For a day.
Well, for 2 meals.
Then we were starving, practically wasting away so we broke out the cereal and milk.
It all started with an argument between William and Emmerlyn they could not agree to disagree so we had to go all out. It went ok. Anchor would have nothing to do with it. William actually accepted it better than he thought he would but was SO hungry all day. So to celebrate the ending of THAT trial here are the pictures.
That are from basically the whole year.
For your viewing pleasure.
Anchor snoozing. He and I noticed that he is sleeping in a lot of these shots. That is due to the fact that he is rarely sleeping so it must be documented.
Happy #10 Emmerlyn. We LOVE YOU!
Charley got a cold that gave him hives all over his bod. THAT was a bad day and a trip to the urgent care to figure out.
Anchor and Pollee LOVED the first snow day.
Sick day for Charley. He had a good set up though with his Mountain Dew and TV to himself.
We were vacuuming.
Elementary picture day for these two cuties. I never ordered the pictures...
Snow gear application.
Glue art? Or something messy.

Cold flag football game. Brevick had a winning season in the fall followed by a spring season on a team that none of the kids had ever played before so they lost EVERY game. Good news... he made his goal of getting 5 touchdowns. I signed him up for the competitive league this fall.
Charley blanket tying. It turned out so cute.
Lightsaber football. Apparently it's a thing now.
