Today we actually went to school. It was 2 hours late but we went. When we got home Mama let me try my hand at making sweet iced tea. I did a great job. I made a raspberry tea and it's pretty tasty, if I do say so myself!

                                     

Later we went to Nana and Papi's house to celebrate our Auntie Tori's 27th birthday! We hung out with and shared our dinner with our cousin Chance! He loves hanging with his big boy cousins!

                                   

                                    

Then we got to help Auntie Tori blow our her birthday candles. It was a fun Thursday night!

                                     

                                     

This morning turned out to be better than we expected! The 2 hour delay changed into a school closure and that was music to our ears! We started the morning with a healthy breakfast...



Then we got to watch a little Ellen's Game of Games that we had recorded. That show is hilarious!



Then it was time for some double Risk! Nothing better than board games on a snow day!



Then I got to help Mama make us all some hot chocolate! It was delicious. And I put 800 mini marshmallows in mine!

                                      



Then there was a snow squall. It's kind of hard to tell but the wind blew the snow everywhere. It was crazy out there! And we were glad to be warm and toasty in here!

Then I got to help Mama make banana muffins. I wanted to do it all myself but we did share a little of the tasks with my brothers. I got to do the most though...

                                     

                                     

                                      

While we waited for the muffins to bake we did some reading, played some Strategy and ran around like maniacs...

                                     

When the muffins were done they smelled SO GOOD! And boy did they taste good too! We loved them. We made some with chocolate chips and some without. YUM!! I wanted to eat two but Mama said no way!

                                     



Then we played some air hockey and did more playing. 

                                      

After dinner we all worked on one of the puzzles that MeMa and PopPop gave us. We're really making good progress!





                                      

                                      

                                     

This morning Mama met MeMa AND PopPop at the nail salon to have pedicures! They all loved it, especially PopPop! They had to hurry up because our school was getting out early because it was gonna start snowing...



And it started snowing just as we were being dismissed from school. And we're really lucky because Mama brought us all a treat! Penguin cake pops from Starbucks. They were almost too cute to eat...almost! They were as yummy as they were cute!



And then Daddy got home thankfully. And it snowed and snowed. It wasn't sticking to much but the grass and it made the roads all wet but we were happy to be snuggled up in the house!





Then we decided to have some of Daddy's world famous nachos for dinner. And I got to make the guacamole!! It was super yummy. Mama said she loved it and we even got to use it on our nachos. I thought I did a pretty good job too!

                                    

                                    

And it was all so good!





Later we did some drawing and playing and reading. We got to stay up a little later since we already heard we'd have a 2 hour delayed opening on Wednesday. Hooray for snow days!

This morning we all went to mass with Mama and we all wore our uniforms which earned us all a free tag day on February 4th! After mass we went over to the open house at our school where Mama was volunteering and we volunteered to eat the cookies and hang around with our friends and Daddy!

                                     

Later I got to go to my first PlayMakers class at the Round House Theater in Silver Spring. It was awesome and I had a great time with my buddy Liam. I can't wait to go back next week.

                                     

                                     

When we got home Mama bought a loaf of bread so that we could make sandwiches to take to school tomorrow to support Martha's Table. We made LOTS of sandwiched. We hope it will make someone's belly full and heart happy.







We did lots of playing with friends inside and out today. Liam and Joseph. Then Mama made some real chicken stock in our Instant Pot out of a chicken carcass and lots of vegetables! It smelled phenomenal!

                                      

                                      

After dinner we got cleaned up and ready for bed. Finn did a great job reading us his library book. Then we played for a little bit before heading to bed. Back to school tomorrow!

                                     

This morning I had basketball bright and early and Daddy took me today. It was lots of fun and we had a great game!

                                     

                                     

                                     

                                    

While Jax was at basketball we got to have a leisurely morning with a fantastic home made breakfast! It was great! then Jax came home and we all played outside and inside.







Then it was my turn for basketball. I had a great practice and scrimmage. And I had lots of fun with my buddy Gabe who's on my team.

                                     

                                     

Then I got to go to my buddy Jack's birthday party at Climb Zone! I was a little nervous when we first looking at all those tall climbing walls but Mama told me that I only had to climb as high as I wanted to and that made sense to me!

                                     

                                     

                                     

And off I went! I started with the shark wall. I did great!

                                   

Next I tried the dino bones..

                                     

Then the book case...

                                     

And then I couldn't be stopped! I wanted to try every wall. I was having so much fun! And I was a sweaty mess. Which I love!

                                     

My buddy Micheal and I raced up the New York city wall because it was a two person wall. It was so much fun and we both went higher than we'd been before!

                                   

                                     

It was really fun rappelling down too!

                                     

                                      

Then we took our harnesses off and tried some of the bounce slides and houses. That was a blast too! We wrestled and jumped around. It was so much fun!

                                      

                                     

                                     

Then it was time for Ledo's pizza, fruit and then cake!! Yay!







Then I wanted to do MORE CLIMBING! I could not be stopped. Mama had to finally put an end to it or we would have been there all night!

                                     

                                    

                                     

Later we got to go to MeMa and PopPop's house for dinner. We had Chinese Food and it was delicious! And it was so much fun hanging out with MeMa and PopPop!





                                     

                                      



It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday night!
