Our non-winter

Family birthdays are done until the end of the year.  We made it through.  Now we just get to attend birthday parties.  We have a few on the calendar.

We have had lots going on in the last few weeks.  The husband invited himself on a friend's ski trip.  They went out west.  He was out there for 3 days of skiing and had a great time.  The boys missed a ski trip this year.  Next year we will make more of an effort to take them.

This winter has been such a non-winter.  It has been a really mild winter.  I am in no way complaining.  The weather can go from being really cold one day to 60 and sunny the next.  I do have to say that I am a little disappointed that we didn't have one big snow.  Maybe next winter.

I am working on a silent auction committee for my church.  I use the word committe loosely.  My neighbor who has run many a great auction was asked by someone that also attends my church to "help" her with an auction.  And then my neighbor roped me in.  It is really just her and I doing the work.  It is a lot of work, we will be very busy the next couple of months.

The basketball season ended this past weekend.  The last game is an all-star game.  Two players get picked from each team.  Jay was picked from our team along with another boy.  This boy ended up getting in trouble (at home) and he was not able to play.  So they put in E to take his place.  It is such a strange game.  The boys have never even practiced together.  There was no coaching going on for our team.  Our team was beat like 50-20 or something crazy like that.

Now it is time to focus on baseball.  The boys have two tournaments they are playing in this month.  Eight of the boys have come back from last year and they have added 3 other boys.  It will be very interesting to see them all play together. 

Wondering what the summer will be like this year given our non-winter.
