Weekend Update

We went to a concert by the Yellowsub Marnies on Friday night. They sang Beatles songs. We had a lot of fun. (No, there are not two Abbey's in the picture...the other blond is her friend Heather who, if they have the same haircut, get's called Abbey and Abbey called Heather by the ladies in the school office!)Today was Girl Scout day at the Women's MSU basketball game. Here are a few girls from Jenny's troup--all the ones with the snowcones. There are 13 in the troop and here are 5. It was a fun day! I guess, since I now have MSU wear, I am a Spartan fan. I've been a "Switzerland" fan for the 16 years we've lived in Lansing (by Switzerland, I mean I wouldn't choose MSU vs MI) but since we've been going to the Women's game this year, I've become a fan. Sorry to Switzerland.
GO MSU!

Reasons to Love Mondays...part one

No one likes Mondays...it's hard to get out of bed thinking about the 5 long days you have ahead of you! But, if we can come up with reasons to LOVE Monday's, maybe we wouldn't hate them so much!

Here's one I thought of today...For some reason, the elementary school lunch menu has something that my younger two girls love so they choose to get Hot Lunch on Monday's and that means I don't have to pack a lunch or make a sandwich for one or two kids!! It's great since we've almost always run out of food by Monday (hence my Monday Morning Meijer shopping trip that I have not been able to change for many years) and I only need to find a snack to send with them!

Another reason to love the Monday after Superbowl...our youth group at our church sells Sub sandwiches on Superbowl Sunday. We usually order several so if I do have to make a lunch, I can put in half a sub sandwich...not having to make one is such a delight!!!

And, it's sunny today...what more can we ask for in the wintery tundra of Michigan!
