Best of the day

January 6 - I have two for today

Jill's commentary while painting that went like this:

See, mom, when I wipe the paint like this, it makes it absolutely invisible.  J is for invisible and for Jill.

Watching Sam get valuable playing time as his team went undefeated for the season.

January 5 - A park day in the middle of January.  Who would have known?

Best of the Day

January 4 - Helping Grier get to where he needed to be with the other scouts

Best of the Day

January 3 - uninterrupted hanging with Jill and Anna - 

you know, playing store, dressing up, 

and having a fake picnic

(the others went back to school today)

Best of the Day

Not my original idea, but this year, or at least for as long as it lasts, I want to remember the best thing that happened every day.  So . . . here is a little catch up.

January 1 - watching 17 Miracles with the kids

January 2 - zach asking if streakers get sent to jail.   
(Both Ron and I raised our eyebrows at that one.  Does he have plans we are unaware of?)

Cross country and lots of it

Cross country dominated the fall.  Sam, Zach, and Maggie all participated and had a great time.  Sam and Zach ran over 100 miles and Zach was very serious about it this year.  He finished fourth at Conference and his age group from Glenwood won.  Zach will now forever be remembered with a banner in the school gym with his name on it.  Sam had fun and had lots of social time.  Maggie ran like the wind and finished 13th in the road race against girls up to eighth grade.  Such a great way to spend beautiful fall days.

Zach running hard

Lots of random outside things

 riding on the 4-wheeler

 shooting some hoops

 climbing stairs . . . in a diaper

 disappointment, or sun in eyes - it depends on who you ask
