My Super Crazy Page Turning Boy

He is still reading at least 100 pages a day. Has panick attacks when he finishes a book and does not have the next. And is Crazy Smart.

My Ice Fishing Boy

Another Northern Sport I do not understand...is Ice Fishing a sport?

But my Little Guy sure does look adorable fishing. And my Big Guy aka Bryan sure spends a lot of time doing it.

I only have one question. Who in their right mind drives on the river first? It sure would not be me! Bryan told me last time he drove on the ice it was cracking. And excuse me you stayed there. I am such an indoor girl!!! But I am okay with it as long as I never have to go. I sure do not fit in.

A Glimpse of Brett's World

I was visiting Jake's class and ran into Brett going to recess.

It still seems very strange to this Kansas girl that kids go outside unless it is negative 5 or colder, sled at recess and are learning to snowshoe in gym class. Such a different world. The kids still get a kick out of all the snow!

The View from Here

You know plus a few more inches...

and may I add that I am not even scared to drive in the snow anymore and think 15 degress is a heatwave.

Wisconsin 1st Day of School

We were still living in a hotel for the first week or so they were in school.
Brett walking in a littel nervous and Jake playing it cool. They both have amazing teachers.

Our new life in Wisconsin began

Well actually I have felt like we have been on vacation.

The kids have not started school yet so our days are relaxed and fun filled.

Well for the most part....buying a house is a pain in the you know what.
But word is we close on the 8th and the kids start school tomorrow.

The La Crosse area is beautiful. Full of bluffs and lots and lots of water.

The only down part is that it is COLD.

This is our temporary home. I used to really like it!! That was until I found out that Gander Mountain is no longer paying for it. I'm sure when we check out I will faint when I see the bill. But we will worry about that another day...
We have seen Tangled in 3D
We walked around the Festival of Lights.
2 out of the 3 children were crying near the end complaining of not being able to feel varying body parts due to the fact that it is freezing here.
But I loved it. It was the most impressive display of lights that I have ever seen!

The kids and I spent Thanksgiving swimming and eating our Thanksgiving dinner in the lobby. Of course Bryan was working.

My kind of Thanksgiving....absolutely no stress. But we did miss our Hutch family :(

Did I mention we spend many, many hours swimming?

Yesterday I enrolled the kids in school.
Brett is excited but kind of nervous and Jake is just kind of going with the flow.

Brett was able to spend some time with his class and the kids were able to ask him questions. Like what is your favorite hair product? His reponse. Water.

Jake is going to be in full day Kindergarten. I'm sure I will have one tired boy. He is very excited to eat lunch at school!

I will miss my boys like crazy!

We played at the Children's Museum and had so much fun we joined for the year!

and the grocery stores have lots of cheese!!!!

Well I must go the pool is calling the kid's name. They will swim until Bryan gets back from hunting on the mighty Mississippi and then off to buy school supplies!!

Love from Wisconsin!
