Blah Blah Blah

Because of the snow days, there are lots of basketball games to be made up - all this week. So translated - LOTS of Tiger basketball for us this week (I'm actually looking forward to it!).
I took my camera to the game this past Friday, but really only got 2 pictures - surprising, I know. I had been playing at the park all day with the kids and was still in my beautiful yoga pants/workout shirt with a lovely nasty ponytail and minimal make-up at best. So there was no way I was getting in any shots. :)
So here's the funny part of the story:
At the game that night with about 3 minutes to start, Jason came and asked me if I'd sing the National Anthem b/c they didn't have anyone to do it. Now - I never pass up this opportunity because it's my absolute favorite song to sing and I haven't gotten to since college, BUT I really looked like trash people. I tried to stand behind the announcer and do it so no one could really see me but the guy made me get on the court. Fabulous. Then I got a link to an event photographer who was there and happened to get about 15 pictures of me in my beauty and put them on his NWA website. Ha. I just laughed at that point.
I'm singing it again for Senior Night next Saturday (with warning this time!) so I'll get a shower 2nd time around. :)

I figured out a trick (don't know why it took me so long): both my children fit in the single stroller. Find of the night.

 Somewhere around the third quarter, Bethany and I turned around to this handsome mess who had unknowingly made his way to in the animal cracker bag. Sweet thing. This kept him entertained for an entire quarter.
 Yesterday was GORGEOUS. Lincoln and Noah were at home taking naps and I loaded Lincoln up to go to the park. I forgot what it was like to take only one child - I loved this one-on-one time with him! And might I add (if you're NWA people) this park is the best park EVER. I was totally in awe of it. Absolutely gorgeous. It's the new one behind Krispy Cream by the Toyota dealership - amazing.
 
 
 
I know this is a random post...sorry. :)
