Battle of the Books – take 1 2018
This is the second year Shecklet #2 has participated in the Battle of the Books at school. This year they had 12 teams of kids! The top 4 teams from today’s competition go on to face each other again in April and then the top team goes on to compete against other charter schools. #2’s team ties for second place, so on he goes to read books from the next competition!
Sledding after rain and snow
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. 😥
Christmas Eve 2018 🎄
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 ❤️
Settergren Christmas 2018
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.
Ship builders
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.
