January Updates

We had 100 days of school on the 22nd.

Sadie actually got a certificate for not having missed a day in the first 100 days. I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure she must've been absent for something at sometime, but I guess not! She was so excited since she was the only one in her class.

They got to bring 100 of something small so we had fun counting out dry pintos. I love spending time with her in the morning doing school stuff.

We also had crazy sock day.

Sadie had the brilliant idea of tights for a scarf.

I feel bad because Holly was every bit as "socked-out" as Sadie, but we were in a rush getting to school in the morning, and then she took it all off before I could get a picture after school. 

But they pretty much had the same look going.

On the 24th Eli got his "Arrow of Light" and we went to our last pack meeting ever. (Barring any future callings).

Eli and Scoutmaster Adair

I got to paint his face with some symbolic colors.

He LOVES his arrow and is so excited for Boy Scouts!

Sadie took Eli's music stand and a book and one of our bath-toy flutey things and had her own instrument practice one day :)

We had fun with cousins at the Riparian Preserve on MLK day.
Emma's love for tree climbing has not faded.

The little 2 have been begging Dana to "throw them up" and I got a couple pictures one time.

I'm into my second year as chorister. Overall, I'm enjoying my calling but I still wish I could just not get nervous at all. I'm not sure that's in the cards for me. Some Sundays just go better than others. Last week was a successful one and I felt I deserved a little R n' R after church. Apparently I don't do this very much cause the kids thought it was interesting enough to take 20 pictures of from different angles. And even funnier that they put Sadie's blanket on me....Yep. They got me good.
