I could not be more proud of Linus. His first archery competition (and the first for his school, and they’ve only been doing archery a couple of months, and not practicing a great deal) and he scored 207 out of a possible 300! Who knew he was a natural at this? Look at that arrow flying through the air! (It landed in blue, which is pretty good, if you ask me.) We have been calling him Katniss.

While the boys watched soccer in our room, Kiki and I watched the finale of Sex Education (highly recommend, but not with kids around) in her room on an iPad while drinking wine out of plastic cups. Cheers!

(We are traveling for an archery tournament for Linus. More on that coming up!)

Look how organized my shelves are! Kiki and I worked hard to get the dining room in order. I really don’t even have before pics of what a mess it was because I avoided taking pictures of this area – it was so cluttered. Now I have all of my Starbucks mugs on display!

He looks happy here, but rest assured he is most definitely not. We were at the vet. Time for shots! Poor buddy.

Went to visit Granny and Grandpa (George’s parents) on Sunday. The boys have officially passed up Granny in height!

 

[Sorry for all the posts today – gotta get caught up for the monthly pic!]

This is the third picture in a row of Miles and Linus. Guess who doesn’t like being in pictures? (Well, ok, none of them, really.) Right now, it’s always (American) football in the backyard.

More money = less hair

I am kicking off my St. Baldrick’s fundraiser today, and I’m a bit nervous. Why?

I decided I was going to tie the amount I raise to the amount I cut off. Part of me (the competitive part) wants to raise $10,000 and basically get a buzz cut, but most of me is terrified I am going to raise $10,000. (I realize it’s highly unlikely. But I had to set the goal high enough to be a really impressive goal and low enough not to be a jerk about it.)

Anyway, I have until March 28 to raise as much as possible. (My ideal amount is $9,999.)

Thanks for your support!

The series finale of our favorite show, The Good Place was on. Sad times.

We had our book club meeting and I got to pick the book! I hemmed and hawed over it, but ultimately chose my favorite book, even though it’s non-fiction. The food, as usual, was themed with the book, so there were scones and pork pie and clotted cream and Hob Nobs. Yay!
