As you probably know, we do very little with social media. I do check Instagram every now and then, however, to see whether our Krav Maga studio posted any fun videos of either of the boys. I found a few worth sharing: Ethan, discipline video, and Micah getting taken down (he thinks it’s super awesome, don’t worry! They love to make things look extra dramatic.)
Micah is a very disciplined young man and he really enjoys fitness and schedules. He’s been waking up at 6 most mornings and doing a work out. He sets out his clothes and a motivational note the night before.

Here are some other pics from last month. Uncle Joel comes over on Fridays to play chess with the boys. Micah built a fire for one of those afternoons and so they played downstairs. E brought a chess board to play chess with his buddies during breaks at CC. Then these fabulous guys did a Nilla Wafers eating contest (how many could they eat in 1 minute was a question I had asked to introduce rate when discussing math the week before). Both boys enjoy making music regularly. E plays the uke and piano most days and Micah created his own drum set out of a bunch of boxes he saved from the recycling bin. We were spoiled with some delicious cookies from a dear friend this week. And, lastly, I finally remembered to take a picture of some of the mamas at our house for the monthly Mom’s Morning Out I’ve been hosting for our CC community.











E is having fun learning parts of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” for fun on the piano. We wanted to send a video to Salina to see if she would recognize it. Naturally, she did. =D
Other highlights include ways we pass our evenings when Mike isn’t around (playing hangman or sudoku or chess):




And here are some pictures of how the evenings are spent when he’s back home again. The boys taught him some Krav Maga moves the other night. And we’ve been working on finding our next family read aloud. We started Pax, but some members found it too sad to continue at this time, so then Micah asked each of us to bring six potential books to the meeting to narrow down the next best option. It was really fun to see what everyone brought to consider. Stay tuned for what is decided. =)
