Sorry for the absence...

Nathan and I joined a bunch of other Ross students and partners for a fun night of whirlyball. Now, I'd never heard of it before, yet alone played it! But, after a quick lesson in how to maneuver the electric scooter you ride in team red managed to win time and time again. You literally ride around in a scooter driving with one hand while trying to catch the ball with a plastic lacrosse-like-stick. Similar to basketball, you have to then ride down to your teams board, similary to a basket in bball, and shoot the ball perfectly into the hole in the middle of the board. It was actually a lot of fun for everyone...in fact, I don't think anyone wanted to leave! I even managed to score 2 pts! Nathan on the other hand scored about 20 pts! Great team effort...ha ha ha.



We were so thirsty after all that whirly ball. The natural choice of course was to get frozen margaritas and fishbowls. We were so thirsty, in fact, that we couldn't even stop drinking to smile for the picture. :)



In honor of St. Patrick's Day our Ross Partners Club meeting has a green theme for tonight. On Sunday I made a double batch of sugar cookie dough and started baking shamrocks cut outs. Thank goodness for the eight friends that showed up to frost them...otherwise I'd still be doing it right now! Here are some photos of the beautiful shamrock creations. Katie was especially good at decorating when she used items from my Wilton cake decorating kit.

Just so you know...I've dyed milk, orange juice and 7up green for everyone to share. Ha!



Aren't Katie's cookies great? She has a hidden talent, I swear!
