Special Olympics Basketball

Another Thursday, another Special Olympics basketball game. Xander is slowly getting used to the format, though he's not all that happy about it. He LOVES to shoot baskets. As one of the youngest, and therefore smallest, players on the team, he doesn't get many opportunities to shoot during the actual game. He dribbles the ball back up court, where he supposed to pass. Or, sometimes, he simply travels with the ball and tries to get to his sweet spot, about five feet out from the goal to shoot!  He had a special cheerleader in the audience tonight, he beloved special education teacher from school. He LOVES Mrs. B, and has been having a great year in her classroom. He was so excited to see her in the stands, and came over to sit next to her during several breaks when he was off the court!

Snapshot Sunday

Gorgeous sunset from the back yard on Wednesday night this week ... the sky was on fire!

Pizza

Sawyer has two food groups. Pizza and chicken fingers. It makes up about 95 percent of his meals. And I loved this pic that Aunt Kelly snapped on one of their outings this week, visiting the local Pizza Hut where he eats 95 percent of the pizza, too. Kelly gets one or two slices, maybe, and he eats the rest!

School Valentine's

The last year of elementary school means the last year of a lot of things. And this will be the last year for making school valentine's. Xander and Sawyer both enjoy these foam art projects we pick up at Michael's.

Chicken & Waffles

If you're going to be sick all winter, the very least Mommy can do is take you somewhere good for breakfast after all of these back to back doctor's appointments. Sawyer chose IHOP for today's visit ... chicken and waffles. He was much more interested in the chicken than the waffles. Mommy however was more interested in her stuffed french toast than anything!
