Super Bowl Fun

We watched the Super Bowl at home. We stopped by the grocery store and picked up some Girl Scout cookies to have along with our other Super Bowl goodies. Now that we no longer have a Girl Scout in the house, we have to track cookies down elsewhere!


We weren't rooting for either team, really, so Matt set up the outside lights for both teams. :)


The game was not too exciting as you can tell by the attention we are paying to the TV. Ha!


More Team MC basketball

Morgan's team played against Glenbard East again this weekend on Saturday. This time it was an away game. Glenbard East is a huge high school! The game this weekend did not go as well for the girls. They started out really slow and tired. They were losing 10-1 at the end of the 1st quarter. They managed to tie it up by halftime. It was close the rest of the game and they managed to win by 1 point at the end.

On Sunday, Morgan's team played against Western Springs, who are in first place in our league with a record of 10-1. We already lost to them once this season. Morgan's team got down pretty quickly and just could never get back up. They actually tied them for points during the second half, but since they were already down by so much the first half, they just couldn't pull off the win.

Impromptu sleepover

The girls were hanging with friends Friday night and asked if they could have a couple friends over for a sleepover. Then, I got a text from Avery that five girls were coming over! :) Luckily, we still have stuff from their birthday slumber party a while ago, so I set up the family room for them. Morgan had to go to bed early (like 11pm) and sleep in her own room because she had a basketball game in the morning. But, the other girls were up until the early AM. I brought Milo upstairs and slept in the guest room with him. After the last time we let him upstairs and he ate another sock, I made sure to clean out the room super good before letting him loose in there!

All ready to go!

He was very excited to be upstairs again!

He finally crashed after giving up on getting to sleep downstairs with the girls!

Dentist

The girls had a check-up at the dentist on Wednesday morning. Both girls did great and were cavity free! Avery does have a spot inside one of her teeth that they are watching. It formed when her teeth were developing and the enamel grew over the spot. Not totally uncommon, I guess. This is our second time at the dentist's new location. It's pretty nice with TVs on the ceiling. The girls watched YouTube shorts during their appointments.


While we were there, they told us that Avery's carrier (orthodontic gear) had come loose, so we had to visit the orthodontist later that day as well!

Team MC Game vs Glenbard East

Morgan's team won against Glenbard East 41-26. It was a more physical team, so the girls were getting a little more beat up that normal. :) Morgan got to shoot quite a few free throws. One time she got hit in the eye pretty good, but luckily she didn't end up with a black eye!

She stole the ball!
