Valentine Cards/Park/Soccer

Jack and Lauren were so excited to start their Valentine cards for their classmates this week. After school on Monday, I told the kiddos they could start the cards and we would do a few each day until they got them all finished. I should have known, BOTH of them finished all of their cards on Monday. They loved writing their names, putting stickers on the cards, and putting the candy on top.

It was so nice this week that we went to the park. Oh, we all loved being outside running around...getting A LOT of energy out. I don't know what is going on with Jack (probably the fact that he is a five year old boy who has been stuck inside for several months.) but wow, has that little guy been bouncing off the walls. He is so ready to play outside, ride bikes, and climb trees in our backyard. Hopefully, we will have a nice spring so we can do that SOON!

Lauren's favorite was swinging.

My little monkey...

There was a huge field next to the park and all Jack wanted to do was run the length of it as fast as he could.

Lauren was so tired when she came back from her run!

Jack started a new soccer class recently. He is in a under 7 class that focuses more on the game of soccer and the positions. He is the youngest in the class and has a lot of learning to do. I am so proud of how hard he tries to keep up with the big kids, how well he listens to his coaches and his overall effort. Even though he is the worst in his class (don't mean to be rude, but it is true) he still says he really likes it and understands that most kids are two years older than him.

I tried to get a picture of how small Jack is compared to some of the other boys. Tough to see though...
