A few things we did in January:
William started the year by upping his Kid Chef game. Now, not only does he make his own breakfasts and lunches, he makes and delivers them to me! The plate below is his scrambled eggs, toast from leftover hotdog buns and fresh strawberries. I think this one is his plate because I'm not always a ketchup on eggs eater. Sometimes, but not often anymore.
William's school does a day of service for Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. He and I volunteered with friends at Feed My Starving Children. Yes, of course they had fun with the hairnets!
For Cub Scouts, January was a month to finish all the last requirements before the Arrow of Light and crossing over to Boy Scouts. The winter weather cooperated for a snowy Klondike! The boys were big winners which involved a prize of candy, so no complaints there!
At school, it was finally time for the Saint Speech - their version of the living history museum. The kids spent most of the first semester researching and writing about the saint they selected and now got to deliver the highlights to the parents and visitors. William chose St. Augustine of Hippo and we learned a lot! It was also fun to hear the other kids' renditions of their saints and see who (the girls mostly!) went all out on costuming and props.
