

we've been out of school for a sweet forever because of the possibility of snow.  and today it finally arrived.  i'm not a fan, and when it is 17 degrees outside and feels like 4.....the little people didn't last too long out there either.








and now we would all appreciate it if mother nature could go back to remembering that this is mississippi and bring our warm weather back!

resolution

wes:  "my new year's resolution is to play golf at least once a week."

(even when every water hazard is frozen over and it feels like 15 degrees outside)


as long as they don't ask me to join them, i'm good with that!!

finishing vacation the right way

what better way to kick off the new semester than by hitting up chick-fil-a for breakfast the last day of vacation?  we had some gift cards to use, so we enjoyed those AND enjoyed playing bingo.  who knew there was a weekly bingo morning at chick-fil-a where you can win free food???  we do now!  they were the youngest people playing by several decades, but that didn't stop the fun!!


if only school could be as entertaining....
