DECC Carnival

Last weekend Steve got sick, the 3rd person in our family to get the stomach flu, so I decided to take the kids with my friend Harper and her kids to the Family Fun Fest at the DECC. The kids had an absolute blast going on the rides and getting cotton candy. It was the perfect thing to do indoors and break up these long winter months.

Basketball - Jack

Jack had his last Saturday of kindergarten basketball this last weekend, so I finally got around to taking some pictures and video. All week Jack talked about how they were going to play a "real game". Steve let them try to play 5 on 5 and it was actually pretty funny to watch. Most of them wouldn't really dribble, including Jack, but he did score quite a few times.

President's Weekend

Again this year we spent the Sunday night of President's Day weekend with the Battaglia family at the casino. This year we decided to get our own room because we knew the kids would enjoy staying overnight. We met everyone out at Black Bear in the late afternoon and started off with an early dinner at the buffet. Once we finished we headed up to the room to get situated and then the kids wanted to go to the arcade. After quickly playing through their tokens, Steve and Sam decided to take the kids swimming before bed. We let them stay up a little bit later and it was nice because they fell right asleep. Steve's mom and aunt hung out in the adjoining room while Steve and I were able to spend some time in the casino. We did NOT come out lucky winners.

House Update - burning at the land

We finally picked a realtor last week and will be listing our house, hopefully, by the last week in February. We have a few things to do to get it ready, but mostly just cleaning and organization stuff. We've spent a lot of time in the last week getting household stuff we don't use packed up and in storage.

Today, we went over to land to burn some of the brush that was left behind from all the trees we cut down. In the picture below you can barely see the red house, but now with many of the trees gone you can easily see it.
