Decades Day

It was "Decades Dress-Up Day" at Coe Elementary and Conway represented with a tie-dye shirt and a mohawk. It was quite the hit until his hair popped a balloon they were using in P.E. Oops!

Ski + Date Day

We were all supposed to go skiing, but Monroe's lesson got cancelled so he and I let the big boys go without us. We stayed back and had a little date day together complete with treats at Macrina's Bakery. 

Family of Five at a Kraken Game

The five of us all finally made it to a Kraken game together! It was Conway and Monroe's first game and Parker had a good time giving them a tour of the Arena. We took the bus down early enough to eat Dick's burgers outside the Arena before heading in and then watched the team warm up from right behind the glass. The pucks hitting the glass right in front of us was actually pretty jarring! It was not the Kraken's best showing, but we had a blast anyway. And we knew it was time to go home when the kids started resting their heads against each other.

Meet Coral!

 

The kids have a new pet, a Betta Fish named Coral! He was a Christmas gift from Uncle Damo and Aunt Elly and the boys are so excited about him. They love turning his tank's lights on and they think it's very cool that he eats dried blood worms. Time will tell how well they do remembering to feed him so tbd on that. He's pretty fun to watch swimming around his tank, though!

Starting the New Year Off Right

We started off the new year with naps, mug cakes, and Nintendo. Follow that up with mini corndogs and tater tots while watching a movie? Coming out of this vacation mode might be a tad bumpy. 

Happy New Year!

Rolling into 2022 with make-your-own pizzas and sparkling drinks. We raised our glasses to the new year while watching the ball drop on east coast time and then said farewell to 2021.

P.S. Happy New Year 2021
