Today is Super Bowl Sunday, I don't care who is playing. All I want is a game good that ends at a decent time. Tiffany and I did a trip to Sams on Friday afternoon, we got some goodies, David will drop by later as we watch the game in HD, one of the great technological advances of our time. On the menu is wings, meatballs and Tiff's favorite....mozzarella sticks. Maybe I'll have a drink or two.

We had another busy week......here were some highlights:

Monday: It was warm, 50 degrees. Besides work and school, Gabe had Show Choir practice from 5-8. From 6-8 was the Garfield School Skate party at the rink in Eldridge. We all skated a ton, Tiff and I didn't fall, but Abbi and Elli fell a few times. Pictures? Well sure.......

Abbi, Amber, Miranda, Claire, and Abby

Marissa, Lauren, Elli, Carly and Claire

On Tuesday we were planning on attending the big game, Central hosting Bettendorf. Tiffany was planning on working the booster club table selling merchandise. But....old man weather hit town with blizzard like conditions, schools let out everywhere in the area at noon, canceling all evening events, including Abbi's basketball practice. After Monday's 50 degree day, Tuesday the temp dropped below zero. Of course the bad weather wouldn't keep Gabe down, a visit to the mall was a must! Being at home allowed us to watch American Idol though, one of our favorites!

On Wednesday Tiffany normally has Girl Scouts, she switches meetings for both troops every other week. But a fifth Wednesday in January left an open date, so no meeting was planned. Thanks to all who purchased Cookies.....the girls sold 416 boxes between them.....or should I say....'Thanks-A-Lots'!

Thursday Elli had basketball practice and Gabe had a soccer game at the Sports Dome, I had a late work meeting at Old Chicago (free drinky!), it started snowing bad, we got like 4 inches.

Friday Abbi stayed home from school, she was coughing and running a temperature. Gabe had Show Choir practice after school, I worked for Mediacom, Moline at Rock Island.

Saturday Gabe had to be at school at 6:15am to board a bus to Mount Pleasant (less than 2 hours) for a Show Choir competition. Tiffany picked him up about 2am from school, he's alittle moody today. Abbi didn't play in her basketball game, she got me up a couple times with her coughing, so I didn't get much sleep. I took Elli to Marshall Gym as Central and Bettendorf played their make up game from Tuesday, the gym was packed, Central won 51-40, it wasn't very close, the Blue Devils now have a 2 game conference lead over Bettendorf with a couple weeks left, back to back MAC titles in reach! We sat with the Grahams, who live a few houses down the street, Elli got to play with Carly.

Here's a good photo Tiffany took a couple of weeks ago. Elli is shooting, you can see the ball faintly. And yes....she made the shot!

Video.... you ask? OK, here is some clips from Abbi playing basketball 2 weeks ago.
