More of the usual

The girls were looking for something to do the other day and for some reason, my suggestions weren't good enough. I have to admit, their idea was much more creative. They made a maze for Cookie Dough and Brownie to go through. Another use for duct tape. Stephanie is also trying to train Cookie Dough not to jump off her shoulder. I asked if she was going to train it not to go to the bathroom while there. She tells me she doesn't do that anymore when you hold her. Here's hoping.
I joked with the girls that Cookie Dough was cheating by looking over the edges to see where to go.
A picture of Becca from her last meet. You can see a bit of that smile. That is how she ran that day, just happy to be out there and enjoying it.
Rad took the girls to the ice rink to go ice skating. It was the first time for Stephanie and Jessica. As I was looking through his pictures, this first one made me laugh.

Rad organized a camporee for our district. It turned out to be a successful event. I don't know what his pictures are about so I pulled just a couple to share. The first one you can see that they have archery and rifle shooting.
This water slide is awesome! I remember it from girls camp last summer and they had a blast on it. I can only imagine what the boys thought.
I'm not sure how this picture ended up rotated, but it is some of the awards that were made to present to the boys. They turned out quite nice. The brand looks like a bottle nipple to me on the smaller awards. Rad showed me the logo and it is supposed to be a beehive.
One day I was leaving and saw this truck on our road. I thought it was fun.

Jessica and Stephanie still have a few more weeks of track left. Becca's ended the first week of March. Ben has a few more weeks of basketball and then it will be the playoffs. He is planning to do his Eagle project the weekend after basketball is over. We made it through another year without having the flu. So happy to be able to say that because Stephanie's class had a day where 11 kids were out and the teacher because they all had the flu. I think Jessica had 6 kids out that day. The flu hit hard here.
