Things still feel at a manageable pace, but we can feel the brunt of tax season sneaking up. It was a quiet week as we settled into our new normal.

There are games out on the kitchen table nearly everyday during the long, dark winter. Different games, different opponents, different degrees of competition...all so fun! Current favorites: Chess, Rummikub, Sequence, Catan.

I had work and then a work meeting, so I was out of the house for 12 hours. Avery watched her little cousin and her little brother and left me this checklist. The training is hard, the payoff is worth it. :)

Aiden hasn't learned to love basketball yet, but sometimes he gets inspired to get better at it.

Rare: 1.) a quiet Saturday morning when all the kids are awake and home at the same time. 2.) me allowing them to be on a screen for a purpose other than homework. I love watching the five of them be kids together, laughing at silly Madagascar clips.
Amy and several kids came to watch Aiden play basketball. We love cousin time!!
Maybe its the cold, but there was lots of baking happening at our house (and learning fractions! :)
How did Avery luck out with no homework? Sweet! And I LOVE Madagascar - the penguins are psychotic (they really really are).
