This was a tough week but we made it! We are ready to turn the page on the calendar. January was a long month.
The kids really enjoyed the snow.
Girls vs. Boys in a snowball fight. Here are the boys making final preparations.
Owen tried out hockey... there were a lot of "little guys."
Owen turned 11!! We went to the commissary to pick out a cake and all they had was this little heart cake. So....... Owen pleaded his case that this was a "girl's cake" and that if he got it he should also get a key lime pie. I caved....we left with a cake and a pie!!
This face says it all......."I'm 11 and I got a girl's cake"......"with one candle"
That is all this tired momma could pull off and I'm super embarrassed to admit this but I didn't even get the cake on his real birthday. We got it the next day. I told him we were spreading out the fun!!
I caught the girls outside one day marching in line and singing. So funny. It looks like Meg is giving orders.
The kids work on their fort all the time. Hours and hours perfecting this thing. I asked what this pile of sticks was for and they said they were for the store. The boys carve them and then "sell/trade" them.
The "store"
Owen played two games on Saturday back to back. This shot must have been taken on the second game because they all look worn out and tired.
A typical evening shot of kids in the neighborhood playing
I found this note Meg made in her room
My sister-in-law found these photos and sent them to me.
I love these pictures they brought back a lot of memories.
Owen and Meg have been missing their cousins!
The kids hang out on this field a lot. They play frisbee.
A few more shots of when the girls were marching and singing!
and more fort building!
and with that we say good-bye January! Hello February !
