The twins had fun celebrating their 1/2 birthday at school on Monday. They even got to wear birthday crowns!!! I still was not able to take a picture of them holding up their fingers as 3 and 1/2. Trust me it was cute!
The rest of the week was busy as usual. Ben has been working hard to complete Grandpa Dick's deer head. Cameron (and mom) have been working to get his culture fair project done. And the little kids have been working hard to keep the house a mess and distract us from getting other things done. Everyone has a job to do and they are all doing it well!!!!
The weekend!
Friday Cam was invited to go by a friend after school to play until the St. Peter's movie night. This was really fun for him and he was even excited to ride the bus home with his friend. Then I decided to take the twins to the movie night as they were showing Shriek The Final Chapter and I thought they would like it too. I took Kenzie to Grandma Grace and Grandpa Dick for some quality play time (and because I don't think she would have sat through the movie). The boys did pretty good during the movie although there was a lot of getting up and down and following Cameron and his friends around so I am not sure Cam really liked them being there to much. But it was another adventure and I am sure we will try it again.
Saturday the evil mother made Cameron work on his project and homework for most of the morning then we headed out for the Rettler Family Christmas Party! This was a absolute blast. All the kids were very good minus a few little tiffs with their cousins but that is to be expected. Santa - who was vacationing in Hawaii, even arranged to drop some gifts of for the kids and they enjoyed it very much. Great dinner, great family, great conversations and great fun! We even played some Bingo and won prizes. Overall just a really good time.
Most of the kids waiting for gifts dropped off by Santa!
Today was also a SUPER day. Cameron had his first wrestling tournament for the 2011 season at West Bend today. In the first match Cameron pinned in the first 30 seconds or so. He beat the second one by points. Pined the third in about 50 seconds. Then won the last match also by points! He took 1st and got a really nice trophy and a very proud mommy. I was also very proud of his attitude about it. He was not gloating. He talked about the mistakes he had made and things he can still do better. He was proud of himself but also knows that things can go either way sometimes. I was also proud of how he watches/cheers on his friends and teammates and wishes them well also. I am not sure I am ready for this wrestling season and the ups and downs that come with it but today was sure a great way to start it off. Next weekend we are off to Hartford.
After wrestling it was out to Jumbo's for a victory dinner and still home in time for the Packer game. Kenzie, Clayton and Calvin all took naps so mom decided she should take one too! I woke up in time to see the end of the game and a Packer WIN. What a great Sunday!
On to another busy week - see you all soon!!!
