Back to the grind









Well grandpa and grandma have gone home. We had a great visit and did lots of fun things! The kids were so excited to see some familiar faces and also some more Christmas gifts to open. Kaylee played a lot of barbies and games and Avery did many dance recitals for them. Zack liked playing outside with them and showing them around. We went to a place called Out Of Africa which was so much fun. They got to hold a skink and a lizard so that was a highlight. The kids enjoyed the tiger show and feeding the animals. I think the highlight was the talking birds at the end. They were a hoot! The kids thought it was so funny that they could say words! We even went to Sedona for a day and it was so beautiful! The kids want to go back so we can go exploring. On the way we also went through a town that is a mining ghost town so we are going to go back there also.

Today was back to school and with just a few groans (from Zack) we got it done and even did some painting of portraits. This week we are going to start on a lapbook of Bejamin Franklin since Zack is so interested in inventions. He has so many dreams it is such a blessing to be a part of that and even to help him explore his dreams. If he was in public school he might not have the time to dream so big!

We are also getting our house ready for our next visitor! Gram will be flying in on Sunday and the kids can hardly wait. We even had to leave our tree up so we could open presents with her! She will be staying for three weeks while daddy goes for training. We will be doing some fun things with her as well!

Tomorrow is another school day but we are also going to the library and going swimming at the YMCA. We will have a great day!
