Spring Break at the Wisconsin Dells

Dad decided about a week ago that we needed to get away and go to the Wisconsin Dells during the kids' spring break.  We decided to go this year to our favorite resort, The Kalahari, as it's the one that has all the rides and water fun in one room making everyone happy to do what they love most.  We arrived Tuesday, swam, and stayed up real late.  Spent all day Wednesday at the waterpark, and then ended our trip today at the arcade as well as the Tommy Bartlett Exploratory that came with the waterpark tickets.  Our trip went by real fast.  I'm actually bummed to be home, but thankful we got away and still have some more days left of spring break.

Kallen's Basketball Season

Tonight Kallen finished up his fourth-grade basketball season as champions!  The team was made up completely of Legacy boys with dad as the coach.  They were undefeated all season (one game ended with a tie) and won the championship game last night with a score of 32-10.  They played so well last night and it was fun watching them be so successful.  Instead of trophies, they received championship rings that are honestly huge for their little fingers, but super fun.  They also had both fourth-grade teachers and their principal come cheer them on.  

I just love watching the kids play, and with Kallen's great defensive play and his drive, I'm excited to see him just continue to strive at the game he loves so much.

Elementary Spring Musical

Tonight the youngest three had their spring musical concert.  They sang so well and looked so nice.  I was a very proud mama tonight, and a little emotional as it hit me that it's Kallen's last elementary production.  Overall, nothing brings me more joy than hearing my kiddos sing praise songs to their Lord in Savior.

Ian's Basketball Season

Today was the end of Ian's 2022 basketball season.  His team consisted of all classmates and Dad as the head coach, so it was a lot of fun for us all.  Most of the season just involved learning basic skills.  Today however ended with a game on the big court.  The team played a pretty equal team as the game went to six periods and still ended in a tie, 26/26.  Loved watching him play and am excited to see him continue to grow in his love for the game.

I Love to Read Month

Today was the official ending to Legacy's Annual "I Love to Read" month.  The entire month is devoted to reading more and reading your bibles.  The kiddos love this month because there are so many extra fun activities throughout the weeks.  This week ended with three super fun days!  Wednesday, was dress-up like a teacher, yesterday was pajama day (my favorite), and today was dress-up as your favorite book character.  The kids participated all week and I failed to capture pictures minus a few today.  The closing ceremony this year involved the head of school and principal competing in fun, odd competitions and then having nasty consequences for losing.  The kids loved it.  Following the ceremony, the kids present the project they worked on all month to the parents in their classrooms.  They did a great job.

CHARACTERS AND PROJECTS:

Kallen: Big Nate and All About Dr. Seuss

Ian: Caleb with the abandoned/hurt fox, Copper from his favorite series, Animal Rescue Center and All About Charlotte's Web

Maddie: Judy Moody and All About Lizards

Now that Caleb is in the fifth grade, he didn't participate in "I Love to Read" dress-up days or competitions but instead participated in the Wax Museum as Tim Tebow.  The fifth graders spent the month reading a nonfiction story about a famous person with a faith story.  They then made projects and become alive during the museum to educate parents about their person.  As a parent, it can be a lot of work, but really fun to see the end results. 

President's Day

Since the kiddos were off of school today because of President's Day, we decided to make it a fun day before the predicted snow arrived.  We spent over three hours at Urban Air, jumping, laughing, competing, and burning energy. The craziest part is they probably would have kept jumping if it wasn't for the fact that it was around 2:00 and I was hungry.
