I don’t think I got one good photo but we did have a fun time at the beach with our friend Sara and her sons. Plus we got to see our friend Jenna and her family which was great but I didn’t even get out my camera then. The kids did get to see little sharks down on the beach late at night which was very cool.

I posted a few before but here are all sixty photos from the party!
Fhew, what a great birthday this turned out to be! Hayley had Emma, Kennedy and Mason over and they started with manicures and pedicures at Sweet and Sassy, the limo ride, dinner at Ginza, a Japanese steakhouse, then home for cake, Wii, movies and sleepover.

And then they went up to the playroom to watch Bolt until the week hours… I made waffles that morning and they played for video games and everyone headed home about mid-day.
We went to visit one of my old friends from college Temple and hang out with her sons. It was so good to talk to her and catch up with her husband Adam and sons Max and Jackson. Temple and I cracked up so much that her oldest son Max and Hayley became fast friends and happily played together for nearly six hours.
A lot of really hysterical memories came back. Dang we had a good time in college.

On the morning of my field trip to Old Salem, I had to get up at 6:00 a.m. and I left the house at 6:30 a.m. to get to school. And the reason we had to be at school at 6:30 a.m. is because we were ridding on charter bus and they were leaving with everyone on them exactly at 7:00. It was a 2 hour trip there and back so altogether it was a 4 hour trip.
First of all I should tell you what chaperone group I am in. The chaperone that I was with was Justin’s mom. So when we were on the unguided tour we went to the Brothers tavern first and we saw how girls would get colorful ribbons to show if they were married, engaged, looking for someone right, or even still to young to marry.
The next place we went to was the printers and it had a printer that they mint have used in the old days. Then we went to the bakery and bought some stuff. I bought a Dr. Pepper and then when I left the bakery I opened my drink but when we decided to go to the doctors house we didn’t know that we couldn’t bring in drinks so I drank the whole can of Dr. Pepper when I had just started to drink it.
But anyway inside the doctor’s house we saw all the metical stuff the doctor would use to operate on his patients. See when the doctor came to your house to operate on the sick one your kitchen table would become his operation table so you would lay on the table and be operate on and then when it was all over you could gently get off.
After that we had lunch and since it was pretty cold that day, the people that worked at Old Salem tried to give everyone in the 4th grade a nice warm sunny place to sit and eat lunch. So then after lunch some of the chaperones were taking some kids to the gift shop and I bought some things like a pen for my mom and a little journal for me then once we all were done with the gift shop we got back on the bus and went back home.

Nicole and Mason came up to visit us for a few days and I fear I was a terribly boring host this time – the night they arrived I slipped in a wet parking lot and bashed up my knee. Thank goodness she is an old friend and always happy to just sit around, talk and let the kids play. We did the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt which was lots of fun for the munchins!

We always love for Hayley to do the UNC-VT game since it is always a rivalry game here in our family! She was all excited this time because she could finally fit in a pair of shorts they had. She’s growing up.
I love the photos at the end of her singing the UNC fight song down on the court after the game and then with Jeff.

Also another cute set of photos from the game of the birthday of long-time UNC women’s game announcer and professor Jan Boxill. I went to high school with her daughters and just happened to snap some photos to share with them. Regular view (easiest to find one in particular or print) Slideshow view (easiest to see them all)
I picked up 25 tickets for Hayley’s basketball team and families to go to the UNC-Duke women basketball game at the Dean Dome. Most of the girls were UNC fans but one was a serious Duke fan, bless her heart. Everyone had a great time, cheering and running around. And of course, UNC won!
(The Storm is 10-1 heading into the last weekend of the regular season and already has the top seed the playoffs locked up, which gives them a bye for the opening round! But they’ve got some injuries to deal with so who knows what’ll happen.)

Several of my friends named it Snowbama day since we got six inches on Tuesday the day of the inauguration of President Obama, it made me chuckle so I keep using it. Besides all we did that day was either snow or inauguration related anyway.
