Playing “coronavirus”

The girls were playing Barbies after their schoolwork was done this afternoon. When I peeked in the room to see what they were up to, they pointed out one particular Barbie who had an accessory that could be used as a gaiter, skirt, headband, or a mask, “if you’re playing ‘coronavirus,'” as told to me by Shecklet #4.

Thanksgiving in March

My favorite meal with my favorite people ❤️ Jake is always willing (and ready) to grill for us, but Thanksgiving food sounded so good!

Rubber duck

Not sure who put this here or why, but it made me laugh this morning 😂

ETA – apparently this strategic placement was compliments of Shecklet #3.

Fun with static electricity

We’re in the middle of a weather rollercoaster. Warmish (for January) yesterday, single digits today, and potentially close to 40 tomorrow. Shecklet #4 had fun with fleece blankets and the dry air tonight, filling her hair with static electricity.

Last hurrah of summer

I took three of the Shecklets things Nissedalen today while Jake stayed home and worked on the truck with the help of Shecklet #2. Between spotting tubing kids and listening to giggles as they swung in hammocks, I did get to do a little reading – not much, but a little. This place is so relaxing. I’m grateful we got to spend so many Saturdays up here during our brief summer break from school and schedules.

Missing front tooth

This kid is so full of creativity, spunk, and laughter. She lost her tooth while on a field trip today. The parent chaperone gave her a baggie from her lunch to put it in so it didn’t get lost. She was one proud little girl when she got off the bus this afternoon.

 

While I’m talking about her, this was a recent art project #4 was able to being home. (Splat the Cat from the book series.)

💯 days of school

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.
