Winter is still in full swing here, but we did have one day that got above freezing and reminded us that spring may really be coming. It was on this day that James thought it was time to sit outside with no socks (see the picture)... he quickly realized that it wasn't "that warm" just yet;) The top left picture is how we found Audrey the other day when she left the group and wasn't making any noise. When Gabe went to check on her he found her in her room looking at a book:) The picture on the right is of Audrey painting at the playgroup (aka school) Ben and Audrey attend. They love it there and are always captivated by creative crafts, games and play.
James had Dr. Seuss week at his school and each day had a different theme. This particular day was "Wacky Wednesday" where he dressed backwards and mismatched. Audrey loves to be in pictures with her brothers and there aren't many pictures she is left out of. James has also continued to have a knack for building/inventing and created a special plane with yo-yo wings which he was so proud of. The bottom two picture are of James' Student in the Spotlight day at school. He had to stand in front of the assembly and say something about himself. He read the people who are in his family... and I mean READ... he read the sheet exactly as it was written and when he came to Noah's name he couldn't pronounce it and had to have help... I am guessing he would have done better without the card;) AND in true Jim Smith style he amused the audience by putting his sticker over his mouth and nose and then just sat through the entire assembly as if nothing were different...
Audrey has spent most of the last month walking around the house in either of these two outfits- a life jacket and goggles or a ski helmet and boots. Depending on the outfit she just constantly repeats, "pool, pool, pool" or "ski, ski, ski"... there is a chance she is becoming wise to the fact that she, weekly, gets left behind for both ski and swimming lessons...
Speaking of ski lessons... Both Noah and James are able to participate in the SnoCats learn to ski program put on through the college at our local ski mountain (hill). It runs two days per week after school for 2 hours. While fantastic for Noah and James, and they are both becoming fantastic skiers, Ben, Audrey and I have spent many long hours waiting in the ski lodge. These last few pictures are from the last night I brought my camera and Audrey requested pictures of herself... she is quite the ham!
