This week the kiddos went to school when they were scheduled off to make up for snow days, however, because Brooke is in primary school they had to take off one day for grading that isn’t required for preschool. So while Alex went to school today we had a little Mommy/Daughter Date!
Brooke asked me if we could give Daddy a treat like the one I had. I helped her modify the treat to things he would like better, like substituting beer for tea and a movie for reading. AJ said he really enjoyed his treat!
We went to Great Wolf Lodge today as a family and had a really great time! We got to spend a lot of time in the water and on the big slides with them and they did a good job going on the little slides by themselves while we watched. Both kids also did the obstacle course and had fun! Brooke wore her wolf ears to school the next day!
One thing that makes the cold 30 degree days of winter better is the University of Arizona College of Science Winter Lecture Series. This year is Humans, Data, and Machines and AJ is more into this year than last years astrophysics lectures and I am learning more about computer science.
For my Christmas Present this year AJ gave me a coupon to use for tickets to a play. I picked out a show at the Virginia Stage Company: Pride and Prejudice. AJ arranged a sitter and after a delicious dinner at Luna Maya we set off to the historic Wells Theater. The theater was gorgeous inside and also other patrons were dressed in period garb which made the evening even more fun. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it!
