What a week for Vikings fans! Last Sunday, I parked myself on the couch for the entire game (which I never do) and even though I was tempted to turn it off, I stuck through it to the bitter/amazing end. I had given up hope and couldn't believe it when the Vikings pulled off the "Minnesota Miracle" in the last ten seconds. I was jumping up and down, and G was really confused if I was happy or sad, so I had to stop, give him a high five, and tell him it was all good.
Scott may have heard me yelling from the outside (he was shoveling snow) and came into the house, covered in snow and carrying the shovel. He's not much of a football fan, but with all of the news coverage of today's game, he certainly knows what's at stake with the game today.
That aside...we had a pretty good week. G is making progress on potty training...we didn't have nearly as many pairs of dirty underwear this week, as we did last week. That makes us all happy campers!
Ava had a pretty good week...she didn't have school on Monday or Friday. She had asked to participate in a dance clinic held at the high school on Friday. I dropped her off around 3 on Friday afternoon, she learned a routine, had a pizza dinner, and then performed at the halftime show for the girls varsity basketball game on Friday night. We decided it would be a bit of a nightmare to have G there (but, now that I know how loud it is, and that there's an area for kids to run around, he can certainly go in the future.) So, it was just me hanging out at a high school basketball game, waiting for the show to begin. It was fun watching the game, but I think it would be way more interesting if I knew someone who was playing!
When the Irishettes came out onto the floor, I was surprised at how many girls there were. WOW! There was a big turnout for this clinic! In any case, Ava had fun, but I asked her if she wanted to do it again, and got a "meh" from her. I then asked if she wanted to take dance classes and received a firm NO. So...we clearly don't have a dancer on our hands! And that's totally fine.
The rest of the weekend was spent at home, getting stuff done, with the exception of dinner out last night, and a super fun (where's my sarcasm font?) trip to Menards. By the time we got home last night, I was ready to shuttle everyone off into bed, just so I could have a few minutes of quiet time.
It's amazing what a good night's sleep will produce though...we're all in great moods this morning! Well, I haven't seen Ava yet, but she's usually pretty even keel with her moods, so I would be surprised if she wasn't cheery right now. She's probably being a tech monster and playing on one of her devices...
Time to get things moving...lots to do today, so I can park it for the game tonight! SKOL Vikings! Bring it home!

This is only half of the group of dancers...Ava's the one in the blue shirt with her hands in the air..hahaha
Just a small clip from their dance...

Maybe she's coding and building something amazing!
