Boys play chess.....

in this house.  In this house just the boys.  Maddie gave chess club a whirl at the beginning of the school year and she only lasted one day.  The only kindergartners that were doing chess club were boys, so she decided she'd pass.  HA!
Jack on the other hand....he still LOVES Wednesdays.....chess club day.

A Snow Day BEFORE Thanksgiving....

What the heck is this?!?!?  I could totally do without snow, EVER, but the kids did like it.  They knew it was in the forecast, so they headed to bed with a spoon under their pillow, pj's inside out, and flushing ice cubes down the toilet.  They woke up and found out that all their superstitions worked out in their favor.  SNOW DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!!  For the first few hours, Gus was the only one to go outside.  Then about an hour later, the girls joined him (including the girl dog).  Not Jack, he was still holed up in the basement with his xbox and still in his inside out pajamas.  He eventually came out and joined the girls and Gus.  I then took Jack and Maddie to Kirkwood park to sled, Peyton decided to stay home.  The snow was off the roads and sidewalks by that night, and back to school they went the next day.........

One of Jack's new favorite things....

TOP GOLF!!!  Jack loves it, and he usually blows us all out of the water!!!

 His celebratory jig.....we saw it a lot this night!!!

Volleyball comes to an end....

Jack absolutely loved playing volleyball this year.  He was quite the little server.  They made it to the playoffs, where they lost a nail biter to end the season.  The boys were sad, but they had a great season for half of the team to be brand new this year.  He's definitely looking forward to next year!

Two sweet boys!!!!.....

and tired too......

5th Grade All Saints Mass

Always one of my favorite masses.  The 5th graders pick a Saint to research, they write a paper about the Saint, and then they dress up as the Saint for All Saints Mass.  St. Peter does it big for this one.  Jack was St. Juan Diego.  He has a really cool story, I enjoyed learning it along side of Jack.
