The Weekend in Review

Our weekend has flown by once again! I can't believe the month of January is almost gone!
On Friday, the kids didn't have school, as it was the end of the semester here in Barron. Austin took full advantage of his day off by going snowboarding in the afternoon. He had basketball practice in the morning, and then headed for the ski hill for the rest of the day. He and his buddies, Brett and Shay, had a great time 'boarding, and, thankfully, it was another trip to the hill with no broken bones!
On Saturday, Austin had to work at a basketball tournament here in Barron. All of the guys on the basketball team have to take shifts working the clock and keeping books. He had a get-together with friends on Saturday night to watch a movie.

Andrew spent his Friday morning hanging out around home playing Guitar Hero with Abby. He had a party Friday afternoon at his friend, Macky's, house with the rest of the basketball team, and then all of the guys went to watch the High School Girls Basketball game on Friday night.
Andrew had a tournament on Saturday in Somerset. His team played well, but all of their games were too close for my taste! They all came down to the last final seconds, and two of the games went into DOUBLE OVERTIME! They won their first three games of the day, and, unfortunately, they ended up losing their last game, the championship game. The final game was one of those that went into double overtime, but we ended up losing by three points at the end of the game. The boys brought home second place ribbons and very tired bodies!

Poor little Squirrel didn't have such a fun weekend. She has been sick with a sore throat and a fever since Thursday. Jamie was home with her on Thursday, and her brother, Andrew, took care of her on Friday. She did end up going to her Cheer Camp on Saturday afternoon with her friend, Brenda.
Today, we took Abby to the hospital for a strep test that turned out to be negative, so it appears she has a viral illness. Poor little peanut will just have to ride it out. We hope she is feeling better soon...

Tomorrow night, Abby is supposed to cheer at the girl's basketball game to show off what she learned at Cheer Camp--if she feels well enough, that is.
Tuesday night, Austin has a home game and it is also parent's night.
Friday night, Austin plays again in Northwestern--overlooking Lake Superior. It is a long drive!
Saturday, Andrew has a tournament in Superior. I am still trying to decide if we should just spend the night on Friday night after Austin's game, since Northwestern is only about 20 miles from Superior. Ugh--lots of driving!
~~~
Well, that is our weekend at-a-glance. Hope you all have a good week!
