Bingo and Steak

Last Thursday, Aden and I moved the tv to the basement.  In case I didn't mention it, the tv in the basement fell and broke.  So we ordered a new one.  The basement has become Aden's man cave so he was really upset about the missing tv.  
Not sure what's going on here.  
What's up baby?

The new tv arrived!
Not sure what's going on here either.  
Eli working on his spelling words.  
Last Friday, I printed Vecna's clock from Stranger Things.  
Eli and his friends doing some early morning viewing.  
Amy went with friends to Atlantic City for the weekend!
They had lunch when they got to the Borgata.  
Ariel wanted to peel the film from the new tv.  
So satisfying.
Ariel got a package from Edikted!  So excited!
Amy's dinner at Old Homestead Steak House.  
Mark took the girls to the daddy daughter dance.  So pretty!
I took the twins to Bingo at the school.  We have been going to this twice a year for over 10 years.  Usually, it's not regular Bingo.  They have to make various letters instead of just five in a row.  Not this year!  I'm curious as to what happened.  Someone told me it's because the kids are getting dumber!  Lol.  
Noah is always ready to play.  He takes it seriously.  Eli and his friends just run around.  

Eli and Paul played for a few minutes then we had to take over their boards.  
Little Jakey next door was a big winner!
The final game, you have to fill the whole board.  
It was so loud and chaotic.  I got a headache!
Meanwhile, the girls were having fun!  Have a great weekend!

Back to School

Last Tuesday, Ariel was excited to debut her bedazzled water bottle.  They had a two hour delay.  The streets were a mess.  
Every morning she asks why I make her come to this place!  
I walked the boys up to school through all the snow.  
It was kind of pretty.



That night, Ariel had lacrosse.  This place is so crazy.  


It was a good practice.  
Great job girls!
Last Wednesday, they should have had another two hour delay because the there was some snow overnight and the roads were bad again.  The district realized they made a mistake and excused all lateness.  Aden went in on time but Ariel went back to bed for a bit!
Ben and Kameron are merit scholars!
I'm sad.  I really want to use the grill and the smoker.  When will the snow go away?  It's a week later as I type this and the deck is still covered in snow!
Aden made cutlets.  
This tv was going to the basement when the new one came.

Starbucks in a Blizzard

Last Monday, we woke up to a Winter wonderland.  
Obviously there was no school.  
I guess I couldn't open the back door.  
Eli made us pancakes.  
We realized that the 3d printer shoots out pieces when it changes colors.  Turns out, this is called filament poop!  I eventually 3d printed a basket to catch them!
Somehow, Ariel got her friend's mom to pick her up and take them to Starbucks.  No blizzard can stop Starbucks!  

Lol.  Ariel and her friends made the news!


For some reason, the rest of us felt stuck in the house.  
I did open the door to get a shot.  
Eli went out for a little.  
Snowball fight!
The numbers started coming in.  We got over 20 inches!
Eli printed a Welcome to Hawkins sign.  
Eli is a cooking monster all the sudden.  He made his French toast.  
Then he helped massage Ariel!
