January extras

Cub Scout fire station field trip

Grace was learning about being proud.  How sweet that she is proud of her brothers!

Dental appointments for the kids - Grace's first - no cavities for any of them!!!

I mustache you a question.

Grace wanted to sleep in sponge rollers so she would have curly hair the next day.

roasting marshmallows and fort building

Grace moved up to a big girl class at church.  She's now a "Sunbeam".

baby it's cold outside

Leo was the first one out for this snow.  I took these pictures from his bedroom window while I was watching him in the backyard.

Grace really didn't want to go outside but I got her to go out for a few minutes.  It was very cold and windy so none of us stayed out for too long.

Then we went inside and made snow ice cream.

There's snow place like home, inside and warm, when it's cold and snowy.

two days off

As if the kids hadn't already had enough time off of school with snow days, virtual days and a holiday, two teacher work days were thrown in at the end of January.  We went to the children's museum for one of the days.

I didn't realize how ninja-like Leo looks with his black mask on.

The only eggs Leo can have.

Grace got to do a story time there and she loved it.

On the second teacher work day, we went to a new thrift store and I let the kids pick out one item each.

Grace got a new princess puzzle and Leo got a new exercise ball (the green one).

Harrison got a new (and his biggest) nerf gun.
