Thoughts on Thursday

February is flying. The boys are back at school today after two "snow" days. Between the snow days, weekends, and being sick, N's been at school once in the past 12 days. He's been living it up and hasn't missed school at all. 


Yesterday was the big UNC v Duke game. I've mentioned before that we have lived two years with DirecTV or cable so usually we can't watch games (which in all honesty is the only thing we miss from having the service). We listen on the radio or go to a sports bar. Well, a new option came on the market a couple weeks ago and since then we've been enjoying televised sports once more! 



They offer the whole line up of ESPNs along with some other networks like ABC Family. They still have some kinks to work out but so far it's been awesome. It's $20 a month, which completely beats the $100 we paid for DirecTV.

 This is how we felt at the end. 
We'll see you again dookies, we will see you again.

I've become addicted to Smocking Hot Mama's on Facebook. I used to check Facebook once a week or so and I'm searching this group any free chance I've get. I've purchased a few adorable things so far and it's making me excited for consignment season! My latest purchases:


Last, I was searching for something to read (I am really really picky about what I read) and had two people mention Harry Potter in one week so I started the series. I'm on book 4 and so far so good. I know I saw the first movie but I don't remember it. I'm wondering if the others are worth watching. 

I used to check my phone during the looong carpool wait, but then I thought I'd read and set a great example for T. He hasn't quite caught on. He likes to perform stunts in the van or take pictures - hence the ones below:

  1. We have to have satellite for our TV service because of where we live. I'd love to find a cheaper option that's for sure. We're on day #4 of snow days and while I'm loving it now I'll pay dearly once we're back lol.
