My creative kiddos decided to try and build their own pond in the front yard.
I mean, it looked awesome, but I was pretty sure the woman who owns our home didn't want a pond.
So after playing in it a bit, they went ahead and put the yard back together.

We went grocery shopping. And the good bakery people at Smith's must just feel for moms, because they always leave a box of treats out for a sample.
It gets us through shopping.

While the big kids were in school, we went out for a burger on Mike's day off, to a place Mike has been dying to go to ever since his Aviation Inn days: Farmer Boys.
Mike liked it, I thought it was okay.
And Josh and Sam are always happy if French fries are around.

Adam had a great basketball game.

Grace's class performed the Chinese dragon dance for the Chinese New Year. It was darling!

Adam got to play a "bonus" basketball game, against another charter school. He scored 8 points and did great!

The kids were doing such an amazing job at our new chore system, that I bought a coconut cake at Sam's Club that we've always wanted to try for a fun surprise.
Adam told me that he had no idea I was even capable of buying a decadent store-bought dessert.
Four days later that huge cake was finally gone.
I think we will go with bowling for our next spontaneous reward. ;)
