52 Weeks ~ 2017: Week 1

The 52 Week Project weekly recap includes my first school board meeting, a no school day, first week of ski club for the boys, play practice and first basketball session for the littlest.

Tuesday January 3rd

Today was my first school board meeting and it was such a cool feeling to walk in and see my nameplate.  It was an uneventful first meeting, but I'm looking forward to the budget sessions and fighting for Full Day Kindergarten for our school district!

I have a nameplate!

Wednesday January 4th

Today the two oldest kids got the day off.  A water main valve was found to be leaking and needed to be replaced.  It required the water to the building to be shut off during the repair, which means that they could not be in the building.  It was hard to tell Evan that he had to go to school while his older brothers got to stay home.  David made him a special breakfast though, which made him feel a little better.  The boys enjoyed a special impromptu lunch out at Panera and made the most of their day off by using some of their STEM toys.

Lego Education!

Electricity and Magnetism

Rare teamwork!

Thursday January 5th

Today was the first session of Ski Club!  The boys had a blast and Evan jump 2 levels from where he left off last year.  He is officially ahead of me!

My little skier!

Saturday January 7th

Today was Evan's first basketball session of the season.  They had brought in the high school boys basketball team coach and varsity players to help and it was so fun!  The coach was engaging and the little kids loved getting some one on one time with the "big" kids!  Later that day we headed home and took down most of our Christmas decorations and did some cleaning.  It was the perfect day to do all of this with the snow storm.  Even though the accumulation did not amount to much, it was a very steady snow all afternoon into the evening.  It prompted the boys to play outside even though it was pretty cold.  The older two decided to put their skis on and try them out on our small sledding hill.



Backyard Skiing!
