Photo A Day: End of the Month

So here we go with the last eleven days of January.  Are you as shocked that February starts tomorrow as I am?  I’m not sure where the whole month went.

Day 21: Martin Luther King Jr Day.  Jamie wrote a little note and left it on my bed.  She’s such a sweetie.

Day 22:  A whole lotta gum in the house.  Mazie has requested a few different types of gum since she will be able to enjoy a piece here and there soon!

Day 23:  Early morning choir practice…looks at those puffy eyes…Day 24:  All those early morning choir practices paid off since the whole choir was selected to play at the CMEA (music teacher conference) at the Broadmoor.  Odyssey was one of 6 (out of 100) elementary schools selected!  They sounded great too.  We couldn’t take any pictures inside though since it was a conference.

Day 25:  Jamie and Jacob had a little time before school to play on the computer.  They were baking something where they got points for putting the ingredients in the bowl and then putting it in the oven.  I think there was a part to decorate it too.  It is a game to learn the computer functions better.  I just liked that they were playing together and not fighting:-)!

Day 26: iPad game: Stack the States.  It’s great if you want to learn about all the states and where they go in our country.  Jacob is actually really good at knowing where they are on the map after playing a few hundred times.

Day 27:  Mazie’s backpack, which conveniently rolls since she refuses to keep any of her books in her locker and weighs more than she does, and flute bag ready for school tomorrow.  She keeps it by the front door.

Day 28: After school craziness…Jamie and Jacob unloading all their goodies from school and then packing their snacks and lunches for the next day. 

Day 29:  After supper playing…with Mazie’s Barbies.  At least Jacob was playing with Ken tonight…

Day 30:  I thought it was kind of cool to see the icicles hanging off the tree and dripping this morning.

Day 31:  No more braces AND she lost another tooth.  Not too bad gaining a dollar after getting her expander and braces off.  On the way back to school, she chewed a piece of spearmint gum and was whistling.  Two things she apparently missed.  She couldn’t believe how big her mouth felt after everything was out. 

So there was our month in pictures.  Nothing fancy but fun, nonetheless.  Looking forward to Feel Good February!
