Happy Valentine's Day!

Just me sitting at a volleyball tournament... We had another one on Saturday and Heidi's team did ok, more bad than good... They were down a player and not that the player was the best player - more of they had to completely change the rotation and positions to adjust for this missing player. When the team was on, they were magical. When they were off - holy cow - horrible... Plus this tournament seemed to have a lot of down time... the girls would get bored and would take a bit to wake up and play. They ended up winning the bronze bracket but shouldn't have even been in that low of a bracket. They are better than that. Oh well... we have more tournaments ahead for us!

Heidi loves to ref. How it works is the other teams not playing, take turns with reffing the games. Heidi always votes to be the net judge. I think sometimes you likes this more than playing - ha!

Lots of downtime...

Then it was Valentine's Day! Thank you to all the grandparents who sent gifts and they girls had a nice relaxing day.

This is how Lucy sits in our chairs...always...

As I'm sitting at a tournament, Chris had fun with Lucy and would make me jealous with his snuggle pictures!

Remy's favorite toy, ManWolf needed some TLC. I had to sew several holes and Remy was concerned the whole time. He stayed right by him and afterwards wanted to lick and make sure he was okay. Now that is love. 

Lucy playing with her new Lego sets and making a volcano!

It was a nice valentine's day for sure. Relaxing and fun activities for the kids. This week is lots of snow and we will see if we get a snow day or not. We also aren't 100% sure if we have volleyball this weekend or not as our schedule got a little messed up. We will see... 

We are thinking about Chris' mom, Brett and Tone as they are all battling a tough case of COVID right now. We are checking in on them and hope they start getting better soon! 
 

Teeth - Games & Cooking

We received Heidi's volleyball picture. I love when you buy before you see. I think Heidi looks good but holy cow do they have a soft focus on her. It is like she is blurry - I don't get it. I wish I could get the normal picture too. Oh well. 

We finally took Heidi to the dentist last week. Her baby tooth with a crown was preventing her permanent tooth from coming in correctly. She was a trooper and had two baby teeth pulled. Then a couple of days later - she pulled out her final baby tooth! We are going to let her teeth come in and see how they turn out. She might get braces she might not- they are looking decent on their own!

Heidi finally received a Christmas present from Babs that was order back at the beginning of November. yeah. USPS - great job on that one!

Our hairy beast. We are keeping him longer because it has been so cold out. He is one fuzzy fat dog!

Lucy wanted me to take pictures of her after she played VR to show off her creases in her face. Lucy is goofy.

Saturday we tried to have a normal day - Heidi baked - we played games and just relaxed. It was great and felt normal. 

Lucy decided Chris needed a new hair do...

I don't know why they pick Monopoly... they all know they will lose... to me and they did...ha!

We watched the Husker volleyball game - which was fun!

Heidi making her Tik Tok pasta she saw and she loved it. 

 You will find one of our kids playing VR somewhere in the house - always. At least they can do it themselves and we only have to break up fights on who gets to play ever so often. I'm just happy they like it! Just a normal week ahead of us - then back to volleyball tournaments and Valentines Day!

Weird - Boring - Weekend

And just like that another weekend is done. I don't even know what we did this weekend - really nothing. Chris injured his back and then I think he got food poisoning... he ate some questionable chicken from Panera on Friday and had an immediate reaction that continued to the next morning. For safety we quarantined him because you never know with symptoms these days if its something else or that darn COVID! By Sunday we looked normal again and just had his sore back. I think we are in the clear but I didn't some extra cleaning and ran the air purifiers a little more just in case. 

Because Chris was out for the count, we didn't do much. We watched movies and just were bums (besides the household chores)... I don't have a ton of pictures..

Lucy's gym assignments are always interesting. She had to catch clothes. Okay - I'll whipped clothes at my kid and take pictures... not sure how that is gym but it is quick and easy - I'm not going to argue. 

Bums...

Chris did surface enough to make from scratch giant cinnamon rolls - that he later regretted because all he could taste was vomit and cinnamon. We loved them but I doubt Chris wants anything cinnamon for awhile...

I had Lucy try on her 1st communion dress - or really it is Heidi's and it fits perfectly! I let her pick out a new fun veil that should arrive this week and she is excited. I'm excited we get to reuse a dress! It isn't until May, but I wanted to not have to scramble to get prepared!

And out of boredom, I made a Disney count down. We have booked and cancelled numerous trips. We have booked one for June as Chris wants to go for his birthday and father's day. We will see if we actually go. I thought, if I make a count down, then it has to happen - right? I was bored and needed to be crafty, which was fun.

 Just school, volleyball and a heating pad on Chris' back for this week!
