Big week in K for Shecklet #4. Not only was yesterday Valentine’s Day, but the kids also had a royalty parade throughout the school. #4 wore her sister’s St. Joan of Arc costume and was a royal knight.
Today was the 100th day of school. Kids had a chance to dress like they were 100.
6 of the last 12 school days have been cold or snow days for the Shecklets. We finally had a warm enough snow day where they could play outside for more than 5 minutes before freezing!
Grandma and Grandpa came to see Shecklet #2’s basketball game today and brought Grandma Lois, too. After the game, we came back to our house for pizza and the kids got to play games with their grandparents. Another fun memory was made tonight. 💗
I was chosen to chaperone Shecklet #4’s field trip to the Children’s Theatre Company today. The production was well done and the kids had fun writing on the frosty windows to and from the destination. ❄️🥶❄️
This kid got a swurfer swing for Christmas and her dad made it possible for her to use is in the heated garage during the winter.
I even gave it a try. Shecklet #4 made sure I had a helmet on for safety!
Jake took the Shecklets to find inner tubes for the sledding ramp they built toward the bottom of the hill in the backyard. They came home with these:
On the second run, Shecklet #2’s donut hit a screw head on the fence and exploded. Thankfully, he was physically fine. Unfortunately, he was pretty devastated that his new tube only lasted one and a half times down the hill. 😥
We didn’t get the usual post-mass family or kid pictures like we typically do. Instead, we opted for photos by the tree. They got off to a bit of a rocky start for the youngest Shecklet, but eventually we were able to get some real smiles out of her ❤️
We gathered at Grandma Lois’ church to celebrate Christmas with almost all of the family this afternoon. We feasted in Swedish meatballs, sausage, vegetables, salad, jello & rolls. After opening gifts, we had desert. Delicious food and fun family made for a great day – but we definitely missed having Papa Dale with us!
Shecklet #2 decided he wanted to dress more festive, so we tracked down a llama sweater for him (at our second Target stop.). Not wanting to be left out, Shecklets 1, 3 & 4 also found festive Christmas tops to wear to the family party.
