Beach Day At Both Schools

It was Kokomo Beach Day at Katie's school and Beach Day at Zach's school. So mom decided to follow the kids to each school and find out what all the fun was about.
Pirate Zach here with his girlfriend Grace dig for buried treasure. They were focusing on the letter "S" today and many "shells" were in the sand to find.

Katie's school cafeteria at lunch time was turned into a "beach" with the towels spread out and lunch was served. Katie is the one in the left hand corner sharing her towel with the new girl who had no clue on what to bring for this big celebration. Alli and Anna are on the towels next to hers.

Then Katie was jumping and dancing to the extreme. She was moving so fast that nothing on my camera could capture her! Wow, Katie!

Then the 1st graders goes nuts with dancing as the song "Crazy Frog" is played. Notice the cool boys from Katie's class in the front. Too cool to jump around. :)

This was definitely a fun day for all here in Zionsville. It started to snow as I walked out the door of Katie's school. Ahhhhh. If only it were spring....

Seeing Brothers Holman Without Leaving Indiana

How lucky I am as the oldest sister to have both my brothers come visit me within a week of each other. Didn't have to drive...except to Patrick's or the Children's Museum...but I will take that any day to have a little Holman fun.

Rob zoomed in week before last for a quick Prime Rib at Patricks and just long enough to learn that he enjoys drinking Stella. This was valuable information which helped me decide what beverage to provide for the other brother during his visit. Of course the standard Mountain Dew and Diet Pepsi was on hand as well.

Bill, Judy, Maddy and Mo arrived on a busy Valentine's Day here at the Nurk household. Everyone had fun on their minds as we took over the local wings place. The kids had fun with the video games and quickly dominated the field. After loading up on fried delicacies, we headed back to watch the recycle bin fill up quickly. And of course laugh at my husband get upset about the TV and then bring on some rockin tunes.

The next day we headed to the Children's Museum to show the Ohio gang what happens when Hoosiers have very little to do on a three-day weekend. It was a little crowded but the kids did not mind and we even got to take in a comic strip workshop and some autism education. All four kids were just perfect. Lots of fun and good times.

Btw, we were/are fighting fever/flu things here. Katie did two weeks ago...Zach did last week and as I am typing, Jeff now has a 102 fever. So I am hoping our Ohio brethren did not take anything more than luggage home with them.

But don't let that stop you! Come back soon y'all. Ya, here???

See ya in March.

Achew!

R.I.P Two Hour Naps

Ahhhhhhhh...we have officially hit another milestone here. Time to get busy. I was VERY lucky to have a good napper the 2nd time around. Now Mr. Zach is wanting to stay up and play with his cars or talk mom into going to Target to get more cars. But don't worry, Mom has a plan...I signed him back into Gymnastics school on Thursdays. Gotta keep that boy focused!

Next up, we are working at writing his name. He has the Z down and part of the a. Not bad for a wise little guy.
