Weekend Wrap-Up

After a busy week with a few sickies, we were ready for a great weekend.  The boys got a donut surprise on Saturday morning!  They heard the doorbell ring and couldn't wait to see what was outside . . . so fun!  (Lincoln told me not to try to keep it a secret who left the surprise because he was sitting by the window in his room reading and say Nana leave the donuts.  Seriously!)  Yummy breakfast!
We had a fun lunch with the Katsoulis family!  They came over (minus baby Tyler) for Jersey Mike's sandwiches and iced sugar cookies.  Happy kids! 
These four play together so well!  Lincoln and Nick are Kindergarten buddies and less than two months apart in age.  They are both fun players but also so kind and fun with each other.  Beau and Ellie are both 3.5 year old little siblings, and they are both a little shy at first.  They bonded over the Tom Tom stand and played great together.  Sweet Ellie always has on a cute dress . . . we got a princess dress on this Saturday! 
After a little movie/rest, the Lincoln and Beau donned their new Dallas Mavericks shirts to wear to their first Mavs game!  What happened to my babies?!?!  They look so old!
We hit up the original El Fenix by the AAC before the game, then went in to cheer for our team!  Daddy and Lincoln were watching closely.  Lincoln loved to cheer each time we scored.   
Beau loved that our team was winning, but he wasn't a fan of the loudness.  He mostly was bothered that the announcer "told us what to do too much".  That's the Beau I know!  He prefers to clap when he wants, and stand when he wants, and on and on.  Still, it was a fun experience. 
Our seats were awesome, of course.  We enlisted the help of our best man, and we loved being so close to the court.   
The boys got an ice cream treat in the 3rd quarter, and they loved that!  Plain vanilla ice cream has never tasted so delicious! 
We stayed through most of the 4th quarter, and it was late when we got home.  The boys got hosed down in the tub and were sent straight to bed.  No one dared to come out, and they were asleep in minutes!  Two little cuties helped with the Central Market run on Sunday afternoon with balloons of course!  Nothing says cute like a case full of raw chicken . . .  
When our shopping was done, we stopped at Sonic for a couple of kids meals.  It was their first time to eat at Sonic, and we only stopped there because we heard they had Wizard of Oz toys in their kids meal.  We are almost finished reading the original Wizard of Oz (chapter by chapter) before bed.  They loved their 3D glasses and fun cards.  Can't wait to get to the end of the story!
So the cold front that was promised wasn't a lie!  It got cold on Tuesday and remained that way for the rest of the week.  On Sunday night the snow fell, and the boys got to sneak out of bed at 9:30 to check it out. 
The snow wasn't much and there was a little disappointment about not getting to miss school to build snowmen.  There is still plenty of winter left for snowmen . . .
