Feels Like Saturday But It's Wednesday in KC

Eva, Marlena and Ella Enjoying the Frosting

Cookie Crazy

A lazy Wednesday, Nick's still sleeping, Tom just went off to work and we are sitting here, watching Justin Bieber on TV, Mary, Evie, Marlena, and me.  A bit cloudy but it's supposed to clear up and warm up for a day or two, not so for the East Coast, which looks as though it's having terrible traveling weather.

Enjoying the B-Ball Game at Sprint Center, in KC

We spent much of yesterday in Best Buy, trying to get our Sirius Radio fixed; we waited around for over an hour, took it home, didn't work, went back, dropped it off, then went back and hour later and picked it up and, viola, it works.  What a waste of a day.

I took Bella for a walk and just as we finished, Nick came home, about 3:00, no practice, no school for five days.  The family(except for Marlena) went to a wake around 5:00.  Marlena had two friends, Ava and Ella, over to decorate cookies with Evie.  Clearly, they enjoyed themselves, silly and fun, like little girls tend to be.  Both girls were originals and it was fun watching Marlena be silly with them.  Mary picked up a pizza for dinner for the girls.

KC High School Band

At 6:00, Tom, Nick and I went downtown to the Sprint Center in Kansas City for the finals of the College tournament, Missouri facing California.  We went last year, courtesy of Tom's friend, Cory, a real fan.  We ate burgers at Gordon's Brewery Pub, packed with fans and were lucky to get a table in the bar area, otherwise it was a 45 minute wait.  The games were both one sided, though the first half was pretty good.  Much of the fun was watching the local high school band and cheerleaders, there to support teams from afar.  Because the game featured the local favorite Missouri, the center was filled with rabid MU fans, dressed in yellow sweats or shirts.  The cameras during timeouts would focus on fans and if you were wearing a blue Kansas sweat like Nick, the camera would find you, put you on the JumboTron and then the fans would boo.  Nick just managed to get in the edge of one of the pictures, which he enjoyed.

We left early because MU was up by 30 points and both Tom and Nick were really tired.  We got home around 11:15, Tom and Nick ate up the pizza left over from the girls' dinner, and watched some of the KU game on TV from Maui.  I went to bed soon after getting home.  A good half of day.
