January Glimpses

 McKay's best friend moved and we went to a little goodbye lunch with them.  He misses him so much.  We got this cake for dessert and the two of them went crazy eating it.  It was a chocolate frenzy!
 Lincoln lost a tooth with a silver filling in it.  He was sure that the tooth fairy would pay more for it because it was so valuable (she did).
 McKay concocted this little ditty with exercise bands.  The boys had a great time flipping it around.  
 Palmer learned Book of Mormon stories on the piano and played it for the opening song in Family Home Evening.  I was so proud of him!  
 My little tired babes.  
 Palmer worked very hard and won his class spelling bee.  Lincoln took third in his so he was an alternate for the school spelling bee.
 The boys and I read a book we loved called Maniac Magee (given to us for Christmas by our friend Kristen).  In the book he loves Butterscotch Krimpets so we were determined to find them and try them out.  Josh actually found them at a grocery store by us and we were thrilled.  I'm not sure we love them, but we buy them more than we should :)
 Festive snack we had over Christmas break.
 Some night Palmer has 5 hours of homework and some hours he doesn't have any!  We haven't quite figured out 5th grade yet...
 The pinewood was held in January for some reason in our ward.  The boys had fun, although the racing part wasn't that great.

 I bought these cute foxes from Anthropologie to put on the boys shelves, but they didn't stay there long.  I guess they are too snuggly for the shelf.

For my activity one week for FHE, we made catapults and had a contest to see who could get their marshmallows the farthest.  It quickly turned into a war.  
The boys and Josh had a ball with the marshmallow catapult war.
