Basketball Clinic

A super star mom I know brought a super awesome opportunity to my attention last week - a basketball clinic at the local high school.  The Panther Creek Basketball team was doing a fundraiser by holding a clinic for kids ages 5-15.  The kids spent a few hours Sunday running drills, hanging out with real varsity players and coaches, scrimmaging each other and  learning a few key skills along the way.  Such a fun positive way to spend a Sunday afternoon!!! Thanks Kim!

Arctic Animal Learning Experience

Seriously, we have the best time in kindergarten...
This month they are doing a unit on Arctic Animals! We planned a super fun morning with games, experiments, crafts and a snack to tie together the whole unit!  The kids just had a BLAST!

Snow and Then Some!

The kids made it to school for one day this week before the snowstorm of the decade hit Wednesday!  It has been a whirlwind of fun in the SNOW since Wednesday morning.  Kids have been in and out multiple times over, we have made new friends, dried a lot clothes, fueled up with hot chocolate and yummy snacks, and geared up more times than I can count.  Seriously, it was like no other snowfall we have seen because the snow loved being rolled up into balls for igloos, snowball fights, snowman... so much fun.  Once the snow started falling, it just kept coming heavy for 12 hours!

Day two was even more perfect for the sledding scene because things iced up a bit and we flew off of the snowplowed piles, broke a few sleds, scraped some knuckles, bruised some tucus' and laughed until we almost had pee-pee accidents.  The snow fort in the backyard has grown to a mammoth creation that the kids are very proud of.
