February 2015

Okay - here goes another month!!  My mom and dad came to visit this month, and Mom always takes 1000 pics each time we visit (literally - no matter the trip length, somehow the number always settles near 1000), so I distill it down to my faves, and...  here they are!  Plus some more I took this month.








First time watching Brave - a close second fave movie to Frozen


Upkeep on the fairy house


Snowman - yes, those are rabbit poop eyes.





Puddle stomping!






Making the solar system - now hanging in her room!

Learning about wishbones


Training for Charley's marathon






The kid has ALWAYS been obsessed with vehicles!!!  From one tire...
 ... to the other!




Nebraska sunsest

Making a Mardi Gras King Cake






Crescent Lake








Gotta have beads for Mardi Gras, right?


Prepping for the parade - decorating their rides



So fun!  My favorite thing we did!

Popcorn confetti - bird/nature friendly, of course!








This "special book" is how I learned to read - I have a copy for the kids.


 A view from the top of the sandhill nearest our house, that housed the refuge radio/communication towers.








Where is that kid going??


Charley planned an indoor picnic for everyone with her picnic basket (thanks Grandma!).


We arranged to meet the bus before school one morning so Charley could ride it.





Breakfast at the S&S, our fave diner

Reed acts like he's one of the class!


I co-hosted the class Valentine's party with Rachel, another mom


Charley's teacher, who took maternity leave soon after


We got to eat lunch with C in the cafeteria


Pops making magnets for C's chore chart

We got the kids outdoor toys for their birthday, to encourage them to be outside more...  they haven't seen much use since!










Hiking up the sandhill behind our house








Making fritzerfills!



Mom always plans lots of fun activities and art projects for the kids when she visits.


Popcorn and nature movie.










Playing princesses


On to Valentine's day cupcakes!



 I loaded all of Rod's music onto an MP3 for him for V-day


 
Deer in our yard!

Watching Mr. Marlin blow snow from our driveway.
