The husband scurried the first week of the year to get Pinewood Derby cars completed. This was his first attempt at Derby cars and the cars ended up looking really nice although they were not very fast on the track. E was a little disappointed but Jay handled it a little better.

E was very happy to get a trophy for a best in show!

The husband learned a lot during this process and has some ideas to improve the cars for next year.
The boys have been enjoying scouts. They are close to earning their next rank. The ceremony is held in early February and I am helping organize the event.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been to two sporting events. The husband had a work function in the suite for a Ravens football game. He was able to get two additional tickets so that the older boys could attend as well. Jay was in heaven as he is a really big football fan. E enjoyed himself also but doesn't love the game as much as his brother. It was a cold day so I stayed inside the suite and E joined me for a good portion. It was nice to be able to attend the game and what a way to watch.
This past weekend, the husband and I got away for a night. It is so nice to have my niece in town and able to watch the kids for us. During the holidays, my husband's work had an auction. He bid and won tickets to the Washington Wizards game. Not just any tickets, coaches tickets. The seats are on the floor right behind the players and access to food and drink. The game was really fun. The guys are so tall and we were so close.

We stayed in Georgetown, actually arrived around lunch time. After checking into our hotel, we were able to walk around a little and had lunch. I kept seeing everyone with bags from Georgetown cupcakes. I thought that the cupcakes had to be really good so we searched and found them. There was a really long line waiting to purchase cupcakes. We weren't going to stand in line but definitely will look into it next time.
I have enrolled Tee back in soccer for another 5 sessions. He is adamant about playing. We have a new teacher this time and he is really funny and the kids love him. He definitely has more parent involvement and the kids love that as well. We are going to sign him up for baseball in the spring. He can not play soccer on a team until he is five. No we are not trying to steer him into any particular sport....
It is only mid-January???????
