hannah's first pro game....

So Saturday was a fun, full day for us.

We went to Charlotte for the Rv/Camper show. We spent a few hours looking at pop-ups and travel trailers. Just browsing.

Then dinner - at Uno Pizzeria. Hannah and her friend Catherine made their own pizzas.....Note the paper aprons....


Then it was off to the game....Bobcats vs. Toronta Raptors. We got to the game after it had started. As we went in, they were giving kids under 14 jerseys. We got the LAST 2!!!! Wooo Hoo - that was exciting!! The girls seemed to really love the game - cheering - hooting - trying to get free shirts and stuff.....Here is a picture - they are wearing their jerseys...


But the Bobcats lost - could not make a free throw for the life of them....We had to go and get a couple of claws.... Still - it was fun! And so you can see the view from the nosebleed section...

kinda quiet around here.... {insert sigh}

{sigh}
Yup, mom and dad are gone. Left for home (got back safe and sound, thanks).
But it is quiet here. Too quiet.
Tiger is looking for them - I thinks he misses their laps.
Chris mentioned that it seems too quiet now.
Hannah said she had gotten used to them being here and misses them.
Me - I always hate the goodbyes. {sigh}

So, I will post a valentines day picture. Hannah and mom made a heart shaped cake. Please note the cake mix all over Hannah's face.....

And my valentines day present from my hubby... a FINISHED mantle!!!!

So I gotta run - time to cook hot dogs for the kidlets at church.

BTW - it is supposed to warm up this week - mid 60's by Wed. Sorry mom and dad.

going, going, going.....

to Florida for the week. Just me and the hubby. Back next week.

8:00am...this does not look like a good day....

for mom and dad to fly in. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well.
We are getting snow - turning to freezing rain - turning to rain. The best we can hope for is that the temperature warms up enough to get a good rain and not freeze.

more progress....

stained and waiting final sanding and sealing coat......but closer.....

Brrrr....

Brrrrr.....yes it is dang cold around here. I even wore gloves this morning. Cold.

Just in time for mom and dad to arrive. For some reason, when they are here it is NEVER nice warm gorgeous winter weather. Maybe it will be nice warm gorgeous weather in Orlando......

Progress

Yes, this is progress. Almost a mantle. Just needs a few more pieces, flush mounted receptacle (for an electrical outlet), wood conditioning, staining, sealing and da-ta. Progress.

that is one fat cat....

Tiger is officially fat. Now, every winter he bulks up and when summer comes he slims down. But this winter - he is fat. Waddling down the hall fat.
He is on limited food - 1/2 scoop in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon. And only a few treats a day. But those nights spent lanquishing in the garage instead of stalking all the baby bunnies in the yard, those nights are making him fat.

Yep, Tiger is a fat cat.

School is out today and yesterday. Hannah spent yesterday with her dad. He made her work on her book report, eat fruit for lunch, and go to some job sites. While on the job, her Ninteno DS died and she starteed whining. Then she was cold. Then hungry. He gave her an apple. At this point, she informed him that it was much more fun to spend a day off with mommy than daddy. (har, har)

Today, she is home with me. We are going to the movies. Much more fun. And I did not make her eat fruit. And we will have lunch at Micky D's. For once I get to be the fun one!

Tonight is basketball at 8pm. Hope we can stay awake that late! Happy Weekend!

234....

CD's loaded onto my ipod. At least that is what Itunes is telling me. I finally finished loading our entire music collection (from CD - those albums are not going anywhere) onto the ipod. So I now have a compact traveling music collection! Cool.

a little better but not great...

Okay, so finally a shot. Not too good but still. I will wait till Dad comes with his fancy smancy D200 and he can take some good shots.
Basketball game #2 friday night. The Lady Wolfpack WON their game 30-8!!! Whoo Hoo!!

And here is a bit of a funky shot taken without a flash in a dark gym with moving targets:
