February...

 

Colin and I had a date night the last weekend in January.

We went to St. Mark's School auction.

Fun and stressful to get dressed up.

I didn't have a nice dress that fit, so of course I waited until a couple of days before to drag myself shopping.  Then I took a look at Colin's suits and sport coats, which are mostly dating back before we met.  So, we headed to Dillards, kids in tow. 

 

  It's why I shop online.

Grocery store: no problem.

Department store: no good.

 

 

 This is a picture I took out of extreme guilt.

I was thinking about how many pictures I used to take ...

 kids going for a walk, doing puzzles, just hanging around the house.

So, I picked up my camera and took a picture of what Maggie was doing ...

watching Dora

: (

 

We had a sweet visit from Maria and Gianna Lewis.

Why I didn't get a picture of the two of us, I don't know.

The kids loved playing with Gianna, and she put on quite a show for us.

Maggie was in awe.

 

 So thankful they came by to see us. 

 

 

 Colin did another day as a watchdog at school.  Dads can spend the day helping out at the school.   Such a great program.

 

 

 I was taking this picture so he could send it to the program leader who requested one.

Maggie couldn't handle not being in the picture.   She wiggled her way in.

Cooper and Charlie decided to accessorize with Maggie's bows.

 

 Baked Cookies for the teachers for Valentines. 

 

Colin surprised me with flowers and my favorite candy on the 21st.   I had told my friend Claire I felt like I was forgetting a birthday or something.   Colin remembered our first date 13 years ago.  : )
So sweet and romantic of him.  

Made cookies for my Bible Study group - ENDOW.

 

Also made a million king cakes this season.

And ate a lot of king cake.

 

 

 

 

Mr. Cub Scout.

 

Jackson loves making these little paper airplanes.... he got a calendar for Christmas that has a template for each day.

 

 

Crazy hat day at school.
