This and that..

Well it has been a slower week.. Austin had off Monday and Tuesday and Dan was on vacation, so we took a short trip to Oklahoma. It was cold! We hung out with my brother and his girlfriend, Ashley most of the time and had dinner at their house with my parents. We ate and then played UNO. HA ha...that was an experience. It was nice getting to see them for a while. We came back early for Dan to play basketball and then after we got back found out it was canceled! O well!

We have been working on a class project for Austin. It is called Flat Stanley and he had to color him and then send him out to different people. It was a neat project. Stanley went to Tennessee, was faxed to China and flew to Baltimore with Robbie. After getting pictures and stories we had top place it in a folder for Austin to take back to school. It turned out very neat.
Austin has several other projects coming up over the next 2 weeks. He gets to pick an American Hero (from a list) and become him and give an oral presentation. Austin was mad that Teddy Roosevelt wasn't an option. But right now he is leaning toward Ben Franklin, Davey Crockett, and Abe Lincoln. So we will see. Then the 100th day of school is coming and he has to make a project using a 100 of one item. Lots of fun to keep us busy along with Cub scouts and Valentine's coming soon.

Caitlin has been busy dancing and singing. She has really gotten into all of that stuff. She watched a High School music type thing the other night and was loving it and wanted to jump rope with them! :-) Never a dull moment here!

Sending hugs to all!
