Dressing up for Chinese New Year
It was a snowy night. Seems like that is all we have had in Colorado in February, when we traveled down south for a Chinese New Year Meal. The food was good, and Tyler and Cody dressed up for the occasion. You can see from the pictures below who embraces their heritage the best..

Tyler gets 3 PB's and 1 DQ
Tyler took part in the 2015 8 and under Winter special swim meet today. He improved his times on 3 out of 4 events, would have been four if he hadn't been DQ'd on his last butterfly stroke.
His team won overall, and he swam very well.

Tyler gets an excellent conference report
Tyler had his school conference this week. He scored really highly (99th percentile), and he got to explain what he has been doing for the last 100 days at school.
On the way out he showed me his picture and writing about what he would be doing when he was 100. This was mainly explaining how he wouldn't be able to drive, and would probably have no hair, and could watch TV all day and eat popcorn. I guess I must be a great role model.

While Mummy is away, the boys will eat
Siew Gin took a few days off to ski with her friends, and so I was left in charge with strict instructions to make sure the boys ate and then ate some more.
We had a fairly relaxing time, visiting Baker Street Pub for fish and chips for Tyler, and visiting the Egg & I for scrambled eggs for Cody. In between we had movie night and a visit to the Broomfield Depot museum to check out the day that a train hit a Kellogs cornflakes delivery truck a 100 years ago.

Nearly every day, Cody brings home some sort of art project from school. When I picked him up today he was walking out of the classroom with the toolbox he had made.

100 Days of School
Tyler was off sick for about 2 weeks, and one of his projects when he was at home was to make something to celebrate a 100 days of school.
Not sure he made the most effort, but at least we had something on the day.

Cody and Tyler enjoy their Kumon spoils
Over the winter break, the Kumon school offered an incentive to the kids to complete their homework. The prize was a gift card for Dairy Queen, and this week we got a chance to go there after Cody had his swim team and get a hot dog and ice cream.
Here they are enjoying their prize.
