February Randomness

Yesterday we had snow all day amounting to several inches.  Today it's melting and everything is turning to mud.  I always say that the closer we get to spring, the shorter time that the snow hangs around.

February Events - Valentine's Day - I made the kids red jello.  We drank our water from goblets.  And I cut the grilled cheese sandwiches into heart shapes.  Josiah's Birthday - How can I have a man-child who is this old already!

February Reading - I continued to work my way through my collection of Agatha Christie books (reading/skim reading depending on the book)...alphabetizing them as I returned them to their shelf.  One of these days I will buy the few that I am missing including my favorite, The Man in the Brown Suit.  I should request it at the library so that I can read it again.  From there I went on to the few Dorothy Sayers books that I own (5, all about Lord Peter Wimsey).  I think I may go on to read my collection of Emilie Loring books.  I read a few old Lori Wick books as well for something different.  And we went to a different library so I could indulge in my children's book favorites of Munsch/Murtchenko books.

Homeschooling - We are in the thick of things, working hard to stay focused now because I know how much harder it will be when spring comes!  This is also the time of year when I start thinking about what we're doing next year.  Co-op is going well.

Several of us had a stomach virus the past week or so...not so much fun that.

Randy had surgery to remove an abscess from his shoulder a few weeks ago.

Time marches on...

Enjoy your day!
