barrett: 104 months old

                                         

Barrett got a haircut!  He came home asking for one, and when I asked him why, he said he was tired of long hair.  And, apparently, tired of classmates asking him why he had "girl hair."  Insert heavy sigh and eye roll here.  So, I told him it's his hair, he can decide to cut it, but it has to be because he wants to and not because his classmates think his hair is too long.  And, being in Texas and it always being hot, he was ready to cut it shorter.  So he did, and it looks great!  

Barrett's favorite Christmas gift was his electric scooter!  He's been having fun whizzing up and down the street.  Barrett is still doing tennis lessons, and soon will be starting baseball!  It's his first year playing, and I hope he enjoys learning the game.  Though the hubs and I are not sure how we can pull off both kids playing ball this spring - between practices and games, we may never leave the fields!  Barrett is also starting an art/drawing class that meets after school once a week.  


Likes:  "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Dog Man" books, creating his restaurant in Roblox

Dislikes:  when I want to drive to school in the cold weather - he'd rather walk!

149 months old



We've had a fantastic two weeks of winter break - sleeping in, doing a whole lot of nothing, and of course, celebrating Christmas and getting awesome Christmas goodies!  Britton's favorite present from Santa was concert tickets to Marina - her first concert!

With the new covid variant flaring up, we stayed pretty close to home, but did get in an early showing of the new Spiderman movie, and a round at TopGolf!  Absolutely nobody is looking forward to getting up early tomorrow and getting back to school/work, but Britton is ready to see her friends.  January is bringing band sectionals (she has to do a solo for "Minuet in G") and spring softball tryouts are at the end of the month.  Britton is doing softball and Barrett is doing baseball, so I imagine we're going to be ridiculously busy the next couple of months!


Likes:  getting books from the library that she's already read, heating the pool so we can swim on Christmas

Dislikes:  3 months until Spring Break!
