• Okay, I'm going to try and do a post even though I'm really not feeling very peppy today, and I have a big ole' headache that just doesn't seem to want to go away....but anyway, I'll give it a try...

  Let's see if I can find some cheery things to report:

  1.  Kaleb's basketball season is over.  That is cheery (to me, anyway. lol)  They played in the championship game last night.  It was a close game.  They were ahead by 8 at one point, but ended up losing by 2, I think.  But they got trophies for 2nd place:

  

  Roxie played with some other little girls at the game and also ate some yucky sticky candy:

  

  Roxie, her cousin, Paige, and Kassidy, a girl in Lexie's class:

  

  Kaleb did make the all-star team, but he's not going to be playing on it.  We found out that the all-star games last for 8 weeks.  Can you believe that??  That's as long or longer than the regular season.  Anyway, that would run into his baseball season, so we decided against that.  Whew. 

  2.  The Miami Dolphins lost their playoff game.  How sad.

  3.  For Lexie's birthday, my parents are taking her to the American Girl cafe and store in Chicago.  Actually, they are taking all of us, except Jamie, over the kids' spring break.  So I called yesterday and made reservations for brunch at the American Girl cafe.  Lexie is all excited about that.  She gets to take her AG doll, and they bring the doll its own chair and place setting.  We've been teasing Kaleb because he's going to be having brunch at the American Girl cafe too. lol  He does not think it's funny....but if Papaw is going to go, then he'll suffer through it.  I told him we could get a chair for his baby doll too. lol  He's not seeing the humor.

  4.  I had to do a Lightning McQueen cake this weekend for my cousin's little boy.  He is obsessed with the Cars movie.  He loved the cake.  He kept saying, "thith ith awethum!" lol:

  

  Sammy with his cake:

  

  

  5.  I've been getting on facebook some lately.  I've had a facebook account for a long time, but I've never really done anything with it.  It's kinda fun.  I'm still trying to figure it all out.  If you're on there too, send me a friend request, so I can add you to my list.

  6.  Roxie thought she was hot stuff at church this morning.  She and Lexie wore their matching dresses, and she wanted me to do her hair like Lexie's too.  I had done Lexie's hair in a bun, which is easy to do, since her hair is so long.  Trying to get Roxie's hair in a bun is not an easy task. lol  But somehow, I managed to do it.  She was absolutely thrilled when I got it done.  She showed Lexie, and then Jamie, and then Kaleb.  And then she called my mom and dad on the phone and told both of them that she had a bun in her hair.  And then on the way to church she said she was going to show her friend, Bill, her bun.  So as soon as we got in the door, she showed her bun to Bill. haha  Then she proceeded to show anyone else at church who would pay attention.  Then tonight during church, she walked over to Amanda (Amanda and David sit in the same pew as us) and looked at her and said, "Do you love my bun?" lol  Here she is with her bun:

  

  Both girls with their buns:

  

  

  

  Oh, I forgot to mention that she also had some of that sparkly spray-on glitter in her hair, too.  She loved that.  She thought she was soooo big with a sparkly bun hair-do.  lol  I have a feeling she's going to be wanting her hair in a bun everyday. lol  (Aren't buns the official hair-do of the COC anyway?  lol  Or is that the poof?)

  7.  The kids are praying for a big snow this week.  It's supposed to be extremely cold here, and Kaleb's teacher sent home a bunch of homework, just in case school is called off.  Don't you hate it when they do that? lol  We probably won't even get any snow.  I'd like to get a blizzard.  We haven't had one of those in a while. 

  8.  I've got one cake this weekend, but it's only a sheet cake....Dora and Boots for a 2 year old.  That's easy enough.

  9.  Did I mention that I stepped in a 5-gallon bucket of icing with my socks on?  Yeah, that wasn't pretty.  It was 3:30 a.m.  Enough said.

  10.  Roxie likes to point out that George "Washingtom" is on the one dollar bill.  (She used to say it was Bob...still not sure about that. lol)  So the other day, Jamie was pointing out to her that Alexander Hamilton was on the ten dollar bill (at least I think it was a ten...haha)  Anyway, when he showed her a ten dollar bill later and asked her who it was, she said it was "Lexie."  lol  Lexie's real name is Alexandra...so she assumed that Jamie was saying it was "Alexandra" Hamilton on the ten. lol

  11.  And now for some photos of the kids at church....

  12.  Does anyone else enjoy the Biggest Loser as much as I do?  I love Tuesday nights.  At least there's one thing to look forward to.

  13.  Speaking of shows I like....I have now seen Twilight four times.  I'm thinking it's time to see it again.  Maybe this weekend.  I will be so sad when it's out of the theaters.  I wonder how long it will take for the DVD to come out?

  After three Advil, my headache is slightly improved.  Although, I believe it will come right back as soon as the drugs wear off.  I have a feeling this one will be around for a while.  It's gonna be one of those weeks...........
