So Proud!

Of these two. Ryan was chosen to be the Student of the Month for the third time. He's gotten the award every year since Pre-k! Go Ryan!! Both boys received the Good Work award, which is Honor Roll for first graders. Ry and Ev are super smart and they work really hard. We have high expectations for them and they rise to the occasion every time. Way to go, Ryan  and Evan! 

Happening Now & Earlier

One little Pea is going to be so mad he missed this! He's fast asleep. 

The 100th day of school celebration was rescheduled for today due to last week's snowstorm. Their (our) shirts came out kinda cute! 

Happening Now

It's Fri-Yay! so these two finally get to have some tablet time. Ry didn't even bother to take his uniform off! 

Happened Earlier

Ryan and Evan in this struggle "snowstorm!" They wanted to go outside and play in the snow so badly that I hated to turn them down. Hopefully we'll get one (just ONE) major snowstorm for my guys. 

Merry Christmas!

A Hodge-Podge of Random Pictures from Our Lives

 Thanksgiving~ What happens when you have Thanksgiving dinner with a doctor and a businessman? They teach your first grader how to multiply. Evan was pretty quick with it too. Ryan snuck in a TMNT movie!

 These two dapper dudes celebrated Daddy's second anniversary at our church.

 Santa, Santa everywhere! I have put my foot down and refused to buy that creepy Elf on the Shelf though! The Peas keep asking and I keep changing the subject. I'll never remember to move the poor thing anyway... It's really for the best!

 Evan was promoted to yellow belt! Shout out to Amazon Prime over there in the corner who has saved me this holiday season :)

 Like almost everyone else we tuned in to The Wiz Live  a couple weeks ago and it was awesome! The kids loved it so much and have been watching it ever since. I just had to buy them the Diana Ross and MJ version! Talking about going back to my childhood! R & E love this version even more and we've all been belting out "You Can't Wiiiinnn" Sang Michael Jackson!

 The weather would not let us be great and take a family photo shoot as planned, so I had to improvise. This is one of the outtakes. The boys are holding a Christmas craft that they made. We've been doing one per week.

 But before that I got some free child labor and had them decorate (part of) the tree

 Sunday morning in Daddy's office

This was our latest creation...Elf Hats. Pretty easy and tasty!

Homemade white chocolate peppermint hot chocolate was a hit.

 Hanging out!

Okay so meet Fishy-Fish. Ry and Ev both won several fish at Hallelujah Night. I had no place to house a fish and nothing to feed a fish so I found this at Target late that night. I figured, hey they'll all be dead soon anyway right? Wrong! Fishy-Fish is the lone survivor! When we saw he was going to make it we upgraded him to an aquarium. Ya'll, the thing is still alive! STILL. ALIVE. I'll just leave that right there...

SAA Christmas Program

1. I am a terrible blogger.

2. I'm sorry.

3. I (like all other mothers) have the cutest kids in the universe!

The Peas recently performed at their school's Christmas program. It was the sweetest thing! We were surprised to find out that they were the little drummer boys. The first graders sang "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

Can you spot our two little Peas on stage with the entire school for the grand finale?

This is why I love our school. I don't know exactly what was going on here, but this little boy needed some love and his teacher was there to give it to him.    Best. Thing. Ever.

Hallelujah Night Fun

We had another great time at our church's Hallelujah Night. Who says you can't have fun at church?! Ry and Ev had a very busy week with two Trunk or Treat activities at school, a parade, and a class party. They had a blast!
