January

We started off January with below freezing temperatures.  We still went into the city to the Downton exhibit and out to lunch since Grandma and Grandpa were around so we had free baby sitting.  It was a really beautiful exhibit that had the rooms in addition to costumes.  We went out to lunch and then headed home, that was as much cold as we could handle.

Basketball season has begun.  We have a game every weekend.  Munchkin is by far the tallest kid on his team by maybe 9 inches.  We had another snow which the kids love.

For Martin Luther Day weekend we had normal activities of basketball and dressing up like a pirate princess.  Sunday I headed into the city to go to Vogue Knitting.  I took a class with Tin Can Knits on designing a sweater and Veera on stripes.  They were great.  I got some inspiration from it.

The third weekend of January our girl had a PJ party for one of her friends since she was a baby.  She baked and ate breakfast.

Saturday afternoon we went to our first real FLL qualifier.  The boys did well.  They won best research award, but didn’t move on to the finals.  They are pretty impressive presenters.

We went and registered Pearl for Kindergarten.  She was such a big girl going off to talk with the teacher on her own.

We had another basketball game.  Munchkin is getting better at being aggressive about blocking and getting the ball as the season went on.
