We've had a pretty normal couple of weeks.

Two weeks ago, after our trip to Ikea, daddy put up our new dining room table. We now get to sit on a bench. It takes up less room in the dining room, so Mom & Dad are happy about that. They gave our old table to our neighbors' niece and she was happy to have our old table. Our new table is pretty cool!

We even got some snow, too. The snow was so heavy, our neighbors' tree branch fell down in the middle of the night. When we started to walk out to our car, a tree branch fell RIGHT on our powerline and garage, so we couldn't even get to Mommy's car to get to daycare. Good thing Daddy was shoveling snow on the other side of the garage, so he drove the car around to the front of the house for us to get to Sue's. It was still hanging on the powerline when we got home from daycare that day. We were getting ready for bed when the guys from the power company came to fix it. They cut down the branches then they got into a bucket on their truck that lifted them up to cut the branches of the trees. That was so cool to watch! It's kind of like Grandpa's scissor lift.

Last weekend, Mommy had another tournament with the Divas. We got to go play for most of the afternoon while Mommy played and Daddy watched her with the videocamera. I played iPad games with Deion while Hannah played girl stuff with the girls. Mommy finished early, so we got to go out to eat with the kids. We went to Green Mill and had yummy Mac & Cheese! It was fun.

Wednesday after soo bahk do, we went back to school so Mommy & Daddy could talk to Mrs. Bodin about us. We finished our peanut butter sandwiches while they talked, then we went to Target to get my snack for school next week. I got to pick out Cars 2 Cheez-its. I wanted fruit snacks, but Mom & Dad said no. I decided the Cheez-its were better than a tantrum in Target.

Thursday, Hannah had pictures for dance. Mommy did her hair while I got to play LeapPad games. She was so excited to wear her costume and take pictures! Daddy came to get me so I didn't have to sit and watch girls take pictures. We went and got pizza for supper! It was delicious.

I started reading a chapter book this week. When I got done with the first chapter, I got upset because the book was too long, but Sue gave me a bookmark and told me I could stop whenever I wanted to, and pick up the book later when I wanted to read again. That's pretty cool! She gave one to Hannah, too, but she was not comprehending the book as much so she lost interest quickly.

We had a very fun weekend this weekend, too!

Saturday morning, we got up and daddy and mommy brought us to a surprise. We went to SkyZone. It's a trampoline park - there were different trampolines on the walls, a pit of foam blocks to jump into, different courts of trampolines - it was so awesome! We had so much fun. We loved it! We bounced for an hour. It started to get busy about the time we left, but we loved it when we were there! We can't wait to go back.

After that, we went to Red Robin for dinner. I got to have a strawberry smoothie and Hannah had lemonade. What a special treat! After dinner, we went to look for a chair for Cheyenne to sit on (we got rid of the chair she sits on in the living room, so we need to find her someplace to sit now) and to the hardware store so Daddy could put up a shelf. When we got home, we played outside while Mom & Dad put up a new shelf. We even got to go for a bike ride for a few blocks. It was such a beautiful day! Daddy grilled a delicious steak dinner for supper. It was really a great day.

Today was a little more lazy. We got to wear crowns, eat goldfish and drink koolaid while we talked about Deborah the judge in Sunday School. Then we went home for Mac & Cheese. We played outside for a little while then upstairs while Mommy & Daddy worked on organizing some things around the house.

We're getting excited about our Minnesota reports. We will give them on Friday! Mommy printed out pictures for us, so we made nice boards to show our pictures while we talk. We have our speeches written out so we can give them to our class. We're so excited, but Mom & Dad are frustrated with us because they say we need to practice more. Hopefully we can practice enough and do a really good job on Friday!

Have a good week. We're not only looking forward to our Minnesota reports on Friday, but it's also GREEN DAY at school.
