It sure doesn’t seem like 3 weeks since we last spoke. But, it has. Sorry.
Life is a bit busy. When isn’t it?
Let me sum up what we have missed sharing the past 3 weeks.
1. Weekend trip to Costco. Always exciting (note sarcasm). When I get everything unpacked into the pantry, this is what usually ends up roaming our house for a few hours.
We have been asked to refer to them as Robot Box Boys. This one is of the Ellis clan. Their most recent challenge is to walk up the stairs without their legs falling off.
2. I came down with whatever nasty cold is going around. It kicked my butt for a week. Now baby O has it and is miserable. More about that later.
3. Conducting science fair experiments. Little E is lighting up fluorescent light bulbs with balloons. Thanks Aunt Jessie and Uncle Jason for the awesome experiment book!
Avery is investigating whether or not playing electronics before bed affects your ability to fall asleep. Thanks Aunt Elizabeth for volunteering your students!
4. Little E turned 6! Yup. He is a big boy now. He has to officially wear all clothing the right direction, on the correct body part, and fully buttoned and zipped. You would think that a 6 year old would have higher expectations, right? Not little E. He habitually wears his underwear inside out and backwards, his shoes are on the wrong feet 90% of the time, and lately he has decided that buttoning and zipping his jeans is too much work. Goals, it is all about goals.
Yeah, you looked. His shirt is on backward, his shoes are acutally on the correct feet, but his pants are unzipped. This his how he starts most school days. Thank goodness Av always checks him out and fixes him before he heads to class.
5. Avery has finished his volleyball season for school. He had a great time and learned some new skills.
Look at that face. He looks happy don’t you think?
6. Isaak has finished his wrestling season for school. This weekend he, baby O, Brad and I traveled to Fairbanks for the state middle school tournament. He was one match away from placing. The kid that beat him had taken 2nd last weekend. He definitely held his own. It was a great experience. Here are pictures from his first match on Friday.
This is his signature move this year. The cradle. Pins them every time.
Ahhh, I feel so much better now that we are all caught up.
This week starts club wrestling season. Yippee! (again, note sarcasm)
Gotta go however, baby O needs her nose wiped and some snuggles to help her head feel better.
Later…
