Who needs Christmas presents when the boxes the gifts arrive in inspire you to build this?

Building with dishes
I love finding evidence of my kids being in the kitchen. (This is what happened when the girls dried dishes tonight 😂)
Penguin Party 🐧
Shecklet #4 joined her fellow kindergartners and dressed in black and white for her penguin party at school today. The kids sang five songs, showed us their penguin themed artwork, and had a snack. It was so fun to see their hard work on display!
Feast of St. Nicholas
I know today’s feast day typically means shoes filled with chocolate coins and oranges, but since were still eating Halloween candy, we opted for ornaments and book, titled the Catechism of the Seven Sacraments.
Christmas tree 2018
We visited a a Christmas tree farm tonight and found our family’s tree 🌲 The kids (and the tree farm guy) all thought it was pretty funny that the tree fit inside the truck 😂
Another trip around the sun
I got to celebrate my birthday with this great group of family and friends. Michelle and Angelo hosted us for dinner and an amazingly delicious pumpkin layered cake.
Gift opening (on the 24th) was full of fun surprises from Jake, the kids, my in-laws, and my aunt Deb, who made a cathedral pane lap quilt using pieces that my Grandma Fran had intended to use for quilting, but was unable to due to her failing eyesight.
Pre-Thanksgiving 2018
Our good friends from KC came to visit for a few days. Many laughs and fun memories were made and we captured a couple of pictures to document how much the kids have grown 😊
This kid loves her godparents so much!
Trip to the local ninja gym for some exercise.
Rare mom selfie!
Basketball for Shecklet #4
Three of the four Shecklets are giving basketball a try this season. One of the neighboring cities has a program that introduces kindergarten kids to the sport. For four Saturday mornings, they get to practice dribbling, shooting, and playing some fun games. Shecklet #4 is already asking when she can sign up to play basketball again 🏀
