Well, I was having a rare illness-free winter and thought I was home free, but the flu caught up with me for the last week of February. Ah, well. Looking back at February, we had a birthday to celebrate! Might be the last one we count for a while. ;)
There were a few events around town celebrating engineers' week, so I did manage to get the kids out to see Dream Big when the mayor brought it to town for free last weekend. They also had some hands-on projects for the kids to try beforehand, which was fun. It was a nice change up from the usual rigamarole of birthday parties, soccer games, and long indoor staring contests, all of which we did that day, too!
Oh, before I forget... we did a mini-Valentine's celebration. The kids both get parties (and lots of candy) at school, so I set up a scavenger hunt for them at home. There were about half a dozen rhyming clues that sent them to different locations around the house until they finally found bags with a book and sweets inside. It was fun to watch them try to decipher the clues, and they really enjoyed figuring it out!
Lastly, I just had to share something I found one afternoon. Hadley had gone downstairs to practice piano, and I turned around to discover her lovey, Kitty, penned in by blocks while she was gone. I asked her later why, and she said, "to keep her safe." Not sure from whom or what, but I left it at that. Kitty, rest assured you are in good hands.
