J: BUT I WANT DESSERT.... Oh wait, I forgot.
Me: Gee, thanks. Good morning to you too, D.
(1/7) Lazy Sunday for me & the boys. Dad had to work, but was able to come home a little early so we could go to the Silvertips game. Tips won handedly tonight! Fun game!
(1/8) Work from home day for me, normal work day for Dad, and the boys had school. C was not feeling well this morning, and grumpily went off to school. He seemed better this evening, and played well at practice tonight. He may have had a little video game incentive, but it worked.
(1/9) Work and school day for us tonight. Nanan came to watch the boys after school today, and Dad pizza'd them all. She went home after dinner, and we all had a pretty relaxing evening.
(1/10) Day off for me, and work day for Dad. I worked in the boys' classes today. D was bummed because I'm going to work in his class in the AM now, and in J's for the Plan/Do/Reflect (centers) session. I tried to pull kids out individually to read with me, but he kept wanting to come out, and was a pill for the guest teacher. Once we got to the computer portion he was better. After school, C had an appointment, and we met Dad at home. Dad said he felt like being a "good cook," and took us to sushi. Our favorite waitress was shocked at how the boys have grown. She's known them since they were babies, and it's been a little while since we've been in.
(1/11) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys. I took the twins to Zumba tonight, and the day care had a 5+ kid line to get in. Gotta plan better in January. I always forget that. I got to class 20 minutes late, but whatevs, I still enjoyed. Then it was home, with bedtime shortly thereafter.
(1/12) I had today off from work, so saw the kiddos off to school, then went shopping. We needed some new snow bibs and boots, since my children won't stop growing! I got the boys packed and ready, so as soon as they came home, we were off for our ski weekend with the grands. We had dinner at the Old Mill Cafe in Plain, and then stayed at the Kahler Golf & Ski Resort in Leavenworth. The resort was gorgeous! C & J played video games, and the grands, D, & I played Monopoly after the boys were done playing in the snow.

(1/13) Ski day! We dropped the boys at snowboard school, and headed off to ski. We had expected 10-15" of snow, and got drizzle instead. Bah. When I went to watch the kids, J was coming down the little slope all on his own, and could do up his bindings. Yay, J! C was in a beginner class, and stopped to cheer on J for a few of his runs. And there was D. Deedles played in the snow park, lost his board, and really had no interest. Le sigh. We told him that if he doesn't snowboard tomorrow, he's not coming back when we bring the other two boys for their next lesson. After lunch, the twins were *done* and stayed to play in the snow with Grandma & Granddad while I went out with C for a few more runs. C bombed down Daisy and has really come a long way! He says he's feeling way more confident than even at the end of last season. The only hitch in our giddy-up today was someone boosted Grandma's skis. Grrr! She filed a report, but there's not a lot that can be done. We decided to head on back to the condo instead of going out again this evening. The boys were totally fine with that option, and were excited to hit the video games, and get into all the snax we brought. We were all in bed by 8:30pm since we have an early day tomorrow, and were beat from today.

(1/14) Ski day! We were up early, packed, and at the lodge when it opened this morning. I got the boys off to snowboard school, and went and collected my skis. Grandma ended up demoing some skis and found a pair she liked. They were having a sale this weekend ~ so while it was rotten that they were stolen, and least this story has a good ending. I skied until 11:30, and then went to watch the kids. D actually got up on a board today! Hooray! When I asked to move C to a novice class this morning, they moved all the boys. The twins were so not ready. Thankfully, they had the same instructor as yesterday, and she made it all work. C got to go up Daisy and spent his whole class there. They boys were exhausted when I collected them, so we went up for lunch and a break while Grandma & Granddad wrapped up the purchase of her skis, and took 'em out for a spin. We headed out early since the grands had a long drive home. We had a blast!

(1/15) Today was absolutely beautiful! After Zumba, Sarah and I took the boys to the park. They played outside without coats! We celebrated Dad's 40th birthday this afternoon at the Silvertips game. We rented a suite, and had a great view! The Tips won 5-6 tonight! I ran the teenager home after the game and we got to gab on the way. So nice to see her!
(1/16) Work day for Dad & me, and school for the boys. We had a pretty chill evening, and spent the time hanging out, and video gaming.
(1/17) I usually love to volunteer in my kiddos' classes, but D was challenging today since his class had a substitute while his teacher was doing assessments. I was helping by listening to his classmates count, and D ended up sitting in another classroom because he was was running feral in his own. Changes are hard. I had fun building blocks in J's class during Plan/Do/Reflect thought. He also had a guest teacher, and she was a riot.
C!
