So what went on around the Junkin house in February...Finishing up a fun basketball season. By the end of the season, Sam and Davis' team was down to just 5 players, so they got more playing time than they were ready for. Davis had a fun game of 2 backcourts in one game when he took off for the basket that looked like it was wide open. Sam had 6 points in the first quarter of the last game, and we were hoping for a breakout game, but it stopped dropping in. And I picked up a large crowd from church for their final game at the community center on a Wednesday night...
AHG was busy with an awards ceremony and badge work. Our explorers working on the "Living in the USA" badge, and learned alot about the state of Alabama. All the girls were "excited" to sing the state song of Alabama with me. We were also doing some prep and planning for the Bonfire, and they thought it was super funny that my old man bones kept popping during class, and then even funnier when we were playing charades and Avianna drew the word OLD from the pile. Her first thought on how to describe this word was to point at me, and Anabelle (sweet daughter of mine), her first guess was OLD. Yep, they seemed to think this was quite funny...
The girls at church are learning some wonderful leadership skills and how to help around the church...
I got to spend the day with Bella while they were down visiting, and after an adventure to the gift closet, we picked out some Sofia friends to play with. I loved getting some time with that sweet girl, and loved every laugh I got when I could not remember clover's name, just kept calling him thumper...
The youth group all went to watch American Underdog about Kurt Warner together. I don't know if they liked it as much as I did, but they enjoyed being together...
Ruby got two more of her teeth pulled in a very traumatic dentist visit with shots. Then the next morning with a sad face because the tooth fairy had forgotten yet again. But the following day, the tooth fairy brought extra dollars for her being 8 years, and the dollars were folded in the shape of hearts. So this made Ruby much happier, and we wondered together about if the tooth fairy could have gotten COVID, or just maybe was a boy fairy and forgetful, or just had a busy night. I would go with option 2 if I were guessing...
I was excited to visit with Ruby for lunch at school, and we had planned a time together for about a week and a half. I also remembered to pick up some McDonalds on the way to school, with a fun happy meal. Then the office lady told me they were not yet letting parents eat with the children since the latest Omicron variant COVID issues. So I went back to my car sad...then I thought...I guess I could just check her out, and we did, and had some fun daddy ruby time at the old park we used to go to often. We had some obstacle courses we were running and seeing who could be faster. She always won because I just can't get thru those tunnels like I used to. At one point of our obstacle she told me "You can start higher up on the third step because you are old". Oh well, Anabelle 1 and Ruby 1 this month...
Fun times on Facetime with Eloise...Fun times with Ms. Lisa at her 40th Birthday Party...Fun times with Ivy singing "Do you want to build a snowman"...Valentines day surprises for the grandparents, and a visit to Bellinis for me and Magan...Magan spending some time with cutie girls while Shay and Katie shop...a return to frisbee golf...And while I did not get a picture, Ruby showed me her "safety bag" full of first aid needs she takes to school each day, and shared with me an idea of making her backpack into a heater cooler with buttons she could push depending on the weather in the morning...
