Quiet Week

It was a quiet week in our house.  The kids went to BrickHeadZ camp in the mornings Tuesday through Thursday and all day Friday.  They had a great time!   The kids also had lots of playtime over the weekend with Aless and Ryan.  We played a little Xbox, a few board games, taught the kids rummy, watched Ferdinand in the theater, watched lots of movies at home, and more. 

It was a week or organizing for Jip and me.  The Christmas decorations were down a little bit earlier than planned in order to get them down before the bitter cold set in.  Everything was back in the storage unit Saturday.  Then Jip went to town in the garage, building more shelving, moving his tool bench, and generally rearranging things to make room for bigger kids' bikes and just for things to make more sense.  We are waiting for a new outdoor shed to arrive to make things even better.  We found a local organization that will take the old kids' bikes, polish them up, and GIVE them to kids who need bikes.  The bike trailer is on Craig's List, and hopefully we have a buyer who will be coming by on Wednesday and helping us clear out even more space.  I sorted kids' clothes and got things that were too small put in bins to hand down to cousins.  The playroom got cleaned multiple times by this mama, too.

We didn't take any pictures this week, but I did make a little video of Ryleigh doing a little dance in our driveway.  We posted the video on her dance studio's Facebook page as part of a contest.  Ryleigh won a tutu for it and won a Barbie video for another entry that I made on another day.  Ryleigh can't wait to get her new lavender tutu!


Everything is back in full swing this week.  Dance classes, gymnastics, Ninja Zone, and Robotics are all waiting to welcome the kiddos back.  As always, pics to come.  Until next time, cheers!
