Coffee for Breakfast

We are back! Missouri was great. This was my first trip to Branson. It was beautiful. We only spent one day in Branson but it was a full day. We managed to go to The Butterfly Palace, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and the Shanghai Circus. We all loved the Chinese acrobrats. They were awesome. We spent the first week of our trip in Springfield. Our daughters competed in the National Homeschool Basketball Championships. They placed 2nd in the 5A division. Kaitlyn also received an All American award. We look forward to next year and have plans to see lots shows in Branson next time. I will post pictures later of our trip. It was great to "get away" for a week, but it sure is nice to be home.

The newest crochet blanket is coming along nicely. I ran out of black yarn and I need to buy some cute little buttons to finish it. I plan to do that tomorrow. We are working hard today preparing for our spring break trip. We will be headed to Missouri early next week for the National Homeschool Basketball Championships. We are looking forward to taking a road trip. The break is always nice. We are getting the house cleaned so our return home will be nice also. I will try to post pictures later of the blanket in progress. For now I will post some pictures of how Aubree spent her morning. She loves crafts and I found this project this morning for a yarn bowl.

In the next few days (hopefully) this will become a sweet little girly blanket with a little bit of punk rock twist.

Here are some cool basketball pictures from the season...

As basketball season is wrapping up for the year we were wondering what to do with all of our extra time! Well, last night we found the solution. We signed Aubree up for soccer! Yes, sometimes I feel like I'm crazy. I don't really need to add to my already "too long to get anything finished" list. But I think that Aubree has seen enough of the inside of a gym. We are ready for an outdoor activity. As far as the other girls go, they are ready for a b-r-e-a-k. We still have the National Basketball Tournament (which is always a blast). Then we have our banquet. After that we all look forward to cheering on the youngest Bracknell doing her thing.
