The past few days have been really nice here 50°! We've enjoyed this beautiful weather. Before that it was cold so we just sat at home by the fire and played board games - not a bad thing. We only have activities once a week night (Wednesday) so the other days we are free. It's great! On Wednesdays we do
family tae kwon do so it is something we are all doing anyway. The kids are doing really well. It is actually a decent workout. I assumed it wouldn't be, but all the fighting is using muscles we are not used to. Actually - my yoga has really helped out with it. I have good balance and can kick pretty well. The kids are obviously really flexible. Erik is having more trouble and his kicks are almost comical but he is getting much better.

| Jenna and her lego creator set |
For Christmas we got Jenna the
Lego Creator set. This is a fancier lego set with many pieces for 12+. She did a great job and put it together herself. It is quite detailed!

I snapped some pictures of us at
yoga. We now have 5 yoga mats so everyone has their own mat. We have been watching
Camden, a little boy on Saturdays sometimes and Matthew loves it. He absolutely adores Camden. On Wednesday mornings I've been watching two kids for a stay-at-home Dad who is the worship leader at our church. I *almost* said no because it is during my spinning class. This has forced me to change my workout schedule to: Monday (nothing), Tuesday (cardio blast), Wednesday (tae kwon do), Thursday (body blitz - weight training) morning and yoga with Jenna evening, Friday (zumba), Saturday (zumba and family yoga), Sunday (nothing). Although I think I need to add running on either Monday or Sunday because we are doing a 5K and a triathlon in April. Yikes!

Erik thinks I'm going through a mid-life crisis and it is manifesting itself in me wanting to learn everything. This may or may not be true....I took android training last November, am learning bass guitar, and plan on taking Certified Ethical Hacker training in a few months. Now I'm the lead developer on our android course sequence. Yay!
Erik's birthday is on Saturday. We plan on having a board game night but celebrated his birthday early with the family. I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and got him a
Patriots jersey and the "Thing Explainer" book by Randall Munroe (xkcd.com). It is really pretty good! He also wants an Eddie George Ohio State Jersey and I plan on getting that for him next. Boom!

This election news is driving me nuts. If Trump and Sanders win the nominations I'm going to write in a candidate. Maybe myself!!
On Monday we had Matthew's IEP meeting. I actually cried at the meeting. Matthew is going to regular kindergarten and only qualifies for handwriting help. He has advanced so much in the past few years. I'm so impressed with him.
Check out these two videos. What a difference!!

+10 points for the XKCD book
When I took Tae Kwon Do our instructor said our gi had to "snap" when we kicked. I'm not sure what material yours is made from though...
LMK if you like Star Realms, we like it at my house.
