Reagan has a 90 word spelling test this week. We have been studying for while. Sunday we decided to write all the "difficult words" in their vowel categories. It helped Reagan immensely- she had to spell the word and put it in all the categories it fit. She would "sing" the word over and over until she was finished. It was fun.
Today was nice so we decided to go to the park and play ball. Before we began the kids (and Dale) ran 1 mile around the track (we are going to be logging in a few miles a week to be ready for the race in April.)
after that we had to create our own bases...
Tonight was the last 2 games of the basketball season. Pregame we met our friends, the Walseth's, at Chick-fil-a for dinner. Unfortunately Luke hates doesn't care for their food so he brought his own lunch.
Anyway... we arrived at the game at 6:00 and the 5 boys warmed up. That's right. 5 boys played back-to-back basketball games tonight. They were amazing! The first game they won 16-10. The second game was a bit tougher. The opposing team was rough. All our boys played great but Luke was on FIRE (not that I am prejudice or anything). He passed to everyone, dribbled around players and scored a bunch. All of the boys scored at least once, they worked hard and were very encouraging to one another. The final score of the game was 24-18.
My pictures are terrible. I have not mastered moving photography but I couldn't not post them!
Tonight the guys got together to cook dinner for the ladies. They got together, decided on an Asian theme (which fits cause 2 of them are Asian), searched recipes, shopped AND cooked the 4 course meal! We had sushi and wontons, miso soup, kabobs and rice and ended the evening with malasadas and ice cream. Everything was so delicious! They even cleaned up the kitchen.
It was a perfect evening...
Yesterday I took the girls downtown for a sleepover. We had a great view, ate good food, played games, swam, walked to Yo My Goodness for a treat and stayed up late to watch a movie (and snuggle in our king bed). It was fun to relax, just the girls.
Carsyn took over the second we checked in. She was always in charge of the room key, where we were going and how to get there and she put everything in its place when we got to the room. As we got on the elevator she even held the door and asked, "Is there anyone else coming?" (there was a group standing outside the elevator door.) She is getting so big. I am so proud of my girl.
We had a lot of fun!!
our view...
