Today we picked all three up a little early and headed to the Great Wolf Lodge!
Emma decided a while back that she wanted to come to GWL instead of having a birthday party.
We spent about 5 hours in the water park, and currently, all 3 are spent!
It has been a great day though, and we are looking forward to a couple of hours of water play in the morning!

Day 31
Not to be outdone by her older brother...
Emma will start outdoor soccer this spring. She wore her own warm-up gear today!
Can't wait! Hope she doesn't make anyone cry!

Day 30
From Soccer to Baseball Back to Soccer
If you read my other blog, you may have seen the September post linked above about Jackson deciding to play baseball last fall.
Here is an excerpt from that post...
"The group of boys that he has played soccer with the past few years are a year older than Jackson, and when it came time to try out for a more advanced soccer league (per age group), Jackson didn't make a team. He was very disappointed, but again, these leagues are based on age. He should have been trying out for the 10U at age 9, but he tried out for 11U at age 9. We honestly were not surprised that he did not make a team, but I think this made a huge impact on Jackson. So....he decided to play baseball instead."
Jackson liked baseball ok, but not nearly as much as soccer.
This winter, he was able to play indoor soccer for his old coach. This coach also coaches one of the teams Jackson tried out for last spring. Those teams stay together for the fall and spring of the next year. Well, the coach lost a player, and he asked Jackson to play up for him on this spring's team.
Today I picked up some of Jackson's team gear!
He could not wait to try it on!

Day 29
My photography class started its own hashtag group in Instagram so that we can keep all of our photos together. Each week we will be assigned a new theme!
This week's theme is "Circles"...the interpretation has been left up to us.
My Instagram photo today:
In keeping with today's photo, I also snapped a few photos of this Matryoshka doll with my Nikon. Here is the series...

Day 27
Jackson's chore money is always burning a hole in his pocket!
He has an airsoft gun, but he really wanted a BB gun too.
So after church, Jack talked his dad into going shopping for a Red Ryder!

Jackson spent a good portion of the day shooting. He made himself a target out of printer paper and painter's tape!
His new motto (after watching "The Patriot") is
"Aim small...miss small!"

Day 25
ICE DAY!
As usual, we get sleet and freezing rain instead of snow today!
Again, I couldn't decide on ONE photo so I'm posting several from this afternoon.
The first photos are of the same flowers I posted the other day, the Hellebores.
My camera settings for all of the flower photos are
ISO 200 f/1.8 SS 1/125
And this next photo is of our granite countertop outside by the grill. I was testing out the 1.8 f-stop on my 35mm lens.

How many more days until springtime???
