Spring Break

We do not have a lot planned for Spring Break which means there will be a lot of time at home with the children (pretty much Joe home with the children). For the most part, the children get along pretty well with minor arguments here and there. However, yesterday they started to fight with their light sabers as seen in Star Wars. Keylee insists on being called Queen Amidala and refers to Kira as Ahsoka Tano. Keylee also insists on calling Keenan Obi Wan Kenobi. There have been times where Keylee even insists that Keenan put on his Halloween costume as Obi Wan Kenobi before engaging in "the fight." I am just glad that Keylee has decided she can fight in these fights without wearing her Cinderella dress. Hopefully, we are moving out of that phase.

I am just glad it is Joe at home refereeing these fights.

Keylee's First Haircut

Keylee turned three years old this past November. She has never had a haircut. I finally decided it is time to take some length off her golden locks. I told Keylee she was going to get a haircut. When Keylee arrived she asked Amy, the gal that cut her hair, "can you cut my hair like Cinderella?" I am sure Amy had to do some scrubbing on her hair considering Keylee insists that she wash her own hair when she takes a shower and I know she rarely gets all the shampoo out that she puts in.

The cutting begins. . . . snip-snip

The final results

Meet Baby Jesus

Today, Keylee came up to me and said, "Hey Mom you know what my baby's name is?" I said, "No." She said, "His name is Baby Jesus." I smiled as she ran back to her room to play. Then, tonight as we were going to Mass she told me "don't forget my baby Jesus." I grabbed him and out the door we went. I could not stop laughing during Mass. Every time Father said "Jesus" Keylee would shout out, "Hey that is my baby's name too." I can honestly say I did not hear much of the message at Mass tonight as Keylee was cracking me up. Next week, we will leave baby Jesus at home he was too distracting during Mass.

CHAMPION!!!

We are so proud of Keenan. He wrestled a great tournament today taking first place! Keenan, Kira, Keylee and Keenan's friend Saylor.

No wrestling tournament is complete without snow cones!

Keenan with his biggest fan of the day, Saylor

Keenan with his buddy Sydney

My friend, Tanna, came out to cheer Keenan on. It is always a challenge when the weather is bad, the parking is slim and there are four hundred wrestlers to battle through but Tanna and Brian made it out for the second year in a row!

Reading

Keenan is super excited that he is learning to read. He asked if he could do silent reading every night like Kira does.

Confused

Clearly Keylee is confused these days. She can't decide if she is a princess, superhero or a cheerleader. All I know is she makes us smile.

Snow Day

Joe and the kids had a snow day today and were able to enjoy the first major snow of Winter. I came home for lunch to find Joe still outside scooping the driveway and the kids were inside making hot chocolate. Can you say mess??? I was able to enjoy the first major snow on my way to work and I will say the road crews were not out yet. I was/am thankful for my 4-wheel drive.
