A little much....

We've been taken over by the nuloom craze! We don't eat, interact, or sleep....


It started with Uncle Josh buying 3 bags of bands at Academy, but it didn't come with a loom. So, Jason watched some youtube videos, and figured out how to make some by holding a pair of scissors. After making a bunch, they ran out of bands, so he went back and bought more. 

Sigh....

See how many Maggie is wearing! Jason's made all the "big" ones, but Kylee has really gotten the hang of it, and has made about 20 of the simple ones!!


Jason's made some weird things like this HUGE "K", and he made a person with arms and legs. I think it's gotten out of hand!

Pot Holders


Christmas at my Grandmother's house we always play bingo, well the next generation of great-grandkids has taken over the enjoyment of the bingo playing.

Kylee won a pot-holder making kit. One of the aunts said they would like one if she would make some. We'll in an effort to not leave out any of dad's sisters, we made 3. She has to have quite a bit of help making them. She made some cards to go with each one too!! 

I hope they like them!

Park Play Date

Park play dates are my favorite!! We met up with some Holik cousins on Monday! The park was crowded being MLK Day, and no school, but we had a great time with the warmer weather!!


Maggie loved the see-saw!! Can't believe she'll be 2 before long!!

Chubby Cheeks Friday


On Friday, we hung out at the library a little bit. After lunch, we took a quick trip to Midland to check out a furniture store. Jason and the kids at Baskin Robbins while I looked around. We were only there about an hour; ate at a burger joint, and then headed back home. The kids did so good in the car! It was a nice quick trip!

Chore Charts


We got a chore chart from MOPS last week; you can write in what chores you want them to do, and it only last for a week. 

Kylee is the only one with an actual chart, but the other ones are enjoying it too! 

Her chores are:

Make your Bed
Get Dressed
Brush your Teeth

That's all we have on their for now; obviously these are to do in the morning. She pretty much already did them except the make the bed part; hoping this will help it become a habit!

She does other chores throughout the day, but I don't have them listed yet. We are starting small.

Lego Mania

Our kids love Lego's. I don't really remember playing with Lego's growing up, maybe they are more of a toy for boys. But our kids, have grown an interest in them.

Last Christmas we got the 2 BIG green building squares because Jason said they needed some of those to build taller buildings on. Those have been fun. And he is the king of building the tallest lego buildings.  Although Kylee beat he one night building this tall guy! 



We'll this year at Christmas, I saw on Amazon they had some "Education Lego's"; they have these tubes and slides, cups, and balls to go down the tubes. Anyways, I thought they looked cool, and boy are they!


Kylee dropped her ball in; you can see the red lines on the last cup. That's her ball going through! 



Jaxon dropping his ball in the chute!


They really are pretty cool, and they've been playing with them nearly every night!

Kylee's Science Experiment

Our library group got together for a science experiment, with a "real" science teacher! :)

Kylee kept asking me what "science" was! She had a good time with some future classmates!

They made a water and oil and food coloring bottle thing, and put a frog in it! And they made pink silly putty!


And then my favorite, they made ICE CREAM! Which of course, is right up Kylee's alley!
