Doing school:
We are loving this new game that we got for Christmas - and it's an awesome thing to put in the kids' school boxes.
Going to the aquarium:
Field trips are a good thing. Period.
Puppets:
The kids like to have puppets on both sides of the puppet curtain my sister
made them - and tell jokes mostly consisting of 'Did you hear the one
about the bear?' (Monkey) and 'Did someone say Dynomite? - Boom!' (Thomas).
Heavily influenced by The Muppet Show.
Checking out the model train show:
This year Thomas was able to focus on one thing at a time instead of constantly being on the move - so glad of that. The lego train setup was to die for - this is a teeny corner of it. We made our own 'Toy Train' videos.
Coaching basketball:
My current 'job' at church is coaching the young women's sports. We had a month off after volleyball and are now into basketball. I am trying to remember all the drills we did in high school. Thomas thinks that he's the coach (he has good ideas, I tell you), and the kids have been surprisingly good about hanging out at the gym for practices.
Ballet rehearsals:: Princess has had extra rehearsals for her Coppelia ballet that she's involved in - and I have a few things to work on for the production, too - so that's fun.
Celebrating Aaron's birthday:
By going out for pizza and making yummy vanilla bean ice cream and cookies *drool*.
Looking for a good concert to go to:: me. It's been almost a year since we saw Andrew Bird. Is anyone good coming soon?
Watching TV:
Between Christmas and Aaron's birthday we got this many seasons of TV shows. Kinda ridiculous, yet awesome. We're in no hurry to get through them all - most are reruns for us anyway. And Clone Wars is for the kiddos. Just saying.
with lightsabers.
Also had a speech meeting for Thomas today - there is always something lately!
But it's all good stuff, really.
I swear I'm going to get some sewing projects done. Soon!
