I just saw these on Twitter from last Friday (1/28/17).

Our scientists created a model of weathering by breaking up "rocks" the way wind, water, temperature, ice, and plants do. pic.twitter.com/IpxRGfPfKC

As with the past two years, each kid gets a week to share things about themselves with the class and we picked his birthday week again. I tried to keep my hands off his poster while still managing to give some gentle guidance. He did pretty good.
The kids’ swim instructor is moving so today was his last day. We will miss him lots—he was really good with both kids and really pushed Owen.
I belong to the birthday club for the kids so when mail came with Owen’s name on it, he was excited. It was a $3 coupon and a certificate for a crown and birthday balloon. When we turned it in, he also got a plush and a book!
He knew exactly what he wanted so it didn’t take long. He looked so grown up waiting in line…
Unfortunately we were one day early for the coupon (of course!) so daddy bought it for him and he lucks out with an extra birthday present.
Katie: I don’t feel good.
Tom: What’s wrong?
Katie: The boogers are in the way.
We bought Katie a carry-on for an upcoming plane trip. She has been rolling it around the house ever since, filling it up, emptying it out, and playing with it non-stop. When she goes to bed, Owen starts playing with it.
Me: Why do you guys like suitcases so much?
Owen: Let’s just say this. We like suitcases.
Katie got dressed on her own and came in to show us.
Tom: You look like a thousand bucks.
Katie: I’m not for sale!
We were out running errands and Katie asked if I was just going to go in. Tom joked he would just toss me out of the car.
Katie: Noooo! She’ll break everything on her. She’ll break her bones.
He’s SO excited about being able to dress for Vacation Day at William Halley ES…doesn’t much care that it’s only 30° out.
And a picture the school posted on Facebook!
;
I know it shouldn’t matter but it makes me cringe… so I let her wear it when we aren’t going anywhere. 🙂
We are doing it in batches because we are ALL helping…and when owen starts getting too grabby and controlling, we put it up for the day.
Maggie was at the door sunning herself so Katie had to give her hugs goodbye.
Since we live just around the corner she is allowed to sit in the passenger seat. 🙂
Only $3.49 for Børn lined boots at Ross! Even if she only wears them for the rest of this season, it’s still worth it!
We are SO in trouble…
He’s such a good sport v2. I asked if he remembered what he was doing in the picture, thinking he wouldn’t have a clue…and within like three seconds he said “Those are Lego hands from Indiana Jones [xbox game].”
Have I mentioned Katie doesn’t want to do ballet anymore? She wants to do gymnastics but I haven’t decided if we’re going to do that. We still have to finish out our pre-paid January dates and she still has a ball. I keep asking if she’s sure she wants to quit and she says she is.
Owen happened to be on my lap as we were checking out TimeHop so we did this recreation. 🙂
They were SOOOO yummy. We will be back.
Katie finally decided to wear footie PJs tonight. She hasn’t been able to wear them before now because trying to pee in the middle of the night (getting the PJs off while sleepy) was an issue. Not anymore!
The kids are always so excited to go because we refuse to take them (they know why but they’re still kids so don’t really understand)…
With the birthday boy.
Me: Owen, come here, I need you to do something for me.
Owen, seeing me with the camera: UGGGGGGGHHH!
But he still did it. 🙂
