A little of this, a little of that

As I mentioned in the last post...Brett and Blake lost a bet with our friend Paul from church and had to wear KU shirts during church last week.  Paul is such a good sport he sported his KSU shirt for them since KSU played such a hard fought game against the Hawks.  We are very much looking forward to football season, although after this weekend with KSU coming away with a road win and KU losing at home baseketball season could get interesting.  Go Cats!!

On Friday the 4th grade class presented a Famous Kansas Museum.  Each student selected a famous Kansan (from a list provided by the teacher), researched that person, prepared a posterboard with facts and then had a small rehearsed speech.  They also had to "dress" like their famous Kansas and have two props.  Somehow Brett lost out on doing his on Bill Snyder and chose Charles Koch of Koch Industries (aka his dad's boss).  Brett did a very good job on all aspects.

This weekend was Girls Weekend 2013 with my KSU roomies, Kelly and Jill.  Marty has given this to me/us as a Christmas gift the last couple of years and it's one of my/our favorite gifts ever.  This year we went to the big town of Arvonia, KS.  (Don't bother looking it up on the map as it's probably not even on there.)  Jill knew of a lady there that had a little house that she rents out for "creative weekends".  All three of us have at some point scrapbooked at one time or another so we decided to have a scrap weekend.  I finally finished my 2010 vacation and got all kinds of caught up with two of my favorite people.  As you might have guessed it doesn't take much for us to have a good time...all we need is to be together even if it is just for a short time.

We left the weekend with exciting plans of Girls Weekend 2014 as we started planning our trip for our 40th bday celebration.  We all went to Tahoe for our 30th bday celebration so the tradition must continue right?
All in all a good weekend.  My boys had a fun weekend with just dad and the house was in relatively good shape when I returned home.  Back to reality for us all come tomorrow.
