The One Where Emma was Here and Lara was There

February 2-5, 2018
This past weekend was kind of a weird one.  As usual, LOTS going on, and the logistics are never easy (I will be so glad when they can drive themselves!).  The craziest thing (to me), is that Emma was in Stillwater for the better part of the weekend, and “technically” Lara was, too, but they never actually saw each other!  That’s incredibly rare.  And strange to me…  So, since they were never in the same place at the same time this weekend, I am going to do one recap per twin!  Here we go!

EMMA:

Emma had her last home basketball game in Mulhall Friday night.  The Lady Panthers lost to Crescent, even though Emma had quite a fan club present!  Nana, Grandpa, and the 4 Weavers were all in attendance!  Due to Jake having crazy early basketball games down in Piedmont, Emma went to spend the night in Perkins with Nana and Grandpa.  Finn was on that train as well!  Instead of leaving town at 6:30am with us, they got to sleep in, and Nana took them shopping.  Emma needed a new, professional outfit to wear to an interview this week.  She has applied for the Precision Metal Fabrication program at Meridian Technology Center, and she has her application interview coming up this week.  After a morning of successful shopping, Nana, Grandpa, Emma, and Finn met the rest of the Weavers in Edmond to watch Jake play his last game of the day.  The won a TOUGH one, so the reward was ice cream for all!  Emma and Finn picked a good game to go to – they got ice cream, too!

Stone Cold for the WIN

After we got back to Stillwater for the night, Emma went out with a few of her friends to hang out with their modified pick-up trucks, and a late dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.  This girl is always up for an adventure!  Saturday morning, we headed back to Orlando about 11:45.  After a stop at her house to drop off her “gear,” she was back in Mulhall to work at the Fair Barn for the rest of the day.  We only got her for a few hours, but she did get to sleep in Lara’s bed, and somehow in the few short hours she was there she earned the nickname “Earthquake Emma” for the state she left the back of our house in! LOL!  We found a few of her belongings at our house, and Nana has a few at her house as well for the next time we see her…

LARA:

Lara spent the entire weekend with the high school girls group from Eagle Heights Baptist Church.  The retreat called “The Gathering” had them meeting together at the church, then staying in one of the group member’s homes from Friday night through the church service on Sunday morning.  There were 9 girls in their group, and they had a great time.  Worship, bible study, group activities, quiet time, fun, and contests!

Sunday at church

Much Love

One of the contests on Saturday involved each group (there were several age specific gender groups) was assigned to make a music video.  I have been able to see a few of them, but of course I think my girls’ is the best!  And, THEY WON!  But, of course they won – it was about loving your mom!  A vote against them was a vote against MOMS!  Here is the video:

When we finally did get Lara back mid-day on Sunday – after Emma was already back in Logan County -- she was EXHAUSTED, and her dirty laundry was taking over her room.  So, while the rest of us went back to Edmond (again) for Jake’s jr nba 3v3 games, she rested and did laundry.  She also got to watch the Super Bowl, which we missed most of due to games, eating, and driving back.  We were able to watch the last quarter as a family, then tune in together for the CRY FEST that was NBC’s This Is Us.  We love watching this show together as a family, and last night’s did not disappoint!  We are BIG fans of the Big Three, and last night we FINALLY learned how Jack Pearson died.

The Six Dream Weavers are off on more adventures this week, as always.  Can’t wait to see what the Twisters do THIS weekend and document it on the 2020 Project blog.  Stay tuned!
