Chicken checkers

Mr. Copper Coin and his buddy trying to decide if the chicken is done. 

Boxes before school

Goodness, these kids love boxes. 

More box fun

Oldest decided to join in the box fun this morning..

And another shot because he's smiling...

Caboose decided to eat his breakfast in his box...

They both watched tv in their box....

Eye Doctor

Princess had her eyes checked for her dyslexia appointment. All turned out well. Caboose thought it was creepy seeing Princess look through the lenses. 

Jack in the box

Glow Party

Last night we attended a glow in the dark birthday party at pump it up. 

Caboose was the only one that barely stood still long enough for a picture. 

Sleepy head

It took forever to wake up sleeping beauty this morning. 

This is what her dance costumes will look like-

Bath time

Mine crafters

Playing Suspension

Funny kid

Bus riders

Oldest has been getting up early and getting dressed to catch the bus. He's been anxious to get to school.... Hmmm I wonder if it's about a girl? He won't tell me, only that he wants to talk to his friends on the bus. 

This morning Princess rallied from her deep slumber state and got on the bus too. 

Caboose, however, felt it was much too cold outside for that and rode the van to school. 

Back to school

Back to trying to find creative ways to learn spelling words ...

Back to being tired after school ...

And back to avoiding homework  ...

Rain

It seems like it's been raining for weeks. I've put off going to the grocery store, only to end up having to go today. Of course, there ended up being a tornado in the county and we all got sent to the bowels of Walmart. 

Also, this rain has the kids cooped up and wild. 

Happy New Year!

We went over to a friend's house last night and rang in the New Year. I can't remember the last time Mr Copper Coin had New Year's Eve off. 

Caboose at the firework stand ..

Oldest and Mr Copper Coin...

Fun with Mr Copper coin...  Fortunately, he woke up in time to be kissed at midnight!
