saturday trevor had his last basketball tournament in chippewa. mom met us there to watch him. 

sunday trev had his baseball camp with the University baseball team at the new Sonnentag athletics building on the turf field. he enjoyed it and there were not too many kids so they pretty much got their own baseball player coach at each station. tova had swimming lessons at night. 

monday Al was off work. i worked out at 9am and then go to go to jenny and get my hair done. 

tuesday was super cold so the kids didn't have school. Al was off so we went and saw the dogman movie in the theater. it wasn't our favorite movie but the popcorn was good!

thursday was trev's basketball practice.

friday Al was off; we ran errands during the day and got to the gym. 

saturday it snowed a lot but trev's basketball tournament in osseo was still on. so we left super early and slowly drove down there (they had much less snow than eau claire did.) after the tourney we went to our boards and bricks store in osseo (lego, games, puzzles, and candy) and then had a smaller early supper at northwords which used to have a restuarant in eau claire we'd go to. by the time we drove home it was sunny and the roads were all plowed! we had to shovel again once home though. 

sunday i took the kids sledding and it was the super bowl. we watched at matt & jodi's house and tova had swimming lessons during it. 

monday trev had his yearly check up and got 4 shots :( He's still super tall and making his own chart above the normal sized kids chart haha. he then had basketball practice after school

tuesday tova had her 6 month followup at the orthodontist and she'll be getting her expander on the top of her mouth in march; she's ready and excited for braces!! she also had her basketball after school.

friday Al was off work and it was our last day with murphy. after school we went to matt & jodi's for supper then walked over to the husky hoops north high boys basketball game where trev & his teammates (and all the other husky hoops players) got to go on the court at half time.

sunday tova started her swimming lessons; she's finally in the numbered levels and trev has completed swimming lessons. 

monday i did payroll, ran errands and worked out at noon. after school i took trev to get his hair cut so it was out of his face especially for basketball. the lady cutting his hair said he gave her a good arm workout because he has so much hair.
