Hi Friends and Happy Tuesday! I posted Hodgepodge a day early so I could also participate in Currently. Anyway, as always, linking up with Joyce HERE and answering her fun questions below...
1.
The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of
1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day
every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event?
I would say a 5? I am excited and we will catch as much as we can...something definitely to look forward to! Always love the patriotism with our U.S. athletes! I am also super excited that these events will be in Italy- woohoo!
2.
In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship
game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us...what's your superpower?
Ha! So excited about this Superbowl because our beloved New England Patriots are in it AND Drake Maye is the new hero around here ;) Anyway...I digress...I guess my superpower is "Balance". I got nothing else but I can balance work and family because that is what I have to do so superpower? Not sure but I got nothing else ;)
3. Are you a romantic?
Yes...100%...completely...ridiculously...ha!
4. Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these?
I like both- very strong cheeses but they shine in certain dishes like beef with blue cheese and a nice Greek Salad with feta
5. What's more important-doing what you love or loving what you do?
Both!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Valentines Day is approaching...what are you all doing? Are you celebrating? Give me the goods!
Hi Friends and Happy Monday! Sarah and I are so glad you stopped by! If you blogged about your weekend, link up with us below so we can follow along! Here is what we were up to....
Friday Night
It was opening night for Eva's show! Since we had pizza last week already, I got us Jersey Mike's subs for dinner. We all ate at different times due to our crazy schedules.
Diana and I did Eva's hair and makeup and then I dropped her off at the high school. Diana also headed to the high school to get ready for the game with her team.
I headed to Red's to meet my football mamas for a cocktail before the basketball game and show.
We headed to the WHS basketball game. They were playing Salem (our biggest rival). Rob and his dad met me there. We could only stay for the first 20 minutes or so. When we left to walk down the hall to the theater, we were getting crushed 16-3.
We met up with the fam- my parents and brother, Kayla and Ally and Cass.
We found our seats and then Eva put us in the best mood! She shined as Lucille in Junie B Jones. We laughed-we cried and we were so proud of her!
During intermission, I snuck down the hall to check the score and the game was already over. I was scared to ask BUT we won...we won!! The final score was 55-47. Windham was happy!
After the show, we gave Eva all of the kudos and then we went home to crash! Diana headed out to a sleepover.
Saturday
We were up bright and early. I headed to the gym for an awesome yoga class...
then grabbed a tea- Valentine theme- I am here for it!
Then we all headed up to the high school around lunchtime to the see the Windham Cheer Showcase. With a small varsity team this year, we didn't expect much but they really impressed us with their quick little number. It was also awesome to see the middle school team perform. It was nice to see that the future for Windham Cheer is bright!
After that, I took Diana to the mall to find a bathing suit but we struck out. It sounds like more suits should be in the stores over the next week. We shall see.
We came home and ate lunch and then Diana got Eva ready- she liked the way Diana did her makeup better than Mama- ha! Rob and I finished "The Beast In Me" -WOW...is all I can say...watch it!
Then I brought Eva back to the high school for her final show. I volunteered by helping to sell tickets.
The 2nd and final show was at 5pm and the grandparents were all in tow again.
It was just as amazing as the night before. There were many tears after and that caused us all to cry- Eva misses it already!
This one killed me :(
After the show, we all headed back to our house for dessert and chit chat. It was a wonderful show.
Sunday
We slept in and it was GLORIOUS! I had signed up for a gym class but the day before I cancelled because I really wanted to get some extra rest. It will be the only chance I get this week. It felt great!
Then we all got up (well minus Diana who was at another sleepover). We headed to mass and got to meet our new pastor. He is WONDERFUL...we are thrilled that he is here- yeah!
After mass, we made the long drive to Westboro MA for Eva's hockey game. They lost but what a battle! It was an exciting one.
When we got home, I whipped us up a Sunday dinner then did the meal planning, grocery ordering and blogging.
Last night, Rob took Eva to her Middle School hockey game and I crashed. I read and started watching the Grammys. Diana worked.
It was a great winter weekend. It is supposed to warm up to the 30's this week- I am excited!
