Sunday, January 29, 2023

                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.
