everydayness

I'm not sure how February got away from me so quickly when January seemed to drag on. Seriously, January felt like four months and yet February only a flash. Guess I just needed to get over that gray hurdle. At any rate I feel like I've missed so much amongst the whirlwind so here is a bit of an update in photos.


Our school periodically puts on fundraisers at local restaurants where a portion of your meal goes to the school. This time it was 30% (much higher than anything they've ever given) and an opportunity for a burger so we thought we would support. It was actually a lot of fun to have the majority of the restaurant filled with the girls' friends. I'll I can say for the salad in the photos is that I was meeting up with friends later that evening and going to dinner with them so I opted for something lighter.


For Megan's valentine box we made a cat out of a fishy cracker box.


Cookies with a message. The girls and I made these Valentine goodies using these cookie cutters from William Sonoma.


FHE lesson on life's ups and downs tailored to what the girls might be dealing with right now. Ended up being a really great family discussion.


The weather has been snowy and then warm, snowy and then warm, which means the girls are out riding scooters one day and then it's buried in snow the next. Trying to help them see why we put away our toys after we've used them--not sure it's working.


case in point...


Bella and Megan grew out of their violins so we took them to Charles Liu and exchanged them both. Upgrading as you go is definitely the way to do it.


Marshmallow art. Have you ever done it?

Have a good one.

I love the shots of the Razor, the tiny toys, and the violin. Thanks for the update! I always go through Amy withdrawals if you haven't posted in a couple days.

Love to see these every day life shots. I'm glad I'm not the only one with toys left out. I'm off to photograph the basketball in the middle of the front lawn!
