Air rifle practice today consisted of a practice match. There is a match tomorrow, but Ysabela isn’t feeling ready enough to compete. Instead, we are going to watch how things are done.
Prone and kneeling netted better scores today!
Bela’s top scores were 140 and 153.
Tonight Bela was shooting in the kneeling position for the most part. I see improvement!
A tiny bit of graham cracker crust topped by marshmallows and coconut with a spot of strawberry jelly equals one tasty snack. Ysabela and I discovered the Sponch snacks when we lived in Mexico. Imagine our joy when we found the same snack in Wal-Mart!
Jersey might run the next time we have a snow day!
Tonight I spent some of my valuable time to attend a wonderful webinar hosted by Lee Binz. You can find her online at the links below. Binz is a knowledgeable, experienced homeschool mom who willingly helps others succeed. She spent over an hour sharing her expertise with a crowd of eager parents/teachers. I was glad I got in on this webinar because now I feel much calmer about creating my daughter’s homeschool transcript. Let me say now that when I attend a webinar, I’m usually up for coffee or something, but tonight I had on headphones and was glued to my chair!
Binz gave freebies during the webinar, and at the end, she offered some of her most useful products for purchase. I hadn’t thought about buying anything, but I realized that I really wanted (and needed) some of her transcript templates. When I bought the bundle for the economical price of $47, I received freebies worth so much more!
If you are a homeschool parent, you should really check out what she has to offer. It just might change your whole perspective.
I took a personal day to head to North Platte to do some errands, and Bela and I made time to stop by Candy’s Cupcakery. Cassandra, the owner, made Ysabela’s cake for her 15th birthday party last year. There were so many tasty looking items that it was hard to choose! Bela finally settled on a piece of chocolate cheesecake, and I ordered a giant (and I mean giant!) sticky bun. It’s about the size of a dinner plate! We were so stuffed from Dairy Queen, however, that we are saving our treats until tomorrow. My sticky bun will be a wonderful breakfast in the morning. 🙂
For those in North Platte or anywhere close enough to visit, you shouldn’t miss the chance to stop in and say hello. Just in case you didn’t know, Candy’s Cupcakery offers soups as well as sweets. The cupcakes have filling inside, and Cassandra’s cakes are spectacular.
Bela’s treat looks awesome!
I can’t wait for breakfast!
Many people I have talked to swear their pets are more accurate weather forecasters than the those on the Weather Channel. I happen to agree. My cats were literally bouncing off the walls this morning. I knew it was going to be an interesting day!
Poppy started her day by opening the cabinets and drawers at every opportunity. Usually Smokey is involved, but she was too busy playing chase with Lil Devil.
Poppy was practicing her cat burglar skills.
The snow started gently enough….
This is later in the afternoon.
This was taken after dark.
My little cats knew we were getting more than an inch or two of snow. This isn’t the first time they’ve been right!
On the way to the doctor’s office yesterday, Bela and I had the chance to take some pictures in spite of feeling icky. We even mustered the energy to take some shots on the way home.
The clouds were amazing.
I was interested in the cloud bank.
We slowed to watch a cattle drive.
Every time we have passed this, I have wanted to stop, and this time we did!
Who doesn’t love Smokey?
Bela and I came out of the bedroom to see this looking back at us. We were a little scared….
