Dance

Audrey and Kenzie finished up their dance classes with a performance in front of parents. They both loved the performance and really enjoyed their classes

Beauty and the Beast

Last weekend I took Audrey on an outing. We saw the live action Beauty and the Beast in the theater. It was a good movie with great company!

Grandpa Visit

Grandpa works for FEMA so he is often away for work. His last deployment has been in SC so its close enough that he can come home most weekend. The kids love it!

Batik at Sterling

Ryan and Audrey's class are doing Batik in art class. It involves HOT wax so they asked for volunteers which means I get to go in and help! It is a really fun project and the kids seem to really enjoy it. 

Myrtle Beach

The weekend before the last the weather was REALLY warm so we decided to go to the beach! We went to Myrtle because it is really fun with kids- they had a lazy river in the hotel along with a bunch of other pools. They also had free DVD rentals and it was right on the beach. It was super fun to get away for a quick adventure! 

10 Days Until 3

In 10 days Kenzie will be 3, she is really excited, she is even having a party this year with her friends! These crowns are the party favors, she needed to test them out :)

Scouts with heART

Last weekend a group from Audrey's girl scout troop went to deliver homemade Valentine's Day cards to a local nursing home. It was a great experience for everyone and the girls really enjoyed it. The residents really liked seeing the kids and really appreciated have someone pop in and say hello. 

A Day Audrey's Class

Every Tuesday I go into Audrey's class and volunteer as a reading buddy. I take out the kids one at a time and have them read to me. It's a lot of fun and I like to see what else is going on in the classroom. Last Tuesday they were playing board games that they created. 

Science Fair

Ryan and Audrey both participated in the lower elementary science fair at school. Ryan did an experiment where he put chicken bones in vinegar until they became bendy and Audrey did an experiment where eggs were placed in vinegar until their shells disintegrated. It was a lot of hard work but I think they both learned something and it is nice to participate in school events! 

Kenzie is a Goofball

This is a good example of Kenzie's personality. I asked her to smile for the camera... and this is a series of what I got.

After School Activities

I feel like we are in a mad house of after school activities right now. Kenzie and Audrey started dance class this week. Kenzie is doing tap/ ballet and Audrey is doing Hip Hop/ Acro. Ryan is finishing up basketball and Audrey and Ryan have swim lessons once a week. Next week Ryan starts after school math tutoring. Most of these things are short sessions (6 weeks) Let's hope we survive until Spring!
