There was no HFFF post last week (I went a different route for this year's Valentine's Day post), so we have a little catching up to do!
One
The Lads won out the front half of district play, which was fantastic given that they had both a tie and a loss early on. Here are a few of my favorite shots of Will from those first six district games:

Teacher Appreciation Night Will invited his sophomore/senior year (and favorite) English teacher, Mrs. Calvert, and I love this adorable picture of them. |
We took a second pic when everyone got home. |
Two
Prior to the Montgomery game, Tom and I visited a local establishment - The Cozy Grape - with friends. I can't believe we haven't been doing this all along - having plans ahead of away games makes the anxiety-ridden couple of hours prior so much less stressful!
Three
Last Monday night we hosted our annual (and last 😢) Lads team dinner. The boys have loved our "breakfast for dinner" theme these last three years - we order breakfast tacos and serve them alongside them cinnamon rolls, fruit, orange juice, milk, and chocolate milk - and I think everyone had a great time once again.
Four
Last Wednesday night Hallie and I attended a "Contest Show Off" performance - all four BCS high schools participated - to watch her friend Abby and others perform with their drill teams. We saw so many impressive dances, and it's great fun for us to see friends shine in other dance genres and environments.
Five
Will had a daytime appointment last week, so we went out for lunch afterwards (you know, before he went back to school and ate second lunch with his friends). I'm soaking up every last little bit of time I can with him these day...

I don't usually go overboard on holidays, but I do have little traditions I try to keep alive for the kids. Our Valentine's Day tradition is a scavenger/treasure hunt - inspired by those my dad used to make for me and my sister when we were little - for their (small) Valentine's Day gift. Hallie publically loves it, and while Will probably wouldn't admit to enjoying it, these pics of Will and Hallie running through the house (and trying to keep each from getting to the next clue, which has become part of the fun) prove otherwise.
Before our scavenger hunt, I went to a birthday party for a beautiful friend (I hate that I forgot to take a picture), where I got to meet her husband, catch up briefly with old friends, and meet a couple of new friends as well. All in all, a great Valentine's Day.
Pretty basic, but delicious! |
Popeye and I wore our matching heart sweaters on Valentine's Day. Contrary to the vibe he's giving off in this picture, he kind of likes dressing up. |
Seven
On Sunday we saw The Theater Company's production of The Sound of Music. As is always the case with their shows, this one was excellent!
Eight
My niece, Lily, and her middle school cheer team won State!
Nine
My nephew, Carter (of Carter's Cash fame), and my soon-to-be SIL Kayla celebrated birthdays this week!
