Twas the Night Before Christmas...
After spotting Santa's sleigh off in the dark sky, Alora sprinkled the reindeer food on the driveway that she made in her Kindergarten class. Jackson was once again afraid of Santa coming inside our house. "I don't want him to take me!"

Fishing in December
It's only day 2 of Christmas break and already the kids are begging for something to do. Noah has been begging to go fishing. I managed to rig 2 of our poles and reluctantly took the kids fishing this morning at North Lake. What was I thinking?! It was overcast, chilly, and I had forgotten my jacket. I prepared the kids that due to the weather that the fish probably wouldn't bite, but I was wrong. Within the first few minutes, Alora snagged a big carp. While we trying to reel that one in, Jackson set down his pole (not knowing he ALSO had a fish) and it quickly disappeared beneath the murky water. We never could find his pole, or that stinkin' fish!
Overall, the kids caught 5 large carp. Despite being cold, they were pretty excited at their efforts.

No More School For 2011
Today was the kids' last day of school for the year. Both Jackson and Alora got to wear their pajamas to school for their class celebrations (normally I'm not a big fan of pj's to school, but I compromised). Noah's class made gingerbread houses and had a white elephant book exchange yesterday, so today they performed their annual holiday poetry slam. School is half-way done! Hooray!!!
