When Things Don't Go As Planned

We had planned a fun  trip to Omaha with the Croghan's for the weekend.  However, as we were just blocks away from home, we learned that poor Bella was sick with the flu and we decided to just stay home for the weekend.

Needless to say, the boys were crushed.  And we were all pretty bummed on Friday night....but we have made new plans with our friends and are keeping our fingers crossed for an ill-free get together with them in February!

So we have been making the best of our unexpected weekend at home which included a couple of play dates for the boys yesterday and a family game of bowling after church today.

And even though we may not have the best bowling games in town....we always come up with some awesome bowling names for the board.  This time we were all Mario Bros characters.

Mitchell was Mario, Chad was Luigi, I was Peach and Collin was Bowser.  Good thing we weren't meant to rescue the princess today.....Luigi was the only one to break 100 and we were bowling WITH bumpers!
