We started off February with the hopes of no more winter weather. But it was short lived. The girls actually went to school for an entire week the first week of February! Joe and I both got strep that week but after a couple of doses of antibiotics and we were somewhat functional again. I also went to a "Favorite Things" party one evening. You brought 3 of the same item that was around $10. At the party you put your name in a hat 3 times and each person got up and explained why what they brought was their favorite thing that they used. They drew 3 names out of the hat and gave their favorite thing to those 3 people. It was a lot of fun. I took the 31 thermal water bottle holder and came home with lotion, starbucks gift card, crazy socks and eye shadow.
Then the 2nd week of February we were hit with another ice/snow storm. The girls went to school on Monday and then we had the rest of the week off to play in more snow. This snow was more of an ice mixture so most of our time was spent indoors. Joe came home Monday night with his flash light in case we lost power:
And the girls thought it would be fun to play in their swim suits. Even though it was snowing outside and only in the 20s:
We ventured out a little to play in the snow before it melted:
This was our sad attempt at a snowman since most of it was slushy ice by the time we tried to make one:
Friday was Valentine's Day so the girls made the shape of a heart and asked me to look over the loft to look down on them:
By Friday afternoon the roads were clear enough to drive on so I took the girls to the American Girl store so Emily could spend the rest of her birthday money:
We also rode the carousel. This was the first time going that I didn't have a child wanting me to cling on to them for dear life.
On Saturday we lounged around and the girls enjoyed playing in their forts.
After almost a week of being out of school we were ready to start their winter break!
