Outdoor Hockey Day

Hockey ALL day for us! Charlie had practice in the morning, I sold concessions for a few hours, Charlie came and played his game for Outdoor Hockey Day and then we all went to the Grizzlies game at night because Charlie won free tickets.

Charlie stayed in this same spot for the whole game and got high fives from a bunch of the players on their way in and out.  Loved every minute watching the big guys!

Skating Lessons

Claire got some ice skates for Christmas and had her first skating lesson on Tuesday. She's getting used to figure skates since she's only used Charlie's old skates.  She is looking forward to lessons every Tuesday for the next seven weeks.

All-Star Game

Charlie and his team had the All-Star game last night.  Claire and I helped decorate the locker room and Nick learned how to operate the scoreboard and clock.  Group effort and a loss by one but it was FUN and the Penguins fans were definitely the loudest cheerers and cowbell ringers!

Bowling

We all went bowling when Carly was here.  It's pretty much a tradition now...

New Years

The kids went skating with Auntie Carly and then we celebrated at home.

Supermite Jamboree

Charlie's hockey team got to play at the Excel Energy Center.  The team and family members rode on a bus together and the kids played two games.  They won both and Charlie scored a couple goals.  It was a fun day!

Teacher Swap Day

Bamber Valley had a teacher swap day this week so I switched classrooms with Ms. C., who is Claire's teacher.  Teams competed to build the longest paper chain and then we decorated a Clairemas tree.  Fun times!

Also worth noting- the boy in the Gophers jersey is her crush and has been since kindergarten so OBVIOUSLY I put them in the same group.  I had to see how they interacted under pressure.
