Cars!

Recently, the boys have been going through my sketchbooks from when I was younger and they have found out how much I used to draw.  Now they have recruited me to be their official drawer of cars.  They then take my cars drawings and color them in to their liking.

Report cards and parent teacher appointments

The boys recently got their report cards and I am happy to say they got top marks.  We also had a parent- teacher appointment.  The teachers only had great things to say about them.  The boys showed me their portfolio and other work they had done.  One of the things they made was a diarama.  They each had one, but Ajay has moved all his creatures into Maddox's.

They have been learning about polar bears and have made a book about what they learned.

Snowmen

I think spring is coming... But that is only because it is warming up and snowing more.  Also we are finally getting good snowman snow.  The boys and I had a great time making the snowmen one afternoon.  We were trying to make one for everyone in our family, but we got tired after three.

The boys Art Gallery

The boys have been working decorating their bedroom walls.  They really enjoy drawing superheros, robots and cars.  Ajay's pictures are the ones with the superman poster, Maddox's is the other.

Happy 70th birthday to my father-in-law!

Yesterday we went to my father-in-law, Alvin's house to celebrate his 70th birthday.

Here he is with a photo of when he was approximately 40 years old.

We, the kids bought him an expensive bottle of cognac.

Cake time!
