Pep Banding It

But first: R's dear former roommate Kate is coming to play indoor soccer with R, and then spend the night with us tonight, so we did us some housecleaning this morning. I also crocheted and made a couple more yo-yos. Eventually I hope to make it back down to the sewing nook and do some real damage. 

Outside, the streets are finally thawing and will be walkable again soon, and I needn't spend my evenings waiting in the driveway for B's friend to come along and offer a ride. 

And now: The Main Event. Today we're playing Lane College women's and men's basketball teams and the pep band is providing stellar pep and entertainment. The refs like us, at least. 
I still really like our shirts. 

Prior to the first game, Hubby and I grabbed some McD's for my lunch and chatted in the car. I told him that I think it's time to call our realtor. As I stood washing dishes earlier, the thought occurred to me that we really do just need a bigger house. We're settled, we're stable, no one's going anywhere for a while, and we're just cramped. As much as I love our property and neighborhood, the place is just too dang small for all of us. 

Back to the game: These people found me

There's always time for yo-yos.

After the games: Kate arrived, pizza for dinner, and the indoor soccer games happened (R got two assists!). I stayed home and ended up calling Brother E - we chatted for quite a while. Then the soccer group came home. 

It was a busy, but great day.
