February Little Things

Here are a few fun odds and ends from our February 2017.
Olivia and Nate had a Daddy Daughter Date for Activity Days. They played basketball,  had ice cream sundaes and the girls pretended to shave their dads with whipped cream!

I just had to snap these cute ones of my kids at church. They were being so cute together and it just was one of those family moments that made my mother heart happy.

Olivia sends the most adorable texts...I just have to remember how cute these are!

Albion Middle School had their maturation program this month. Nate had already had the talk with Owen, but they went anyway because it's just good information and we want to have lots of conversations with our kids. BUT FIRST they had to do a guys dinner at Crown Burger, which happens to be BOTH of their favorite burger. Like father, like son. Look at those smiles.

Being the PTA president this year has made for a busy year for our family, but the kids are enjoying being a part of the action. They are great helpers! The kids came with me to help set up the Book Fair this year. Here's Olivia in the library with the cute decorations from our Happy Camper Book Fair.

Jonah started Karate this month and is LOVING it so far. It's a great opportunity for him and it's something he's been wanting to do. Win Win! Plus, look how cute he looks in a gee?!?

I love how much art we have coming home this year. With 3 kids in elementary school it's probably the most we will ever have and I love displaying it in our kitchen. It's making me happy this month. I think they are all AMAZING artists.

Another happy decoration is our Christmas cards. I love putting them up on our cupboards in December. It just is so cheerful and it's one of my favorite Christmas decorations. Well, I decided towards the end of February that maybe it was time to take them down and it was just so sad. I should have left them up longer! Maybe next year I'll just move all the family ones to the fridge so I can keep enjoying them for longer.

We took the kids to Classic Fun Center one Saturday. Charlotte was there at a birthday party and I wasn't sure how she would do so we took all the kids and just played while she partied. They had fun on the bounce houses and the jungle. Owen tried out the arcade and we paused for a quick photo shoot with the Star Wars characters.

We had a little fender bender on the freeway that resulted in our car having to be fixed. Not such a fun part of the month, but thankfully no one was hurt.

Olivia made this card at school in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day! How great is this?!?

We had the kids work on the art sets that Miss Beth sent them and then they held them up as they sang "Happy Birthday" in a video we made for her. Here is Jonah working on his masterpiece!

And this photo of Jonah in the bathtub is just too awesome not to remember.

So that wraps up our February. Lots of fun with this awesome clan of ours.
