January 29 - February 4

Catholic Schools Week

I remember celebrating CSW when I was in elementary school and it was always a BLAST!!

We started out the week with all the kids participating in the weekend Masses. Alex sang in the choir.

 Tuesday was crazy hair and pj day. Wyatt and I got to go hang out with Alex for lunch and the movie and popcorn that Fr. Joe brought over for the kids!

Even Wyatt got in on the crazy hair!

January 22 - 28

SNOW DAY!!!

January 22 the kids had the day off for teacher workshops. It couldn't have come on a better day!! We haven't had much snow this winter and it was so fun and warm. I had to practically bribe them to leave the park for lunch. Kalie told me she didn't need lunch because she ate snow!

(All of these pictures were taken with my iPhone so I apologize for the poor quality!)

 

Both Kendra and Alex have lost their front tooth. Too Cute!!

January 8-15

OK, I am not very good at posting every day but I do take a picture almost every day! So, I am going to try to post weekly.

A friend of ours wanted to take some pictures of Great-Grandma Rezek with Alex and Wyatt to hopefully use in a brochure for the home care company she works for. Here are some of the highlights.

Skiing at Powder Ridge...again! This time it was just the boys skiing. Alex got to participate in the Kids' Club ski lessons then was brave enough to ride the chair lift with his brother...7 times!! I can only imagine what they are saying to each other as they ride up, hopefully it was nice!!

Jordan enjoying the beautiful weather.

Jordan's basketball game. That is him with the ball #10.

While Jordan plays, Alex and his friends...play Star Wars under the bleachers...

 or enjoy a snack in the bleachers. The kids really are good at the games but snacks go a LONG way!

"Really?!?! Really, mom?!?!"

Alex's favorite response to being told he can't do something. In this case it was playing in the alley.

"Snowboarding" on the new Space Scooter from Aunt Chrissy

Seriously?!?!?!

I know that we chose to live in Minnesota but SERIOUSLY?!?!?!  This was the temp in a friend's car earlier today...yes, here in Litchfield...not in the arctic circle!!

 School was 2 hours late, I had extra daycare kids coming at 6:45 and Jordan was already awake so we decided to make this ...

Blueberry Banana Bread!

It is delicious!!  And all before 8am!! I think that is a productivity record for me!!

Lunch is in the oven. Big kids are playing nicely in the basement. Little kids are playing nicely in the living room and soon it will be nap time! :)
