Eli and Noah are 11!

Last Thursday Noah and Eli turned 11!  Hard to believe.  They were excited.  We let them open some gifts.  

More mini skateboards.  Yay.  

That day, they had their Valentine's Day parties at school.  Amy ran Eli's party.  


That night, the family came for dinner and cake.  
Lots of yummy food.  

Noah entertained us.  
Then it was Aden's turn.  
Opening more presents!

Hey Honey!
Such a cool cake.  And it was good too.  


Happy Birthday to You!


Ariel was at her ski trip.  

Such a fun night but Noah and I had to head out.  
It was time for another acrylic pouring class.  
Such a big cup of paint and so much white space.  
White no more!



She gave us little canvases to mop up the extra paint with.  
Here are two closeup shots of my painting.  

Here's my little one.  
Aden had a bunch of friends over that night.

Stranger Things Valentines

Last Monday, I took Ariel to Dick's to get her stuff for lacrosse.  Is she really doing this?  We had no idea what to get.  
I wanted her to get this stick!  Why is it so long?

Eli made his own dinner that night.  
French toast anyone?
He worked on his valentines for school.  
Last Tuesday, I had guitar with Jordan.  Ariel showed us what she learned in school.  
Eli worked on his valentines box.  It was going to be Stranger Things themed.  
Aden cooked dinner.  
Fionna came to sleep over.  
The girls were being silly.  

The finished box.  It's a portal to the upside down with a Mind Flayer coming out of it!

Pretty scary!
