Student of the Month

As I alluded to last week, we had something extra going on this week.  Drum roll, please...

RJ was named First Grade Student of the Month for Principles of American Citizenship: Honesty.  He was nominated by his teacher and then chosen by the other teachers and the principal.  Jip and I are very proud.  And, RJ was pretty proud of himself.







The blue sign gets to be in our window for a few weeks.

Way to go, RJ!  Love ya, buddy!

The rest of the week was pretty normal.  We had a chilly weekend, so we didn't get to do anything outside.  On Saturday, Jip took the kids to Jump for an hour of jumping on the trampolines to get rid of the stir-craziness.  But, the cabin fever returned on Sunday.  We're not going to get much relief this week, either.  Hopefully, school will be their outlet!

The kids finally got to finish putting their rooms back together, as it is now okay to have stuff on their dressers.  So, here are a few more pics.  First, Ryleigh's nightstand with pink drawers, her crystal lamp with color-changing bulb, snapshots hanging on pom pom fringe with glittered clothespins we made, and a couple other wall things I made.


And, RJ's artwork above his bed:



And, finally, RJ's nightstand with the small copper pulls Jip made.  The clear lamp base you see will be filled with Legos as soon as they get here from Denmark.


It's going to be a chilly week, but hopefully it will be otherwise non-eventful.  As always, pics to come.  Until next time, cheers!
