2017 Winter Break

The girls have had a week off from school and for the most part we've had a low key restful break.  Mom took Thursday off to have some fun ice skating and visiting the arcade at the mall but sadly Stella had a fever the entire day so we cancelled those plans.  Fortunately we watched 'Finding Dory' a few days earlier and learned sometimes the best things that happen to us aren't planned!  She was sad for a bit but then conceded to not feeling well and rested on the couch for the day.

Some of the things we did over break were foot baths, watched Beauty and the Beast (2x) - which Mommy didn't mind because it's her favorite princess movie, and watching  basketball.  Daddy and Joey faced off for the Class C Championship and it was a great game.  The Panther's fell to the Larries by only four points.  On the way home Stella said 'Now we get to see daddy more!', so it's hard to feel down about the loss for long.  We are happy to have daddy home at night with us!  Stella and Mommy also began chapter books.  On President's day when Mom was home all day we read through an entire Rainbow Magic book together taking turns.  Stella loves to read and this is something quiet we can do together.  Claire also skipped gymnastics this week for a special occasion of another classmate birthday party - this time at the arcade, which she loves.  Daddy helped her win a stuffed Shopkins D'lish Donut!

Here are some pics from our week:
