Family Fun Day

Yesterday, after church and a short nap, we headed up to Liberty Mountain so the girls could do some snow tubing.  They loved the whole experience.  The actual hill that they let the little the 2-5 year olds tube on was pretty boring, but they loved everything about the day, so it didn't matter.  We had to take a shuttle to get the place for tubing and I think that was probably their favorite part of the day!

Happy birthday Dad

Report cards

This was the week of "report cards" for the girls. Wednesday night they got a report card from their swim instructor basically showing that they can move up to the next level. Then I had my first parent teacher conference on Thursday...totally different experience being on this side of it!! They got all positive comments (with a note that they sometimes need reminders to sit still during circle time...but that is not a surprise...they love to move!)...and most important to me she kept emphasizing how polite they are and how they always say please and thank you...phew....this is the number one thing I try to instill in them and it is good to know they do it when I am not around :)  So, since this is my electronic baby book, here are pics of the report cards...

She said that all the checks mean that the child is "age appropriate" and the check plus means they are a little beyond what would be expected of a kid their age.  

Snow (half) day

Last week was a VERY rough work week for me.  Monday and Tuesday were days off, Wednesday was the first day of the marking period (which means I just have to introduce my class to the kids), Thursday was a delayed opening, and Friday was an early release because of snow...whew...I could get used to that schedule :)  (and today...Monday...was also a delayed opening...too bad it is going to get warm for the rest of the week..I am spoiled).  Anyway, Friday we got out early because of the snow...so we took advantage and took the girls out to sled.  Isabella is ADDICTED...she wanted to go down the hill over and over and over...and cried when it was time to go in.  Sad...but cute!

And their sweet little red cheeks when we came in...

The only two pics I got at Demi's party before my camera died :(
