Games, ice, and gardening…

"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."
-Theodore Roosevelt

It’s time for winter crops, mainly peas, onions, and other vegetables.  We had a few nice days this week that turned out to be perfect for digging in the garden.  James was dangerous with the rake, while Isla generally made a mess of herself.  It all worked out though and we now have green things sticking up the garden, ready to grow.

James has gotten into the habit of putting on his karate uniform on random evenings to practice his moves.  This week he spent most of his time setting up and kicking objects down.  His favorite was doing a running jump kick on a Magna-Tile block tower.  He needs to learn not to kick with his toes though.

It was also a week for games.  Isla learned how to play Disney Infinity and likes to play with Mommy as she flies and explores the world.  Grandma also stopped by one evening and played games with the kids (and a hamster).

The winter Olympics kicked off this week so it was only fitting that Ashlyn go to an ice skating party.  There may not have been any Olympic level performances on the ice, but there was just as much fun.
