4-day Weekend in Review

Today is President's Day, and the last day of our 4-day weekend.

Friday happened to be a built-in snow day that we didn't have to use as a snow day. Yeah!

I worked on Saturday....boo for that.  But otherwise we:

Read a Million Minutes....

Watched  a couple of basketball games.....

Although, in this picture, it looks like Claire is demonstrating a football blocking technique than setting a screen.....

We slept in.....

Celebrated the cat's birthday....because that's what we do on "snow days"....

Wore our jammies with style, attitude and purpose....

...and we generally tortured each other in that fun-loving-family way that we like to torture each other....

And I didn't see much of the Wildcat this weekend.  He had it all planned out where he could spend the entire weekend, day and night, playing xbox live with his uncle.  I woke up one night in the middle of the night and had to venture down to the mancave and tell the "two of them" that they had to quiet down or I was gonna call aunt suzie and stage an xbox intervention.

They both came up with the idea that uncle Shawn was actually keeping Nathan out of the kind of troubles that some teenagers might otherwise be getting in to. 

Genious. 
And hard to argue with. 

So if Nathan shows up to school tomorrow with an indentation in his hair from wearing the headgear all weekend long, rest assured that he was merely bonding with his uncle and not out running around.
