In February:
- The girls and I made Gak while Kyleigh was tracked out. They really enjoyed watching how to make it and then playing with it. :)
 |
| Getting acquainted with the feel of the Gak. |
Once they got used to the feel of it, hands were no longer enough. ;)
- The girls got to play outside with their moon dough. (It's flour and baby oil mixed together to make a really soft but moldable "sand".)
- Then it was Valentine's Day. I got a beautiful bouquet of roses. :) And the girls woke up to the dining room decorated for the occasion. I made them a nice dinner of their favorite foods and then surprised them with a crazy-awesome dessert of chocolate fondue with fruits and brownies, chocolate covered strawberries, and sugar cookies hand-dipped in chocolate with sprinkles added. Oh yea, this was a winner. :) (And Nate made it home for dessert! Yay!)
The Valentines for Kyleigh's class we put together and my pretty flowers. :)
 |
| What the girls found when they woke up. |
Oh yea, there were presents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 |
| Ready for school -- Abby brought along her new doll. |
 |
| Abby's Valentine's party at school. |
The excitement of it all just got to be too much for little Abby. :)
Our dessert choices. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
- Then it snowed. After watching just how much it was snowing, we decided to go for a walk in it. :)
Catching snowflakes.
 |
| That's a lot of snow for us 'round here! |
So we got all dressed up and went for a walk.
 |
| Nate and the girls catching snowflakes. |
 |
| And we got to build a snowman on the trail where we were walking! |
 |
| Our snowman!! |
 |
| Nate made a big snowball...guess where that went after I snapped the picture..... |
 |
| And we kept on walkin around the lake. So beautiful. |
On our way home I turned my car into a character from the movie 'Cars'. haha
- The girls played in the kitchen and also discovered what salt does to ice and why they see so much salt on sidewalks after it snows.
 |
| I froze empty yogurt containers full of water. We added salt on top with food coloring. |
 |
| The girls played while the ice did its thing. |
 |
| Then the girls decided the ice chunks needed more food coloring. :) |
 |
| The food coloring helped them to see how the salt "eats" at the ice. |
- Here are a couple random pictures from February. :)
 |
| Abby found lots of hats when I was cleaning out my closet. haha |
 |
| Abby fell asleep in the car and kept right on sleeping after being carried inside. |
 |
| Kyleigh pulled up a chair to watch it snow. :) |
 |
| My girls. |
 |
| My silly girls. ;) |
Well, February was a short month so it seems like not a whole lot happened out of the ordinary. I'm sure we'll make up for it in March. ;)
