Dress as a book character...

Abby had to dress as a book character and she chose Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, pretty proud of the outfit we put together since she told us the night before.  As a side note, I can't brag enough about her reading habits, she is on the 4th Harry Potter Book, this school year she has read 3 (each book is between 400-900 pages). 

 

Baker in the house...

Abby went to a baking class to make French Macaroons, they were delicious!

 

Wax Museum - Pee Wee Reese

Alex had his big 5th grade project where he had to research, write a paper, perform a speech and create a tri-fold board on an historical character, he chose Pee Wee Reese.  His teacher couldn't say enough good things about how well his speech went and how well he engaged his audience.  So proud of him and his wonderful work ethic!

 

 

Abby...

Shopping with Abby is always a blast!  She definitely lights up the room everywhere she goes, love this girl of mine!

 

 

Fieldtrip with Alex...

I was able to spend the day chaperoning Alex's field trip to WaterStep and Frazier Hisotry Museum, it was a fun day, all of the kids had a blast!

Benji is 1...

Benji turned 1 on February 14th, we made him his own pupcake decorated with plain yogurt and squeeze cheese, he loved it!!

 

Father Daugher Dance

 Abby and JB enjoyed the father daughter dance, she was a dancing queen!

 



Random January pictures...

We had a fun January, kids competed in an arcade on a driving game, Abby baked a cake (which was delicious) and Alex's team won their first basketball game!  We also went snow tubing, which was so much fun!  Abby is signed up for gymnastics and she is improving each week!
