This will be a short little blog but something is better than nothing, right?

We’re reached the snowy season in Michigan and, given that it’s late late January, that’s not too bad. Of course we could have another two months of snow on the horizon so ask me how I feel at the end of March.

The boys started after school chess on Mondays. (Amaya has girl scouts.) I heard there are 20 kids in the program! They came home with chess workbooks and have weekly homework. Any shot I had of beating the boys is in the rearview mirror.

Wednesday was a snow day and thank goodness for Sophia who was able to spend the full day with the kids. They spent a good chunk of the day on new lego sets they got for their birthdays.

Steven channeled Cousin It on Friday morning.

The kids had a very busy weekend, especially Amaya. Amaya had a playdate at her friend Dylan’s house from 9am- 12pm on Saturday. The boys had a birthday party from 2- 4:30 that Amaya was invited to at the last minute. And then we had two friends sleep over (Clarie and Elly).

And, today, when Amaya got home from another birthday party – spa themed.

That’s our short update for the week!
