November

The kids both did excellent on the first quarter grades.  They made Honor Roll in the paper!

Bobby got chosen to provide the Veteran's Day speech during Mass at school.  We worked on it together to make sure his ideas could shine.  I helped with composition and word choice but he wrote a beautiful speech.  After the ceremony he received a lot of kudos and chants "Bobby for President!"  He enjoyed the accolades.  Emmy also was chosen as part of a special group to sing at Mass and at the Ceremony.  She was very excited to be chosen to sing on this special day.

Emmy has been having a great hockey season and so to celebrate we ventured out on a day where Bismarck was still recovering from a major blizzard (2 feet in 24 hours).  McDonalds and all other restaurants were closed but the gas station was still open.  Bobby decided to join at the last minute and wanted me to get his treat since he was in his jammies.  We insisted he buck up and pick out his own treat which made us laugh since he was not dressed to be amongst people in public!

Since the kids did so well with their grades, we celebrated with a special meal......Nara Ramen.

 Classes were cancelled for 2 days while Bismarck dug out of an early blizzard.  It was pretty crazy to get this much snow already.
