January Activities and Fun

FUN, FUN, FUN. My hope is to keep my kids active this winter month. With the weather the way it has been, indoor activities have been more popular than outdoor. The weather a week ago was roughly around 10 degrees and snowing for almost a week straight. Then, on Saturday there was a change. The weather warmed up into the high 30's, than the 50's! All I can say is flood warning and feelings of an early spring.

So, Trey is in basketball for his first year. I think for a beginner, he is listening pretty well and getting all his energy out. The league I put him in, however, is younger kids than him. I am really confused if that is a good thing, or bad. Maybe I should move him up a level...I don't know. He is just the biggest kid on the court, and if you know Trey, he isn't that big. Mattie on the other hand cant stay out of trouble. She actually went to timeout the other day 8 times for the same thing. She is constantly turning the tv off. I can't keep her out of the food in the kitchen like the bisquick and dried cup of noodles. She also knows how to open doors now!! I am definately in trouble. This day, she got into my office drawer and colored all over herself with a blue permanant marker! She is a terror I tell ya!

Morgan is learning her colors and shapes this week. We learned you can make other colors by mixing them. She is so proud of how she is learning new things and has discovered, she really likes to paint. She is so happy.

Today is Martin Luther King day and we are going to see the Dog Hotel Movie at 4:30.
