The Settlemoir Family Blog: Our January

January brought temperatures all over the place, irritating colds for 3/5 of us, lots of school responsibilities for Caden, basketball games for Cole, and another lost tooth for Kieran.

The boys taught Nana and me how to play the PlayStation VR. The carnival game is a lot of fun.

At some point most nights, both cats end up in our room in their spots. Jovie adopted her new bed. Her new thing is dragging it around the bedroom. I am not sure where she wants it.

Kieran lost his second tooth on January 2nd. I was hoping he would lose it before Christmas, but no such luck. He almost lost it while spending Christmas gift cards at Toys R Us, but I made him wait until we were in the car.

Most nights, Rey starts out by hiding under Cole's bed right before bedtime and hopes that she is allowed to stay. As long as her purring doesn't keep Cole awake, I allow it. They are both happiest when I let her stay. The night before this photo was taken, Rey had gifted Cole with a red Angry Bird.

On the last day of winter break, we met one of Kieran's kindergarten friends (Zaiden) at Chuck E. Cheese's for games and pizza.

More of Rey's antics...

For some reason, Rey has adopted my Ugg boots. Too bad she didn't discover them earlier. She would have been able to fit inside of them a year ago.

Jovie snuggled up against Nana during some game time for the boys.

Rey found her spot with Caden on the beanbag. She alternated between watching Caden's game and sucking on her paw.

Cole is playing basketball in the Chatham recreational league again this winter. He is #5 on the red team. It is hard for me to get good photos in this gym. The lighting is weird, and the movement is constant unless someone is shooting a free throw.

Kieran switched to a backless booster. I made the mistake of not taking the old booster to the basement right away. Now, we have a booster seat in one of our entry ways. Jovie and Rey think it is a great sleeping spot.

Kieran celebrated 100 days of kindergarten!

We were excited about the return of Food Network's Kids Baking Championship. The show makes us hungry and also inspires baking here. We enjoyed Cole's creation (white cake with strawberry icing) first.
