I love having our neighbor boys over. They like to play in the ball pit. One is searching for treasure and the other is pretending to cooks something. Their imaginations are limitless. It is always so interesting to see what is on their minds and what they are interested in doing.
Each night I try to have a family meal. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with what is being served. So at the beginning of each week, I ask what they would like for dinner. This past week, Tim’s request of baked tortellini was a big hit. To help the kids think of meals, I have put together a list/slide show of meal ideas. I hope they will use this and get some good ideas.
Xadia
and Teagan like to wrestle with dad and Fozzie the dog. Here they are having a good time on a Sunday
afternoon getting all riled just before I go down for a nap. These kids are so funny. If Teagan has a chance, he will pass gas and
buttercup dad. It is so unbelievable
what these kids would do. I would never
have imagined such things. When I bring
it up to Tim, he says, “that’s what boys do.”
Seth
and Jacinda are such good friends. One of
the things they like to do is play unmatched games. I played the game once. It was fun but I don’t think I could ever
play it as much as Seth and Jacinda. I
am so glad they have fun together playing board games.
Fozzie
has long fur and it has become matted with dreadlocks. He loves to run outside in the snow and track
it inside the house. He gets snowballs
on his legs because the snow clings to his fur.
It is so funny and annoying because he will jump on the couch and try to
be next to us but he is full of snow. We
don’t want to be wet and cold. So Fozzie
has to stay on the floor which is hard for him because he likes to snuggle with
the family. He has been a good dog for
our family.
One of Teagan’s
and Tim’s goals this year is to roller skate backwards. He bought a pair of rollerblades, and we went
to the Onion Parkway Trail. Tim and Teagan
roller bladed while Xadia rode the scooter, and I walked the dog. Halfway on our walk, Xadia and Teagan
switched so they each got a turn on the scooter and the rollerblades. Fozzie was having a great time saying “hi” to
all the dogs and watching the horses on the trail.
Fozzie
is so spoiled. He will jump on the
massage table and Xadia will come to his beckoning call and give him a
massage. I did not believe my own eyes,
so I had to take a picture to capture it.
What a rough dog life.
McCabe
got asked to Valentine’s dance by Zoey.
She gave him a poster that said, “Roses are red and pizza sauce is too,
I would love to go to sweethearts with you.”
She gave him a little Caesars pizza and a box of peanut butter cups. He was happy and started working on his
response.
Jacinda
received an award this past week for being student of the month. But it should be called student of the
year. The teachers select one student out
of all their classes and highlight them.
Mrs. Mcgarry, the theater teacher selected Jacinda for her kindness and
assertiveness and positive attitude to get things done. It was so wonderful to have her be
spotlighted. The office staff even
agreed with Mrs. Mcgarry and complimented Jacinda on who she was. We had a nice breakfast catered by Chik-fil-A
and a nice visit with Mrs. Mcgarry.
