Back to building forts

Our biggest accomplishment this week was Charlie getting his broken tooth fixed (at least temporarily). The dentist used filling material and shaped it to his tooth and by the end of the week, he was back to his old self, minus eating whole apples ... we'll be slicing them for awhile. Fred and I celebrated our 15th anniversary last Thursday by attending the elementary open house at school. We visited Lucy and Charlie's class. They're going to have a great year! Charlie wrote us a note that included gems like "Welcome to my desk. Please don't scratch it" and "let mom do all the talking." He also had to write a page of "I Am ..." The first few lines read: "I am funny dad and angry mom. I am no climbing on the furniture and homework first. I am mine craft and youtube." His teacher said he has a great sense of humor. :) Lucy continues to be an enthusiastic learner and loves everything about school. Max has adjusted well to the new middle school routine (lots of teachers, lots of homework). He's playing middle school soccer and will start other after school activities soon - he's hoping to do Science Lab. We'll find out later this week which activities Max and Lucy will be doing first trimester. Charlie is hoping for basketball and Lucy for yoga and dance. Yesterday I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of the kids all week for the blog, so I quickly took a few ... eating crepes at our favorite creperie for lunch yesterday, followed by swimming at the school. Max likes getting his picture taken as much as his dad. Please note Lucy wears jewelry even when swimming. Its her Frozen ring that gives her superpowers. Have a great week everyone!
