Basketball weekend

We spent Friday and Saturday night at Papa Bears work for the last two basketball games. Friday was Think Pink Night. Brother sported a pink polo and was looking pretty spiffy. Sister had on a dress with her pink sparkle shoes and every necklace she owns. On Saturday night the guys all gave Brother a card with a gift card in it. Sister enjoys helping out her dad too. She pulls coolers and puts ice bags in the coolers.
Brother ended up not feeling well Saturday night so he didn't help past halftime. He went into the training room and laid on a table and watched tv.

Ladies Man

This past weekend Papa Bear had to go to Eastern Washington for basketball. Its about a 5 hour drive. They left on Thursday afternoon. Brother Bear didn't have school on Friday because of Presidents Day so he was allowed to go along. Every once in awhile he gets to go on an out of town trip with Papa. Brother is Papa's helper on the bench, passing out water bottles and towels. I went to get him early from school on Thursday. He was pretty excited to miss the Valentines party in his class. He didn't miss out on the valentines though! The women's team travels and plays the same schools as the men's team. They came prepared with Hannah Montana valentines for Brother.

I don't think he's too embarrassed....he's smiling.

No Snow

No snow.

This is the first year since we moved here in 2005 that we haven't had any snow.

We don't get alot of snow here, so I think it's still fun and exciting when we do get snow.

The kids are bummed.

Their aunt gave them this awesome snow paint to use.

It's been put in the closet.

Maybe we'll get to use it this winter.

We might just have to save it for next winter.

Guess for now I'll just have to look at old pictures of the snow.

Stickers

We went to the store the other day and the kids got these stickers from the checker while we were in line. They stuck them on their foreheads and just laughed and laughed. Sister would take hers off and check if her eyebrows were still there. Brother said he had a uni-brow and then asked if there was such a thing.

Broken Comb

Papa Bear did Sister's hair the other day. For those of you who have never seen Sister when she wakes up, the back of her hair is a rats nest in the morning. I use a detangler spray on her hair when I comb it out. I don't think Papa knew that. So, he set about to do Sister's hair.

I am in the other room and I hear "oh no you broke the comb." Her rats nest was so strong it broke the comb. Brother comes upstairs and sees the broken comb.
Brother- "hey my comb is broken."
Mama- "you don't comb your hair." His hair is getting very long and shaggy. Half the time he goes to school without combing it.
Brother- "but when I do comb it that's the one I use."
