Report Card Field Trip

My 3 sons did a FABULOUS job during the 2nd quarter of school...& their FABULOUS straight A report cards were proof of that! Report cards came home on Monday & we were super proud of how hard the boys have worked & the great marks they received for academics & behavior.

As a reward, I decided to take them on a "Great Report Card Surprise Field Trip" on Friday after school!!

First, we stopped at Sonic during happy hour for fruit/Nerd slushies. I was happy to have this as part of the trip since Sonic & slushies are my fave!! (Wink, wink!)

I have the Sonic app & I'm on their text list, so I'm always getting coupons, freebies, & the latest deals! I also got a couple gift cards for Christmas. Did I mention that Sonic is totally my fave?!

Next, we went to Krispy Kreme for FREE doughnuts. They have a great incentive program. At the end of each quarter, students can bring in report cards & get a free doughnut (of their choice) for each A!! This is a popular program & the place was packed.The boys were thrilled to get their boxes of doughnuts; one of the nice young guys even gave me my doughnuts free. Score!

The place was PACKED!! I guess lots of kids were eager to redeem those good grades for doughnuts! 

By the time we arrived back home, Daddy was back from his recruiting trip & we had a nice dinner & evening at home together. This was a great start to a long weekend (no school Monday!).

Proud of our smart guys & happy to celebrate their great work at school!

Lunch Date

So my hubby spent the first half of the week in San Antonio at the annual Coaches' Convention. He flew back in town Tuesday night. Recruiting started up again on Thursday (& will go strong until signing day in early February), so....that left Wednesday. ONE DAY nestled in between these crazy busy work days.

We took advantage of this time by spending the entire day together...just me & my hubby...oh, AND our daughter...AND her baby.

After getting all the boys off to school & having a lazy morning, the hubs took me out for a lunch date. It was nice to have a day together to hang out. :)

There's our other date in the backseat with one of her babies. She sang & hugged & patted her baby the whole way there...

Good food & good company made for a fun day & great lunch date!

Sweet 16

So if you know us, you know we always support & are number one fans of our favorite coach & wherever he's coaching...but Alabama is always our team. I graduated from there, Tim played & coached there, my sis played there, & on & on. My children have been (& continue to be) brought up hardcore Bama fans. We always ROLL WITH THE TIDE!!!

Anyway, Bama played in the national championship last night...against a VERY GOOD undefeated Clemson. Tim was in San Antonio at the Coaches' Convention, but the rest of us enjoyed cheering on (panicking, holding our breaths, hyperventilating, pacing) the Tide...to victory & their 16th national championship!!

I must start with a few pics of my precious girl in her darling Bama dress! This was one of the (MANY) dresses she got from my Mother at Christmas. So, so adorable...one of my new faves!!

There are lots of Bama fans at Tanner's school. They cracked me up with the Nick Saban cutout during carpool!

The "Bammer" Bunch

Love their game faces!
