My husbands out of town soccer was canceled, yet again, and so was this 8 hour class I was supposed to take on Sat at the hospital. By the way, when you are getting "snowed in" always send your husband to the store for the supplies. We ate it up this weekend: fire cheetoes, jalapeno chips, mint oreo cookies. jalapeno poppers, moose tracks ice cream, smoked Gouda cheese and triscuits, and of course you cannot forget the coke, TAQUITOS, and mountain dew.
We ended up not really being snowed in but still found a way to eat all that food, miraculously. Saturday morning Ben went in to listed to a Navy Seal speak to his soccer team and found the roads quite nice and Little Ben ended up doing his usual; wake up 35 mins into his nap freaking out screaming crying and wont let you touch him (hopefully it is a phase-a short one), so we all jumped into the car and went to the VMI basketball game. It was "red out" so we all wore red. Ben ran like a wild child who has been locked up for months - oh wait, he has been! It was a great time. Especially when he ran into Moe the mascot. A seven foot kangaroo. He was actually saying"boo" all whilt pointing at him each time. Aren't kids usually scared of big dressed up creatures? I know I still am. In this picture however, Ben looks a little freaked out.
We ate Mexican after the game (yes we had Mexican when we had all that delicious food at the house). Then some friends came over later to eat our food with us and to play cards.
Sunday we hung around the house cleaned some although you cannot tell, did laundry but none is folded and we have an even bigger mess now. Then since it is so cold out decided to bring the snow inside to Ben so he can play with it...also copied my friend and made snow cream. I'm am from the south and never heard of such a thing! Sure enough, there is such a thing. Paula Dean even has a recipe for it!...but it is missing butter.
Oh, and of course it was Super Bowl Sunday so we went to Matt an Jenny's house and watched none of the game chasing Ben around and eating. I think Connor got to see most of it. But we had a great time. They had really cool cat toys for Ben to play with-the laser was a hit. An automatic vacuum for Ben to follow around, and a cool trash can to open and close.
