No ball in the house?

This has been one of the best weekends in Jacksonville I can remember in a long time! On Friday, we had dinner with the usual gang and then went home to a quiet Lost marathon. (Lost is my newest addiction.) Then on Saturday, some of our really good friends, the Underwoods came to town to visit from Virginia Beach. It was so great to see them and to hang out with a few friends we hadn't seen in awhile. Logan went to Saturday Night Daycare while we all had grown-up time.

Today, Sunday, we all slept in a little later than usual and hung around the house being lazy for awhile. It was crazy cold and rainy out today, so it was a great day for cuddling on the couch, watching basketball and being lazy. This Elite Eight round was going to have a negative outcome for me now matter what happened. I hate UNC (naturally, I'm a Duke fan.) and I hate Kentucky, #1 because they beat my mountaineers and #2, because I just hate Kentucky. So I'm rooting on the Big East and pulling for UCONN to win it all!!

When we finally got motivated, we made a quick trip to the store and then got to working on the task of shampooing the carpets. I hate moving furniture, but I love how clean the house feels. Evan has been working on cleaning out and organizing all of his gear in our spare room, and so far we're on day two of that operation. If you ask me, if the Marine Corps is going to insist on issuing Marines that much gear, they should also issue a storage unit to each house to keep it in! It's amazing what he has accumulated over the past (almost) 5 years! A plus to carpet shampooing day ... A wide open living great for playing football! Evan, Logan and I passed the little Nerf football and wrestled each other around for hours! It was tons of fun! And I loved being able to abolish one of the golden mom rules of "No ball in the house!" Logan was a little irritated that he didn't have any chairs to hide behind when he was being chased, though. :)

4 more days until the parents get here! We're super excited! And I'm happy to have another fun weekend in the books.

Wore out after playing ball!

Like father, like son.
