February

February is a pretty uneventful month around here.  All the excitement of the holidays is over and you just do your best to get through the tail end of winter.  We are two days away from March am I am feeling accomplished and excited for spring/summer.

Nolan moved up to level six at swimming and is turing into a really good swimmer.

Ice cream sundaes with friends for the Super Bowl.

Quinn and one of her best friends from school, Landry.

The kids had fun celebrating Valentine's Day at school.  Being in elementary school, Nolan's festivities are a little more involved and the kids create pretty cool boxes for their valentines.  Nolan wanted a pirate ship this year.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Nolan loves COSI so we took the kids one Sunday to let off some steam and explore.

Nolan wanted to watch this 3D movie about prehistoric flying creatures.  It was REALLY boring and I'm pretty sure Nolan was the only one who enjoyed it.

A rare moment where they were working together to create a "show" for us later that night.  

We have been actively house hunting.  It's not easy taking the kids with us because they run around like wild people.  Eric and I were looking back at some pictures that I took of a house and found these two in the background.  Quinn had just tooted and poor Nolan was suffering through it.  Their faces crack me up.

Some of Nolan's work in the 1st grade hallway.  We had parent/teacher conferences and got a good report.  Nolan is working really hard while at school and is making a lot of strides in his reading and writing.  This writing above is what Nolan will do when he is 100 years old.  He plans to buy toys for his grandchildren, walk his dog, and watch T.V.
