February 2026 Randoms

Bought and finished a puzzle

S and Elaina

The leak from the ice storm was quite 
involved - master bathroom

Future Teacher Association

C celebrated Kai's bday at Main Event and dinner at
a Japanese Steakhouse - almost lost his eyebrows with this one!

S and I went prom dress shopping

My gym closed:(

I learned to play 2 person mahjong

Since my gym closed and S doesn't use her membership, I 
took her swipe and started going back to Crunch until
I decide on a more permanent solution

Preseason Soccer Tournament

SCS had their preseason soccer tournament the past few days!  They went 3-0 and didn't allow any goals to be scored!  Well done boys!!

DECA State 2026

S attended the state competition for DECA in Charleston this week!  She loves participating in DECA so much!  She advanced to the second round, but fell just short of making it to the international competition next month!  But, what a time and what an experience she enjoyed over the past 4 days!

Sunday Brunch with Gigi

Gigi made a quick trip to Greenville for Sunday brunch at one of our favorites, Select, and a visit!

Unity Park

M and I spent the morning walking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, eating at PKL Park and then climbing to the top of Unity Tower.  It was such a gorgeous day to be spontaneous!

Winter Break at the Lake

C had this week off of school.  He spent the first three days working for M learning how to run a wheel loader.  Him and I then escaped to the lake for a beautiful few days of Keowee Therapy!!

Valentine's Day

The kids' goodies

S had to work and they were selling
bouquets so she put one aside for C 
to take to Phoebe

With both kids out, we had a night out at
a new-to-us place, Augusta Pharmacy

flowers and cards

Phoebe's mom had them do the paint each
other challenge - hilarious!

Soccer Alumni Scrimmage

C had his first game as a SCS varsity soccer player tonight! Coach organized to have an alumni game and it was quite impressive how many boys came back to play, many not just from the last year or two, but from maybe 6 or 7 years ago!  So amazing!  Our varsity boys won 4-1, but most impressive was the camaraderie and willingness for the older boys to want to come back!

I love how Coach pulls them off and talks
to them and explains what he's seeing and
what he wants them to do when they go back in!
The best way to learn is in the moment instruction!!

Current and past players

Sabre Week

SCS had their high school SabreWeek where kids are able to go on a mission trip, do local service projects or intern for a week.

C chose to stay local and signed up to help at a Unicorn Farm(goats!).  He spread hay, laid mulch, painted and more!  Baby goats were born while they were there! They kept the kids plenty busy!

C is Driving

C finally got his license this afternoon and promptly drove himself to soccer practice:)

A few days ago he had his final driving session and passed 
the driving test!

Mahj Bday Celebration

We celebrated Ginger today with the best lunch and laughs!  She's an easy one to celebrate!  Happy birthday!
