This weekend was FINALLY a little slower paced, but not necessarily by design. We said NO to some things in order to make sure the important things (like REST - flu and cold season is BAD this year!) got the attention they deserve. We are 2 weeks in to the semester, and Lara felt so very far behind, she asked the wrestling coaches if she could stay back for the tournament Friday and Saturday to get caught up - she had to make up some assignments and a test! Plus, REST! When she was looking at the week ahead last week, she said, "I just can't even!" That's teenager for "I need a break." Thankfully, they understood and she was able to attend to her schoolwork.
In the meantime, Lara and I are doing something we like to do on rare occasion; we are reading the same book. I got an alert that the book "Elanor and Park" by Rainbow Rowell was on special for Kindle, so I bought it after reading a few reviews. I told Lara what I got, and she said she had always wanted to read it! I finished it in a couple of days, and now she is almost done with with it. I can't wait to talk about it with her! (I really liked the story. Enjoyed reading it. The ending... well, Lara needs to hurry up!)
Saturday was a pretty easy day. The kids got up and did a few chores, and were all set to take it easy and watch OSU host OU for Bedlam basketball. Emma and the M-O Lady Panthers were in a tournament in Coyle, so I secretly caught a ride with Nana and Grandpa to take in her last game, while Lara watched Jake and Finn. Emma drove us back to Perkins after the game, and I went back home while she stayed with Nana and Grandpa. That's where she tried her hand at plumbing and installed a new kitchen sink for them.

Sunday, the Stillwater crew got up a little earlier than our usual lazy Sunday mornings, for a Britt Weaver "adventure" day! We sure love these days! He says he's taking us on an adventure, and we just play along. (Lara had a heads up; I didn't want to mess up any other plans she already had). We ended up at Quail Springs Mall in Edmond for a 10;30am showing of the Sing Along version of The Greatest Showman! The boys were thrilled! It was the 3rd time for Jake, Dad and I to see the movie, and the 2nd for Lara and Finn. Plus, we could sing - LOUDLY - and it was OK! Such a fun adventure.
After the movie and lunch, it was off to Solid Rock for Jake's jr nba 3v3 league to start. He had 2 games, but first we got to watch the OKC Thunder "Storm Chasers" put on a little show and throw out some free swag. Pretty fun way to kick of this league! Nana and Grandpa brought Emma, so we could all watch Jake's team win both of their games, and we all got to celebrate Grandpa's birthday!
All in all, a pretty fun weekend. Hard to believe January has gone so fast and we only have one more weekend left this month, I wonder what it holds in store for the Twisters?
