What We've Been Up To
I came home one afternoon and saw this. The girls were planning a surprise party for one of their best buddies who was moving. They pulled their own money and rode their bikes to the mini mart and bought balloons and goodies. I told them I wanted to contribute so I picked up pizzas for the neighborhood crew.
They decorated the garage
they set up a table and planned games all by themselves! One girl made homemade chocolate croissants and another mom heard about it and dropped off a veggie tray. These kids are amazing.
balloon tied to your ankle game - is always a winner
We lit a candle each night during Hanukkah and talked to the kids about this special tradition.
Banana bread a staple in our house
So I found these socks and they made me happy so I bought them. (I won't mention the part that I got them from a thrift store - but the tags were still on them)
and then Owen discovered them

This is an Icelandic horse and Meg's instructor braided her hair and trimmed a heart on her muzzle
Neighborhood buddies - we had to say goodbye to the guy on the end and it was a hard day on all of us.
roller hockey everyday - all day
shout out to Chipotle for hosting the HIS Academy Christmas party! Classroom PARTAYS are the best!
We are so enjoying no school. Someone cut in front of me while we were out shopping and Owen said "Mom that guy just cut in front of you!" and I said, "I don't even care because I'm not doing math right now with you guys!!!" We stopped by a Western store and Meg was in heaven!

Owen wrapped up the roller hockey season as the second highest scorer! The other night we noticed that the girls roller derby practice had been canceled. Our family thinks the whole roller derby thing is a little weird. We do however like to think about what names we would have if we played roller derby. I would be "In your face - Grace"
Meg said she would go with "Mighty Meg" or "Make you cry Meg"
We saw this at Target today. I'm not even sure what caption goes with this picture. But what's even stranger is Owen immediately wanted to know if he could have it.
We were in the pet section grabbing a snack for Meg's riding instructor's dog - Ollie. Owen picked up this bag of Sizzlers and said they looked good.

Meg and I baked one day.
We are trying to get together some goodies for Pascal's teachers. Whew this wore me out!!
and that's a wrap
