It's pretty fun. Instead of just phone messages, you get illustrated messages.
The third graders' project for December was a "How To" speech. Ellie chose "How To Draw a Cartoon Animal" and Conor picked "How To Run a Motion Offense". Here the speech is written, and they're rehearsing how to demonstrate it. (I was no help on this speech).
So Nelly has a new song out. Conor and Ellie both like it, and Jon and I were telling them they've always liked him. Jon played this song for them. Before they were even talking much, Conor could sing it. Turns out, Rowan likes it too.
Conor got a marshmallow shooter from Bailey and Jaden. It's pretty popular around here. And I have to admit, it makes a very satisfying sound when you shoot it.
For the record, Conor did let his siblings have a turn.
Along with a uniform, the Heat also have warm-ups with their name on the back. In typical Conor fashion, he thinks it's "okay". I think it's pretty cool. 
Rowan got some tools from his cousins for Christmas. Now he can fix anything in the house.
Part of the problem with blogging a month after the picture of the day is taken is that you have no idea why you took the picture in the first place. I'm sure there's a really good story behind it. You'll just have to trust me.
At any given time, Rowan's hands are full, usually of "guys". When he goes potty, they're waiting for him right outside the door. When he takes a nap, they nap on the floor beside his bed.
