Familypalooza

What a great family weekend.
Nothing major planned.
Good times for sure.

1. Trysten had his final basketball game of the season.
We're so proud of him.

2. The boys...and I mean all the boys...logged countless
hours of outdoor playtime:

3. There was also some educational fun.
I know...I'm mean like that.
Preston and Trysten did word ladders which are actually pretty fun.

4. I called a friend at about 11:30 last night in a panic
after finding this in Austin's shorts pocket:
Photobucket
Okay.
This might not seem like a big deal to you,
 but here is what went through my mind:
Who is Ericca?
What does she mean she equals fun?
Why is she giving this information to my son?
I am not ready for my son to be receiving notes from girls.
Girls are so different from boys.
Girls are waaaayyyyy more forward than when I was little.
What is "The Teenager" going to do with this information?
When I called said friend, I read the "note" to her,
and she asked her husband what he thought.
His answer further supported my worst fears.
Details to come later after a discussion from the "note's" recipient.

5. I did some more research this weekend
for our trip to NOLA next month.
I'm totally psyched about my discovery of
Blood Mary's Tours.
We are so taking a haunted tour.
Ryan is totally in on this.
Cannot wait.

6. We also confirmed dates for our New York trip.
The plan is to leave December 26th and return January 2nd.
Let the itinerary planning commence.
To me, that part is just as much fun as the trip itself.
This trip to NY will be much different from last year's,
in that there will be no children.
Oh, the possibilities are endless, my friends.

7. "The Teenager" just found out that he
made the basketball team at school!
Fifty five kids tried out, and only 22 made it.
We are very proud of him, and he's super excited.

That's our weekend!
Hope yours was just as good!

Eat at Patois in NOLA. Not is the Quarter but a friend of Casey and mine owns it and is the head chef. Aaron is his name. Make reservations now. It has been written up in So. Living.

Sounds like a fantastic weekend. New York during the holidays? That sounds exciting. Enjoy!

Congratulations to "The Teenager" for making the basketball team AND for getting a note from Ericca. ;o}

Oh wow - Ericca=EVERFUN??!?!?! I have 2 problems with this. 1) Who spells Erica with 2 C's??? 2) What does Everfun mean???
I do not envy you at this time at all. Good luck, my dear!

In other news - so proud of T and the Teenager for their basketball skillz! Awesome.

Can't wait to hear about your trip to NOLA. Email me if you want restaurant tips for NYC. I've always got the lowdown. :) Just ask Coco.

I am not all concerned about this note. Why? I don't get it so I am anxious to get the deets. I am jealous of your travels. Sounds fabulous. Yeah, for the Teenager!
