January 2015

We've had a low key month.  It's been really nice after the busy holidays.  We've had movie nights at home.  We've hung out with family.  We've gone to the Children's Museum.  We've gone to Amigos a few times--as if we could have a month go by without Amigos!

Last weekend a car was broke into at our apartment complex.  A few days later a note was put on everyone's doors requesting that we contact the LPD if we had any information.  The girls asked what the note said and then used their 4 and 6 year old logic to solve the problem/prevent it from happening again.  Mena said they needed to put a fence around the whole apartment complex and then the manager would have to let us in when we came home.  Maggie declared this would take too long at night because "she would have to get out of bed and take off her pajamas and get dressed and brush her teeth and brush her hair and put in ponytails or maybe she'd want barrettes; she'd have to decide; and oh my gosh.  I forgot flossing.  She needs to floss her teeth."  I thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment of their thinking!!

I've been student teaching and we've gotten used to a new schedule of getting up earlier and coming home earlier.  None of us care for leaving at 6:50 am in the morning but the girls really like it when I can pick them up at 4 pm rather than 5 or 5:30 pm.  Life is good and we're all counting down to when I graduate in May!!
