1st snowball fight of the season
Shecklets 1 and 2 headed out to the front yard shortly after getting home from school. Shecklet #4 followed soon after.

The Hobbit
Jake took the boys to see The Hobbit (as a play) at the Stages Theatre this morning. Both were very excited to see the book “live” in stage. Shecklet #2 was wondering if they would be using metal swords during the fight scenes.
Sunday in Duluth
We took a day trip to Duluth to visit my Aunt Deb and Uncle Steve. We stopped at their townhouse and got a tour of their new place before heading the Bulldog Pizza for lunch. After filling up, we headed to the aquarium. We also took a walk down the pier – it was a beautiful blue-skied day!
When we returned to Deb and Steve’s house, we were treated to cookies and milk before heading for home. We were also loaded up with pasties and beef burgundy – dinner for the week!
Head in the chair
I went to hang up the laundry and came back to this:
No idea what she was thinking or how this happened, but it required my intervention to set her free.
Dentist four 4
I was able to get all of the kids in for dental cleanings today. Jake took the day off (for Shecklet #3’a birthday,) so he came with us as well. Four sets of teeth, four great reports! And #4 did awesome during her first check-up! She let Dr. Sharp check her teeth and the hygienist was able to do a complete cleaning.
Bathing beauties
Shecklets 3 & 4 started a new swimming session tonight. Shecklet #4 is taking lessons for the first time – I think she enjoyed being in the water 🏊🏻♀️
Student of the month!
This guy received the Student of the Month award for his class for the month of February. The character trait he was selected for was positive thoughts. I think he was both surprised and excited to be chosen by his teacher.
Bat thumbs
As I was saying good night to Shecklet #1, he said to me:
“Mom, did you know bats have thumbs? It’s true. I read about it in the strange facts book.”
I learned something new tonight.
Preschool Christmas concert
Shecklet #4 sang her heart out at her preschool Christmas program this morning. The teachers do such a great job teaching hem the songs and actions to go along with each one. It was so fun to watch her up on he risers – no stage fright for her! She did great!
