Colm finally finished his last piece to his Alexander Graham Bell assignment. (He had over a month to do this and he waited until the last minute to get it done and then he was sick. Good thing he stayed home sick today and had one extra day to get it done.)

Colm was down and out tonight. No fever, but he did get sick (hence the puke bowl) and he slept from 7pm-3am on the couch, woke up for about an hour and then slept again until 7:45am…and now he’s as good as new.

This is my box that carries in it all things OBOB…schedules, lists, forms, more lists, more schedules, more forms. If you see me going into school in the mornings I am probably carrying this box with me.

The boys are heading back to school which means it’s time to pack lunches again.

We finally got around to taking the tree down. It was actually a two day process. One day to take off the ornaments and then next to take the tree apart and put it in the box.

First of all, let me say that this is not the first thank you card/gift that I have received from a 4th grader this year. I think this makes gift/card number 4 or 5. My point being that this 4th grade group is a very thoughtful bunch.

It’s a princess crown with a little book hot glued to the front that has all of the OBOB titles written in it. I LOVE it!!! I also got three hand crafted bookmarks. I love the kids at our school.

The boys are still out of school and definitely in need of some exercise so we went to SkyHigh where they played dodgeball for an hour while jumping on trampolines…sweaty good fun.

She is the newest addition to our zoo. She was born on November 30th. We went to go see her today and since it was so cold outside we had to go inside to see her. She is super cute…hard to believe she weighs more than 300lbs already.

Colm had outgrown his quarter size violin and it was time for a half size. The half size is significantly bigger and the case is HEAVY!!! He had a violin lesson right after getting his new violin and he did a great job!

In case you are wondering which one he chose…he picked the second one from the left. If was, by far, the best sounding violin.

For those of you who missed Project 365 in 2012…it’s back!

We took the boys to see the play Peter Pan today. It was so great…sword fights, Tinkerbell, singing pirates, flying children, fairy dust…a little something for everyone.
