Today when mama walked us in to school she got to see my funny Snow Man art on the wall!



After school my buddy Gabriel got to come over for a play date. We played some iPads then we went outside for a while then we ran around with my brothers and played some air hockey. We had a great time together and I hope next time I get to go to Gabe's house!



                                     

                                      

                                    

Later all the big boys came over. Liam, Emmett and Micheal. We played iPads then we went outside to play some nighttime mushroom ball. Then we came in and ran around. Mama made her ham and cheese crescents and we had some Domino's pizza while the adults drank wine, ate meats and cheeses and talked. It was a great Friday night.







                                     

                                     

We even ended the night with a little friendly game of Uno and some laughs! Then our friend Liam got to have a sleep over!



                                    

Daddy set us up with a great slumber party bed on the floor. And Jax stayed comfy cozy in his big bed!



                                     

Today my class did their African American Biography presentations. We all dressed like our famous African Americans and spoke about what they are famous for. Mine was George Washington Carver. I talked all about everything I learned about him. I did a really great job!



Mama and Daddy said I looked great. I also spoke loudly and clearly and did a great presentation. Everyone thought I did a really nice job. Daddy and Mama were so proud!

                                    

Even Kai and I got to watch Finn do his presentation. That was a special treat for us and for Finn!

                                     

When we were done with presentations we got to do a gallery walk and check out everyone's projects. It was fun to see everyone's great posters and all the hard work that everyone did.



                                     

Later my buddy Liam got to come over. We played for a while then we did our homework. Then we played some more. It was a great night!

Today was THE best day because Mama subbed in my class today. All day! We had a great day. We did all our work and were super well behaved and then Mama let us have free time. It was a great day and I love it when Mama is in my class all day!







Later Daddy helped me do my homework at home. I'm getting better at spelling because Daddy and Mama are helping me a lot with it.

                                     

Then we got to work on our nightly exercise routine. Daddy and Mama supervised and we got to work on our laps, steps, planks, jumping jacks, etc. We're getting stronger every day!

                                    

Today was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and poor Mama had to go to work, but we got to have the day off and hang out with Daddy for a boys morning. It was bitterly cold out so we stayed home most of the morning. Then Mama came to meet us in the afternoon at the White Oak duck pin lanes!

                                    

                                      

We got to have fries and fruit punch mixed with sprite. Boy was it packed at the bowling alley!



                                     

                                     

It was a super fun afternoon! We had so much fun and it was the perfect end to a nice, long weekend!

                                    

                                    



When we got home I got to work finishing my George Washington Carver Biography project. I had a lot of fun doing it and I learned a lot about a really good man.

                                   

                                   

And I got some trumpet practicing in. I've been doing really well with my practicing and I'm getting better and better at it. And Jax and Finn think it's really funny when I do my elephant impression!

                                     

Later Mama made a whole roasted cauliflower and we all got to try some and boy was it good! We love some roasted veggies!

                                    



Later Finn read us all his school library book. It was a really good one and Finn is becoming a really good reader. I love it when my big brothers read to me!

Today was a cold, windy day outside. So, Daddy made us an amazing lunch a pallooza charcuterie board. Then I worked on my African American Biography project. I'm almost done!





Then Daddy and I played some Battleship while Finn and Jax and Joseph played upstairs. Then Daddy got to work getting all of the Christmas decorations put away. He was freezing but he got the tree down and all the outside decorations. He was working hard!



Then we had a yummy pasta and shrimp dinner and facetimed with Nana and Papi. It was funny. We checked out the big blood moon and then we got haircuts and showers. Then we hunkered down to watch the movie Space Jam! It was a fun day and we're excited to sleep in tomorrow since we're off school for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

                                     

This morning started bright and early for Mama and I at my basketball practice and scrimmage. I did great practicing and then my team won our game. It was lots of fun!





                                     





Then it was time for my practice and scrimmage at noon. And I was so happy because Cousin Frank and Keith came to watch me play and hang out with us!





I did really well and they all had fun on the sidelines watching me play!





Then we got to go to the Pub for lunch. And MeMa and PopPop came to meet us! It was a great surprise! I got to try a reuben sandwich for the first time and it was delicious.





                                     



We had such a fun afternoon. And when we got home I got to help Mama make an America's Test Kitchen test recipe for Pineapple Upside Down Cake! It was a lot of steps but I was a really big help and we had lots of fun making it!





                                     

Then we all got to help Mama make the Instant Pot Clam Chowder for dinner! Kai got to do some chopping and Jax and I got to put everything in the pot and stir it up. It was lots of fun.

                                      



The cake came out beautifully!

                                    

And the soup turned out so well. It was delicious and we all ate it all up. We can't wait to make it again!

                                    

                                     

Oh and dessert was pretty dang good too!



Then I did a little trumpet practicing before we all headed upstairs to hunker down and watch the movie Jumanji! It was an awesome Saturday!
