Today we had another game against a team that was a foot taller than everyone on my team. We held our own for as long as we could but there's no competing with a team of 7th graders when we're in 5th grade. 

 

                                        

We tried our hardest, we had fun and we were happy to have Daddy, Mama and Uncle Shaun there to watch me play!

                                          

                                       

                                          

Then I was off to fencing. Saturdays are for fencing, and basketball, and soccer and whatever other sport is on the docket this season. But I had fun with Conall today!

   

   

Later we met up with Nana, Papi, Auntie Rita and our cousins at the Stained Glass Pub for an early dinner!

   

   

And we ran into some of the Wards having dinner too!

   

Then we all headed over to my game at Kennedy High School. It was nice to have my own cheering squad!

   

   

And Jax got to run around with his buddy Gus and some other friends...

                                      

We played well and kicked some butt! It was a fun Saturday night!

   

   

   

   

                                      

Today was a half day of school and also our second day back after recovering from covid (mama and I were sick and isolated all last week) and it was also the 5th/6th grade cosmic bowling party at White Oak bowling lanes!! Hooray! 

                                        

   

   

It was so fun to hang with my friends and bowl and have French fries and pizza! It was a really fun afternoon!

                                       

   

   

   

Later Mama's friend Zee brought over some baklava that he brought home from Turkey for Mama! She was so excited and she even shares them with us!

   

                                        

Boy were they delicious! We love food and baklava and food. Glad mama shared with us!

                                      

We did some good eating this week! We got to sample all of the Ramen that we picked out from H Mart and Mama doctored them up with some pork, eggs and edamame! It was delicious! 

                                    

Later in the week Mama made birria style tacos in the instant pot and boy were they delicious! We hope that this one is going on our regular rotation because everyone enjoyed this Taco Tuesday dinner!

   

                                        

Then Finn was an awesome big brother as he helped me with my math homework. He was patient and he knew exactly how to do the problems and how to tell me to work them out. It was really nice of him.

                                      

                                       

And on this special Friday that I had no school we got to have a very special day with MeMa and PopPop! First I got my very first pedicure along with my family. It was really nice!

   

   

                                       

Then MeMa and PopPop treated us to Toucan Taco in Laurel. We can't believe they've never been there. Daddy was of course in heaven! It was such a fun afternoon.

   

Later Daddy and Mama went to Baby Cat Brewery to help celebrate Mrs. Collin's birthday. They had a fun time!

   

                                    

I got to spend the night at Tobias's house last night after we went back and forth to Pinecrest to play in the snow 16 times yesterday! It was fun! 

 

Liam got to spend the night at our house and in the morning his mom and brother brought over some yummy donuts. Woo Hoo! We had already had a fantastic breakfast that Mama made but there is never a bad time for DONUTS!

                                   

Then it was time for my basketball game. We got smoked again. It was a rough one...

                                   

                                    

Later Daddy and Mama took us to Tastee Diner in Bethesda! We sure do miss the Silver Spring Tastee but this one did not disappoint!

   

We got all the classics and boy was everything delicious  and so much fun!

   

   

And we got the whole back section to ourselves and Daddy got to watch the football game.

   

Tastee Bethesda, we will be back soon!!

 

 Well, we got home from the car show last night and we went to bed and then it started snowing and it kept snowing all night long and we got enough inches that there was NO SCHOOL TODAY!! Woo Hoo! So Mama and Daddy paid me to shovel the front walk way.

                                    

                                    

We got a good amount of snow! And we can really get used to this whole 1 day school week!

                                      

After shoveling it was off to Pinecrest to sled with our friends. We were out there for hours and hours and ran into lots of our classmates!

                                       

Liam and I also went out. We made some money shoveling then made our way to the field for a bit.

                                              

And we actually got a snow plow down our street! They didn't do much for clearing the snow but it was good to see...

   

Then Daddy made us a snow day lunch of champions! Nothing like some nugs and Mac n cheese to warm us up after being out in the snow! It was a great day!
