Middle Jan Update

It has been a month since Christmas. We keep busy with all our after school activities.

I am putting together a slideshow for Alex and his friends' Arrow of Light Ceremony. I went up to take some more pictures of 'my' boys. I love these kids!

This year for Destination Imagination I'm sharing the workload with my buddy. Our team is 3 5th grade girls and their little brothers. Ryan is the lone Black in the group. Maybe next year we'll have just the four boys do it...

From my youth I heard rumors that I am part Native American, and having brown hair and brown eyes (the only grandchild in the Staudt family with those traits) Gma Betty would call me her Indian Princess. It is true that I DO have NA in me but I'm not sure that I've found the one that everyone refers to. Anyway, I found myself making arrows for two awesome boys last week. I even used arrowheads found in NWA (by Gma Betty herself). Maybe arrow making does run in my veins... not bad for a novice, right?

 

This is what Macey's dinner looked like the other night when she got to load her plate. Bacon and Doritos. Huh, not going to grow many brain cells on that diet.

I went out for Girls' Night last week. We went to Dave and Busters. We had fun conversation and yummy food.

We even played a few games. 4 person air hockey was our favorite.

Lucy went to the groomers. It is nice to see her face and her eyelashes. The rest of her is a choppy fluff still. It is winter and I didn't want her fur too short.

At pack meeting we had a magic show. Our buddy Nico performed for his friends. It was great!
