1st Grade Choir Concert

Logan has his 1st grade choir concert on Thursday PM. All (4) classes [about 100 kids] joined in for (8) songs - about 30 minutes. They were adorable! At times Logan looked a little confused. Unfortunately due to file size, the attached videos are only snippets of whole songs.

per our other post - Logan is now a fan of Justin Bieber post his zumba class at the health club...crank up the volume

Groundhog's Day

Maybe Logan is right. He came home from school on February 2 convinced that since the groundhog didn't see his shadow that winter would be over in 6 weeks. We tried to explain to him that this was only a prediction - but to him it was literal. After yesterday perhaps he was right - it was 48 degrees in Lakeville!

We walked out of church and told the kids that today there would be no playing in the house until the sun went down - they needed to break out of the winter cocoon and enjoy spring! We spent the beautiful day skiing in slush, riding bikes, building snow forts, playing football outside and running around Cleary Lake. It was fabulous! Needless to say Logan asked at 7pm if he could go to bed as he was exhausted - the joys of some fresh air!

Events on the calendar for this week:
-Logan's 1st grade choir concert
-Lots of birthday parties
-A (4) day weekend for the whole family
-Both boys have Valentine's Day parties at their schools
-Lakeville North basketball game Tuesday night - Logan has developed a new passion for attending high shool sporting events

The Indoor Mayfield Baseball Stadium

If you ever doubted Logan's obsession with all things baseball and the MN Twins! We are already registered for spring Lakeville baseball!

And not to be out done Carter has been practicing his soccer. He is also already registered for spring Lakeville soccer - it will be his first experience at organized sports. We think he is more than ready as he practiced with Logan's soccer team last fall and had no problem roughing up some of the 1st graders.

Logan's Tennis Lessons

Logan has been taking lessons at our health club the past couple of weeks. They have a great 5:1 ratio of kids:teachers.

Yes - More Postings Coming Soon

It has been a tad busy around here the past week! Some highlights - pictures to follow this weekend. Ahhhh - the weekend!

• Enjoyed the amazing 30-degree weather last Friday night skiing with some friends from Logan's school
• Saturday - some friends watched the boys and we joined some other friends to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. The best babysitters are the FREE babysitters! We needed a night out on the town after being Logan's taxi service and transporting him between various play dates all day.
• Sunday - church, zoo, and swimming at the health club
• Tuesday - Logan had his 5th tennis lesson. Shawn went to the School Board Meeting to learn more about our $15MM budget deficit. This could be a whole blog post in itself. Let's just say they are closing one of the seven elementary schools, raising activity fees (hockey will be $1400/yr), and proposing cutting 5th grade band, all art programs and tech education.
• Wednesday - Logan and Shawn went to church for HALO. Carter decided to wake up at midnight covered in P$&K. Yes - the vomit monster invaded our house again! The good news, he woke up in the AM all better. Must have been our cooking.
• Thursday - Logan is now in chess after school taking after his Uncle Jason.

And the highlight of our week - we cleaned up our basement and put most of the toys away - so now we have a baseball field/football field/ and soccer field. The boys are in heaven! We found a soft baseball and every night Logan gets his bat out with his batting helmet and gloves and we do batting practice.
