This past week was a crazy one.  Busy with house stuff, kid events, work, visits for my mom and my husband being out of town and by Sunday, I was pooped.  But man did we have a great afternoon on Sunday.

My husband was a basketball coach along with another guy for our daughter's basketball team.  The coaches decided that they wanted to host a fun afternoon for the kiddos.  The other coach offered to host the day.  He and his wife did an amazing job with everything.
