We had a slow cold start to 2015! The weather was rainy and cold between Christmas and New Years, so we enjoyed staying in and having some quality family time. We are getting back in the groove with school back in session and both Jacob and Gwyn have started basketball...the Warriors and the Fruit Hoops. Pictures to come next week, the first games went really well, Gwyn and Jacob both scored 10 points each in their games. Jacob had a VIP poster to prepare for school the first week back, so we got pictures printed off and he put the whole thing together himself, I think it looked awesome!
Brian undertook building us a new cabinet that housed all of our dishes and glasses that had come off the wall and dropped 8", thankfully nothing was broken as the doors jammed everything inside. What does that say about us that in our garage we had everything you needed to build an entire cabinet? Jason stopped and picked up some wood glue, but aside from that, he had everything he needed. Jacob was a big help!
The kids and I went on a few very cold scooter rides while Brian was working:)
Free manual labor!
It looks awesome!
I painted it, it took 3 coats of paint!
We opted to leave the doors off for now, we will see if we add them in the future.
I helped with Gwyn's Girl Scout troop the first week back at school, Annie loved getting to stay after school and go. She said, I want to be a Daisy! Next year, Annie, next year!
Jacob's desk finally arrived, Brian had to put it together after I put a piece on it upside down...he then forbid me from ever buying anything at Walmart again, ha!
Annie got caterpillars for Christmas and so far 3 of the 4 have become butterflies! It has been pretty cool to watch them. She has named them Pete, Rudolph (you can call him Rudy), and Ship Shap Shack.
Gwyn and Annie both won awards for their Visual Arts drawings for "The World Would Be a Better Place If." Jacob says he so would have beat them, but he was in the 3rd - 5th category which was a little tougher than the peek-2nd, ha!
Jacob made the local Memorial magazine!
How bad can your day ever be, when you get a note like this from my Annie!
