I made up a karate board for the kids.

The kids get a ribbon each time they get a good grade or blue slip for good behavior, etc.

Karate.

One more

Just thought I'd show how the kids watch tv around here.

I did my last customer cake this weekend. I might still do them for the kids but it's just too much to do on a regular basis.

The office wall is finished!!! Waiting for frames and then we have art to go on the wall.

The kids started Karate tonight. Grace didn't really like cheer and wanted to try karate with Ev. Also they're fundraising to pay for their own Gi and gear! Thank you by the way to those of you who have already agreed to donate. The kids are really excited that they've started earning the money themselves. I'll be sure to post pics of them in their Gi when they earn enough.

Grace had her first and I think last cheer class tonight. She said it was fun but boring and she wants to take gymnastics with one of her friends. Evan's first karate class is tomorrow night. I figure we'll see how how well he likes it before we do anything else.

Headbands is a popular game at our house lately.

Finished!

Ray and Ted have started closing up the office, so Ray can have less noise during conference calls. It's going pretty quick. Before too long we're going to put a door between our office and the kitchen.

I know I'm a bit late, but working on a winter pillow case for Grace. It's turning out well. I think she'll be happy.

Wes just picked a TED talk on tv.

Wes has another tooth coming in on the top in the front.

Grace lost her first tooth! Mrs. Baker yanked it out for her today. She can't wait to get money from the tooth fairy. 😀

Grace set to work opening everything afterwards. She is very excited about all the fun stuff she got.

A few pics from Grace's 6th birthday. She invited four of her friends from class this year.

Grace kept wanting to pose with her cake. :)
