Egg dying

 Easter egg dying! 

Never to old to decorate some eggs! 

Hard at work and hopefully having fun!

QCHS Baseball opening day!

So tonight was opening day for the new turf field for baseball. (Apparently other sports can play on this too but I'm not sure that will truly happen.) 

I had planned on attending to see the first game just because I love baseball, but... little did I know that RJ said he would play his mellophone during the 5th inning stretch. Wait, what? He did not take warm clothes this morning and after his tennis match was already freezing... good thing I had extra layers in my car that he could wear. Thank goodness also I grabbed handwarmers! 

It was a nice ceremony and although the team lost, it was a cool atmosphere and Macen pitched well in his two innings. 

Penn State College Visit

First college visit!

We had a half hour orientation followed by an hour and a half walking tour of the campus. 

Meal in the cafeteria was included - it was just ok to all of us

We followed lunch with a meeting with a biology professor and got a glimpse of what Morgan's caseload would look like. A bit scary to my eyeball! But I guess biology will be hard core no matter where she attends!

HAD to stop at the creamery! Best ice cream I think I've ever had! Last time I had this ice cream was when I came to Penn State for a football game in Fall 1996! 

Can't leave without the obligatory Lion photo!

Early Spring band concert

Another awesome band concert! We had a great time listening to some great music! Nice job RJ and Morgan!! Mr. Parker again did a super job performing some amazing music!

Mr. Parker acknowledging Morgan after her solo! Woot!

Obligatory after concert photos!

Student of the month!

So proud of my boy! He earned Student of the Month for December his freshman year at the high school! His English teacher, Mrs. Stover, nominated him. Way to go buddy! Lots of different angles of you up front!

Such a nice write up!

Snow Day!!

Welp, a snow day is no longer a snow day... for Mom at least! I have a virtual day - but I'm so happy with it! I get to sit at home and work on paperwork all day! Wahoo!! I LOVE the snow. I would love to play in the snow, but the kids don't want to, boo hiss. They had to shovel though because they had an actual SNOW day so I (literally) forced them to go out and shovel!

Good job kids! Clean that driveway so Dad can get back home!

Yes, stand together and smile please!

Mom got the fixings for hot chocolate ready for the chilly kiddos!

Morgan offered to give me a make-over. Yes please - just to get to spend time together!
