It has been fun to watch Jayden play a sport that involved his hands after so many months of just soccer. In the beginning it looked kind of awkward, but then he pulled it together, and became very comfortable with the ball. Jayden has also been playing Futsal (an indoor soccer game played on a basketball court. That was a new and fun experience that has taught him more foot/ball control. I once again played the slacker mom role and forgot the camera for all eight of those games.
Makenna and I were joking that her tooth moved to the center and just kind of hung there like Igor. She giggled and giggled over it. I love that she is a person who can laugh at herself with a light heart.
Absolutely six!!!

We had a mommy/daughter night. It was so much fun. The game was very close all the way through. The next day my arms were sore from holding her up and dancing. She was so overcome with joy that she threw her arms around me and said, "Thank you for staying, this is soooo much fun!" A lot of the girls left after they performed and she was able to appreciate that we hung around to watch the whole game.
When we got home it was pretty late. Jayden and Devon went to our friends' house and Matt picked them up when he got out of school. The game was recording on our DVR, so Matt put it on to see if they could sneak a peek of their sister's performance. The boys tried to stay awake and wait for their sister to get home, but sleep prevailed.
Jayden got the new Warriors book titled, "Long Shadows". We didn't hear much from him until he finished it. I take great pleasure in seeing the kids totally consumed by a book.
Super Bowl was a good excuse to lay around, eat foods we normally wouldn't and in Makenna's case, take a nap.
