Firsts

Lots of firsts this week:

First week back to school for Parker.  We were a little nervous that it would take time to get back in the swing of things but it turned out to be a good week.  First week for Parker with all "green" days at school in a long time.  He has a chance to earn green, yellow or red each day and we typically get one yellow day each week.  He is on a hot streak right now, 7 green days in a row.

First attempt at using the new Dr. Dreadful toy where you mix different powders to make edible disgusting barf, guts and brains.  Parker thought it was great to make the "stuff" but we all agreed that it wasn't very good to eat or drink.

First school concert for Parker.  The kindergarten classes came together to sing 5 songs.  They were pretty cute and did very well.

First real snow storm came this week...that led to...Parker's first attempt at snowboarding.  Mark came over to help us out and then the Berggren's came over too.  We practiced in the backyard for about 30 minutes and then headed to the park for a bigger hill.  Both Madisyn and Parker seem to enjoy it for now!  Hoping that continues the rest of the winter.

Crosby is working on words.  We think we hear Doggy, we definitely hear bobby (no idea why) and mommy is a staple in the vocabulary.
