I think I can I think I can I think I can

Every time I get a sub job, I text Neal and say how many more jobs are left until we pay ourselves back for December's plumbing work. Little by little...

District-Wide Competition

Sophie spent many a Tuesday afternoon with a small group of upper graders studying  to recognize 40 select paintings, titles, and artists' names to compete against other elementary schools in the district. The fourth grade team took 5th place of 17 schools! What this means to us as parents is that Sophie is willing to try new things and stick with it. What this means to Sophie is pizza party!

Hockey!

Because Neal's employer is a sponsor to our local hockey team they often provide free tickets. This has changed our family's (okay, Neal's) favorite sport from baseball to hockey!

The New Year

On our way to the Andersons for a New Year's Eve party, this was my Facebook post:
"The Four Seasons "December '63/Oh, What a Night--I love that song every time I hear it!"

On the way back from the Anderson's later that night, this was my Facebook post:
"Nothing says Happy New Year like your kid throwing up in the car on the way home from a party!"

I think that pretty much sums it up.  We had a Family Home Evening lesson on Monday about what's acceptable behavior for buffet style eating.

Enjoyed getting all the Christmas stuff put away and watching the Rose Parade with the kids.
