Kate watches more Daniel Tiger than her mom would care to admit. Any Daniel fan will recognize the jingle, "That was fun, but now it's done!"
That's how I feel about February. It was truly a fun month, sprinkled with some great activities. Simultaneously, I'm happy to flip the calendar on another winter month and look forward to the coming spring!
Our Ohio friends, Molly & Tim, came for a visit recently. As always, it was wonderful to see and catch up in person.
Tim & Molly tried to convince us of our need for a dog. Scott was definitely on board. I'm notorious for making to-do lists or grocery lists and then leaving them all over the house. For the past several months now, Scott's been secretly adding "Get Puppy" to my lists. Sometimes I will get to Meijer and see "Golden Retriever Puppy" on my grocery list. It always makes me laugh. I'm hoping that we can check this item off sometime in the future!:)
Who needs a baby doll when you can do anything you want to Baby Kate!?!
The kids acted out the story Caps For Sale again and again.
Natalie decided to make Valentine's for the kids in her class this year. On the first one, she wrote, "I 💗 you!" to a little boy in her class. I told her that the heart stands for love. She quickly said that she needed to change it because "I love you is a very bad thing to say to a boy"- says Natalie!
I was able to tag along on Natalie's field trip to a nursing home on Valentine's Day. It was sweet, touching, hot, and sad. When we left, Natalie whispered, "That wasn't my favorite field trip." Getting old is no fun!
Kate LOVES dance class night. I'm at piano with Scott during this time, so my parents help with the pick-up and drop-off. The girls favorite part of the evening is their one-on-one time with Grandpa & Grandma. Natalie begs me to just drop her and go on to piano, so that she can play Old Maid alone with her grandparents. When I ask Kate what her favorite part of dance class is, she almost always replies, "When Grandpa & Grandma pick me up!"
A guys-project...always up to something!
Scott was assigned Theodore Roosevelt for his President Project. Now that I'm all brushed up on my Teddy facts, I'm hoping that Natalie will get assigned him next year too! Think the teacher would notice if we sent in the same work?
We loved the incredible February weather and enjoyed checking out a new, very cool, playground (along with a thousand other children!).
Loving this mild winter!
