This year, Sydney got to make a Valentine’s box for school. She loves unicorns so my mom helped her make an awesome box. It turned out great. Austin made a bag with his 8
th grade buddy at school. I helped in Sydney’s class for the Valentine’s party this year. It was fun. I still don’t know all the kids like a do Austin’s class. I am working on it though. I also got the kids a stuffed animal for Valentine’s day with some chocolate. Also everyday in February I put a heart on their door for a reason why we love them. Sydney thought that was the greatest thing ever. Austin was not quite as impressed.
In February we also went to an ice skating birthday party. Austin even played hockey a bit. Sydney was enjoying ice skating. With the Olympics being on and them learning a lot about it in school, Austin really wanted to go skiing. I don’t know how to ski but Brian does. There was a
Sunday that was warm so Brian took Austin first. While Sydney and I were at Daisy scouts. Then we met them skiing. I decided not to try it since we didn’t think we were going to be there that long. Austin skied for 6 hours. He absolutely loved it! Sydney also enjoyed it too. They even did the intermediate hill. I was so proud of them for learning so quickly and doing it. It was a fun day!!
Austin finished up with basketball. He really enjoyed it. Brian enjoyed coaching them too. Next year Sydney said she would even do basketball if her Daddy would coach. We will see what happens.
For boy scouts, we had to work a fish fry. I was not excited to do that. However it turned out great. The kids had a great time picking up people's dishes. They thought it was the best thing ever. We may even do it again this year they had so much fun.
Also this month, I started working from home. That will be so great for the family. I will miss everyone I work with but being able to be at home with be great!
The kids are doing well in school. Austin is busy learning how to read and spell. He has a spelling test every other week. Sydney is good at reading. She has her little books at home that she reads. Austin is great in math. Sydney is working on it. Austin understands money and he said he will teach Sydney about it this summer. They do good working together.
