Practicing

I made Croatian nut bread for the first time as an adult. I was really happy with how it turned out. 

I made two small loaves and then twisted them together. I thought it would distribute the filling throughout every bite. I think it worked pretty well. 

I tried again today with some more ideas. I used coarsely chopped nuts, I used more filling, and I used coconut sugar in both the dough and the filling because it messes with my blood sugar less than white sugar. It turned out well, but I think I’d like the nuts a little more chopped up. The coconut sugar worked really well in the dough.

Time Together

He’s reading in there believe it or not. 

The horse hadn’t been out in a really long time so the little boys had fun for days!

Levi has started reading while he eats breakfast, just like his brothers. 

My new hat is cuter on him than me. 

Fun at G&G’s

Levi is discovering all the firefighting fun to be had at G&G’s. 







Augustine made a nice tea party at snack time. 

Levi made brownies with Grandma Susan. 





And helped her sew…with truck, of course. 

New Trick

Elias at School

Lewis at School

This awesome drawing was on the back of Lewis’ spelling test. Why? No idea. 

Correct. It is inappropriate to dance on tables. 

The challenge at school was to make a hat that keeps you safe from the sun…but they couldn’t use tape. 

Sick but Busy

As the boys started feeling better we found things to do. They’d been home all of Christmas break so we were feeling a little tired of being home all the time. 

Painting is always a win around here, and if we’re going to have an art show this spring then we need to get moving on projects. 



Elias got a color graded set of loose parts, and lots of new shapes so he’s been building a lot. 

Snowman

Levi is VERY into cars and little tiny pieces to play with. 



Car wash

Augustine and Lewis made a cool library and everyone played for days.
