Cabin Fever

We kicked off February with a Super Bowl...I mean "The Big Game" Party with our small group

We had a few warmer days at the beginning of the month. I would have bottled up the sunshine had I realized what the weeks following would hold. ((Brrrr))

I love the view of being a "boy mom"

Frank has been working on getting the backyard ready for spring

Finished the brick boarder

Mixing the concrete

Leveling the concrete slab

Next week Frank will lay the stone for the patio : )

This month we built a "love chain" when Benjamin or Hannah demonstrated love.

One act of love was coloring and delivering Valentines to residents at Park View

They said, "I love you and Jesus does too" then had our Bible verse he was learning (above)

He was very proud of the finished product

Benjamin really enjoyed going from door to door and handing out Valentines

Such a sweet boy!

I think we spent a total of 15 minutes outside during the past 2 weeks.

This was the forecast last week...

So we rushed to the grocery store and bought a bazillion eggs

We were disappointed when all we got was 1/2" of sleet : (

At least Benjamin enjoyed shoveling the ice

I made a little "sleetman" family 

We made our own "snow" in the bathtub

Pajama parties
