Short version
Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:59AM Oy. Busy. Here's a quick run-down of what we've been up to:
- A couple weeks ago, Nathan took me to The Melting Pot (yum! omg...we'd not been there before and it was awesome!) and then to see an improv show at The Lincoln Center. It was two guys who used to be on that tv show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and it was fabulously hilarious!
;)
- We finally decorated the tree. :)
- We (well, Asher and I, since Micah was still recovering from croup and Noah volunteered to watch him rather than go talk to (mostly younger) kids) had a great time at a cookie exchange with friends. Yummy! Honestly, though, for all that we love the cookies, we were mostly thrilled with the time with friends...so blessed!
- I started back to boot camp after two weeks off thanks to walking pneumonia. Ouch. It's rather unfair how quickly one loses any gains in fitness! ;)
- I managed to get a picture of the boys with Santa up in Old Town Fort Collins:
;)
Hee hee. Noah forgot that I told him last year that last year was the last time I'd make him be in the picture. Don't tell. :) Just saying...I'm not one to squander an opportunity, lol. I fed him well just beforehand, so he wasn't actually as grumpy as he looks. (Mostly, he was just worried that people were staring at him, lol.)
- Asher earned his high red belt in karate!
;)
So proud of the boy! Only two more belts before he'll test for his black belt!
- The next day (12/14/13), Asher also had a winter clarinet recital. He performed about half a dozen songs and sounded wonderful. (His instructor noted that at least one or two of the songs were ones that he normally doesn't assign until students have been taking lessons for a couple years...Asher's only been taking lessons since September and was included.)
- The day after that, Noah and Micah had another JOAD tournament. :) This one was down in Denver and they both did a dandy job and are happy to now have a wee break for Christmas.
- And, as of yesterday, all of our Christmas packages and cards are now officially in the mail!! (The ones we plan to hand deliver don't count, lol.) Whew!
So, that's what we've been up to. We'll wrap up our homeschooling on Friday and then have a lovely (and much needed) little break...
