We are going to finish up this school holiday....It's been short but oh so nice to have one extra day off. I'm not even going to think about how long it is until we have another!!!

Anyway, we took the kids to see Hotel for Dogs yesterday. Really cute. The kids really enjoyed it. And if you don't have a movie rewards card get one. They are terrific!!

I'm so proud of my boys, they brought their first little paper book home this weekend and I have had the pleasure of listening to them read it!!!!

MT had tumble cheer this afternoon for which nobody showed up but us....so private lesson and all!! Anyway she had got a pretty good cartwheel and is beginning to work on other more advanced things. I was watching this little girl do her back handsprings and I thought oh that will be MT in a few years. I asked her mom, How old is she, 1st or 2nd grade...no she is in Kindergarten(she's 6) oh my!!! Don't think we will quite be there next year!!!! They start young around here!!!


Have a great week!!!

WOW!! IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME!!

I read everybody's blogs and realized the other day how long it's been since I actually posted on my own!!! I have still not found my camera cord so i never post anything because I want to post pictures, too :(

Oh well....what's going on with us....

**The boys are playing Upward basketball(a definate adventure)
**I'm making chimpanzee costumes for the K5 circus play(lots of fun:)
**We have settled back into a routine at school.


We had a terrific Christmas!!! The kids all got a Nintendo DS and let me tell you they have been captivated. I wasn't sure if they were old enough yet but they LOVE them. They also got new bikes which they have really enjoyed riding at my parent's house. We have the worst street in the world to learn to ride a bike on even with training wheels!!!

Tonight we are enjoying yummy pizza and a movie(The Chronicles of Narnia) we have never seen it. MT says it's scary so we'll see. I'm off to pop popcorn and get warm.
