This weekend we put on some ice skates and ventured out on the icy pond. What a great time we had together!
It was Chesley and Kaden’s first time but already we have seen a great improvement. By the end of the season they’ll be pro-skaters, ready to try out for the 2011 winter Olympics! Oh wait… they would have to wait till 2014. :)
Last night the Herricks had a pizza party! Chesley was rewarded with a personal pan pizza, a five dollar bill, and a Super Reader Award certificate. The award was presented to him for reading 50 books! We are so proud of him and all enjoyed a great time of celebration.
This week, while Karl has been away for meetings, the boys and I have been spending quality time together.
We played with legos for over two hours last night and stayed up WAY too late! But, it was fun. Chesley, Kaden, and I have been going out and playing together in the snow too. What a joy it is to love them by taking time to do something they enjoy.
You know, I think I should do it more often.
We woke up to a white blanket of snow that covered the ground on Tuesday morning. So, when break time came Chesley and Kaden were excitedly putting on their boots, coats, and gear. There was only an inch that had accumulated but it was just enough to make for a lot of fun!
As you can see, we made our first snowman of the season. Unfortunately, he had melted by mid-afternoon but, I’m sure we’ll have plenty of opportunities to build more soon.
The Ingham County Fair was a lot of fun this year. We ate elephant ears, cotton candy, and corn dogs. Then we bought some tickets and tried out the rides. Chesley and Kaden can’t wait to go again next year!
We have faithfully went every year for a while. Check out the pictures of the fair in 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005.
