Family Night O' Fun!

We had another busy weekend. The Fitchs, my parents and our family put on a huge yard sale at our house on Sat and Sun. It was extremely successful! Feels so good to be be rid of some of the junk we had in the garage. Our neighborhood is doing another one in March so we saved the leftovers to try and sell next month. After the next sale our garage will look awesome!!
Matt went on his first field trip last week. They went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Performing Arts Center. Matt's piano teacher played the organ for the show. Matt really enjoyed it. This was also his first school bus ride. We talked about it the night before and he was nervous about the bus because he wouldn't have a seat belt. Matt said he started to get nervous during the field trip but then stopped and decided he was actually having fun! After I dropped Micah off at school I saw all the buses pulling away from Matt's school and I cried. How did my little boy get so big?
Micah started gymnastics last week. He LOVES it!! He has been asking everyday when he gets to go again. We did a trial class and didn't even need to go home to talk about if we should sign up for classes. Micah had a huge smile and was bouncing around during the class so after it was over we went right up to the front desk to sign up! So now Matt's special activity is piano and Micah has gymnastics.
Matt brought home a flyer for t-ball. He saw me looking at the paper and asked,"Did you sign me up for t-ball?" I said, "No not yet, but I can if you want to play." Matt quickly said, "No thanks, I don't want to do that." Hmmm...I can respect that but team sports are so important...Matt is off the hook this year but he will probably have to play next year!
Karl took this video of Melea while I was at work this morning.

So here is a glimpse into a typical evening in the Stutelberg home.

Lea loves her bath! I think the days of her bathing in the kitchen sink are coming to an end. I am tired of mopping up water all over the kitchen after her baths!

This is bouncing Micah!

The Karl and Matt Show!

Oh, one more thing...Matt will proudly tell you he has the longest last name in his class! He is also one of the few kids who can spell and write their last name! I hear this is not uncommon among Stutelberg boys. Apparently it was the same for Karl! Micah is also learning to spell our last name. We turned it into a song STU TEL BERG Cha Cha Cha!

You have no idea how much fun this looks from my perspective! I could use a night of silliness and baby-snuggling instead of another night of reading! Can't wait to see you all!

You forgot cranky baby up crying mulitple times at night, bed wetting episodes, and nightmares, all in the same night.
