Happy 4th Birthday Agnes!

Yesterday was Agnes’ fourth birthday. I seriously can’t believe that our littlest one is officially four. She is growing up so quickly. She woke up early, and she was ready for the party to begin!

We had a family party planned for the afternoon. The kids kept a watch on the door, and waited for everyone to arrive.

The kids were really excited to see Uncle Rob!

It was time for the party to begin.

We celebrated the entire day with family and friends. It was such a great day!

Agnes received so many thoughtful, and fun gifts. She was pretty excited.

At bedtime, she said that it was the very best birthday ever. Happy Birthday Little Lady!

Hobbit Feast

The kids had a day off school, and we were all looking forward to a day off. We ran to the store early in the morning, and the kids spent most of the day playing out in the backyard.

I got all of the groceries put away, and I did a few chores too.

At snack-time we decided to watch a movie, and enjoy a Hobbit feast. The boys wanted to watch An Unexpected Journey, and I thought that sounded like a great plan to me.

We made a large Hobbit feast in the dining room, and everyone made a plate.

The movie was great, and it was nice taking the afternoon off to hang out with the kiddos. I’m looking forward to the next day off of school.

Lazy Days

This week I made my “to do” list early on Sunday, and so far I haven’t “to done” too much of it… The weather has turned chilly fast, and I haven’t been feeling like getting up and going.

I kinda resemble our house-cat at the moment. Oh if I could slumber away the cold days just like that big guy.

Tomorrow the boys are out of school, so I am going to try to get the dishes caught up, and ten loads of laundry put away. Maybe I’ll get my energy back next week.

Good Reports All Around

This week is a short week for the kiddos. They are out of school on Friday due to parent-teacher conferences. I look forward to parent-teacher conference week. I enjoy catching up with the boy’s teachers, and see what areas we need to work on too.

Monday it was Dylan’s conference. I had all three kids tagging along too, but that meant we could stop off at the fantastic school playground. Dylan’s teacher is so kind, and Dylan is doing very well in the First grade. His reading in greatly improving, and he is in the highest reading small group. I’m so proud of my little guy.

Tuesday it was Thade’s turn. This time James was off work, so the kiddos could stay home with Dad. Thade’s teacher, and student-teacher are so fantastic. He is excelling at math, and reading too. I am so proud of my big kid.

Both boys received all A’s, and kind compliments from their teachers too. I’m so proud of my big kids.

Birthday Planning

It is almost time for someone’s birthday!

Miss Agnes is turning four on Sunday.

I can’t believe that she is already turning four. I’ve got lots to do before the birthday party, and lots to cook too. We’ll have family over for cake and ice cream, and watch some Packers Football too. She is a little excited for her birthday to get here. Hurry up Sunday!
