NIght at WLA

Every once in a while, Seth will take us along when he has to do some work at school. We all love playing around in the gym.

 

 

 

Norah working on her jump rope skills.

 

 

They like shooting hoops too. Silas has really taken to basketball. He gets really excited when he makes a shot.

 

Last night while we were there, Seth was getting in a work out in the weight room. After awhile he had some tag alongs who wanted to work out too.

 

 

 

They all had fun lifting weights and learning a little. It was fun to hear Silas talking about getting one more set of pull ups in. They're even learning the terminology too.

Awesome Christmas Present

For the past two years for Christmas, our kids have received a membership to the Fond du Lac Children's Museum from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jesse. We use it all the time. It is especially nice in the middle of winter. This past week the kids and I had fun there after school.

 

 

Butterfly masks for spring.

 

 

They love giving puppet shows.

 

 

Before this location of the museum opened, different children's groups and schools were able to color a circle that would be part of a mural at the museum. All of our kids were able to make one. They love finding their every time we go.

S for Silas.

 

And of course, I love Lucy.

 

Thanks again Sarah and Jesse. We love using our gift over and over again.

 

 

Spring Break

Seth and the kids had spring break from school at the same time this past week. So we took the opportunity to take a mini vacation up to the cabin.

 

 

Our first day the weather was beautiful. It was still a little cool but with a sweatshirt and a hat you didn't even notice it.

 

The kids had a lot of fun exploring in the woods.

 

That night the temperature was a little warm in the basement that first night (that's why some shirts are off). The kids had fun playing ping pong.

 

 

Lucy thought she would take her shirt off too and I think it made her extra silly too.

 

 

The big project was building a fort in the woods. Seth and Norah did most of the work with a little help from the rest of us.

Here is a front view.

The kids also wanted to do some climbing. Seth found a perfect tree.

 

Silas had fun climbing, but didn't want to go too high.

 

And of course, Lucy got a turn to hang on too.

 

A trip up north wouldn't be complete without a campfire treat.

 

The kids were all pretty tired by the end of our two days. Even Ruby was tired. We caught her sleeping on Norah's bed. The kids had fun snuggling with her.

 

It was a wonderful get away for out family and like always, we can't wait to go back.

Playing at the Park

This past week we were spoiled with beautiful weather. All the snow melted and we are playing outside everyday. Basketball, sandbox, baseball, swinging, and bike rides are just a few of the things that the kids love doing. This weekend we rode our bikes to a park in town and had a blast.

 

 

Hopefully this weather will continue and we can have more days like this.

Games Inside

As we are waiting for the weather to improve outside, the kids have been having fun playing games together inside. Candyland, Trouble, Memory (Silas' favorite), it doesn't matter what it is. They love it.

 

 

Hungry Hippo fun.

 

Play-Doh has been another favorite lately. Norah has been very creative.

 

Silas likes to make cookies.

 

Lucy likes help making little snakes.
