Cole had his 6th grade check up at the doctor today. Everything showed up good and he only got one shot.

What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or could you just not bear to look?

Lilli is wearing shoes for the first time in her life. She did not like them at all. She just stood there and did not know what to do. Later I took her hand and tried to walk with her. She was picking her feet up high in the air and clomping them down like a horse. So funny!

I took Madi to a nature center in Crystal Lake where she earned a Brownie badge on animals. Those are bees that she is looking at - a LOT of bees!

My cousin, Gary, came in from Iowa tonight to stay with us before he left for Maryland on Saturday. His wife, Erin, came and surprised him to help him celebrate his accomplishment of Chief Petty Officer that he had just received that day.

Cole found a Snuggie at Miranda's house. (Cole, Shelby and Annie had a sleepover there last night) Back at our house the kids slid down the hill on a big chunk of ice.

This is the second pan of brownies that Annie has made, all by herself, from scratch, in the past 3 days. Yummy!

Cole tried shooting some arrows at these waterballoons...it didn't work very well, he bent an arrow and decided to give up on that idea. Then he tried an airsoft gun...it worked a little better.

He got his karate uniform, today. And, he had his first belt test. He'll find out next Wednesday what belt he earned.
