Back again...

So I will actually have some time to get back on my blog as we will have some much needed down time at home! The boys start their three week intersession break/spring break!
We are doing NOTHING! We had thought about driving down to Gainseville again, or go stay at Great Wolf Lodge for a weekend down by Charlotte but staying home and not having to do anything sounded much more pleasant! The boys actually like it and they get along so much better.
So hopefully, I will get some more time to write and/or blog over the next three weeks before the minivan hits the road again!

Today was the end of quarter awards assembly and both boys received outstanding artist awards from their art teacher. Hmmm... I will gladly claim that talent...They love being creative, drawing, painting, building or whatever it may be~they can come up with some pretty amazing things. I think having all of their supplies within reach whenever they want has helped them develop the love of writing/drawing. I just keep huge buckets of crayons, markers, glue sticks, paper, stickers, and coloring books in the office on the bookshelves so they can help themselves when they want. The paint they know to ask first:)! I don't really make a big fuss about them making the mess as long as they are enjoying it and using their little minds to create something they are proud of is fine with me. They usually help pick it up. Better than those darn video games! I have boxes of little creations stored away for safe keeping! I have framed some of them. I will treasure them when they are all grown up!

I was also very proud of their report cards. They have done wonderful this quarter!  Which is also amazing because for me it was one of the most tiring with hockey. They work hard.

Enough for now and I'll catch ya'll up on the happening in the Jacobson household and a few thoughts later on. I get to crawl into bed and sleep in tomorrow...well past 6 am at least!
