November 2022

 As I write this blog it is the week before Christmas, the kids have a snow day and it is snowing huge snowflakes. So beautiful.  

On to our November adventures...

Both Alexis and Cole participated in the Lego club after school.  The challenge this meeting was to build a bridge and a boat.

Cole loves cuddling with Max

And Midnight

The school principle said she would become a human sundae if we raised over $40k in the jog-a-thon.  We did this!  Here is the assembly.  Students who ran the most laps or raised the most money were able to add the toppings.  Alexis ran the most laps in her class and is on the right ladder putting marshmallows on her.  

We missed school in October when we were in California.  We got a postcard from our school bus driver.  He is just the best.

Attending one of Alexis's soccer games.  It was a bit cold that morning.

We attended a birthday party at Defy.  It is a trampoline park.  I can always find Cole in the dodgeball court with older kids.  He has no fear.


Singing Happy Birthday.  He is just so cute.

Alexis was awarded the Bear of the Week for being kind.  Each week one student in each class is awarded this honor based on being a BEARS. (Be kind, Excellent effort, Always listening, Respect self and others, Serve to all.)

We were all sick for Thanksgiving. So we celebrated at our home and my mom and sister at my mom's place:(  Alexis's birthday was on the Friday after Thanksgiving. She was sick for it too.  So no pictures.

As I write this Alexis is home sick.  Hoping we are all well for Christmas:)
