February Adventures

February seemed like a very busy month, but apparently I didn't take very many pictures (you can thank me later, ha-ha).  On the 11th, we went back to the Hyak Snowpark for more fun in the snow.  There was a ton of new snow and the girls had more fun playing in it than tubing on it.  And that was okay, because it was about 20 degrees warmer than last time, which was perfect for just playing around.
I had a few great ideas "pinned" for Valentines for my girls to make, but they wanted simpler and easier, and hey, who am I to argue with simpler and easier, right?!
And for them, it was perfect because they were "crafting" and didn't need my help.  A "win/win" all around, if you ask me :)
On the 17th, I took Amelia on a date - blizzards at DQ while we colored with Sharpies.  And when we were mostly done, I happened to notice that the Sharpie had bled through the paper and onto the table - oops!  Thank goodness the employee at DQ was understanding and didn't make us scrub it clean.  Amelia told me she felt "special" on our date!  Yeah - that was my goal!  Can't wait to do it again.
Ken's brother, Kris, came for a short visit at the end of the month and the girls loved every minute they got to spend with him - from bedtime stories, to sharing experiences from school, to eating sushi with him.  We loved his visit too - come back anytime!
