"I got this."
-Isla
James tested for his first belt this week and I’m happy to report that he passed with flying colors. He walked through the forms, rocked his kicks (best in his group I might add) and broke the board at the end to earn his yellow belt. James was quite proud of his accomplishment.
Ashlyn also had her own performance this week where she sang in a short song about fireflies at a picnic. She was nervous, but had fun after her solo line was over.
The Wolfe’s came over for dinner to celebrate Mommy and Bridget’s birthday. We played cards (UNO being a favorite amongst the kids), ate a nice dinner, and enjoyed some ice cream cake afterwards. The kids stayed up later than normal which resulted in some early grumpiness the next morning, but it was worth it.
When the kids get in a creative mood, they show it in different ways. Ashlyn and James made a library, complete with a sign warning everyone to stay quiet. Isla decided to draw all over herself with markers. The world needs all kinds of people.
We’re not sure why, but the kids insisted on going fishing this weekend. When the weather warmed up a bit on Sunday we dug up some worms, walked over to the pond with the fishing gear, and caught fish. It’s nice to have ready and easy access to fish with the kids.
