Here’s what we were up to in February:

Silas enjoyed creating projects on the scroll saw

Silas loved receiving his Kiwi Crates in the mail to build

Phoebe likes to stay warm on the vents

Brownies!

Warming up by the fire

Tiny Dancer

An outdoor boy scout event at the YAC (Youth Activity Center)

We came home from Scottsdale to this:

Fortunately, Jonathan is pretty handy and was able to do the repairs himself (and didn’t take long doing it, either.)

Here he is checking the skylight

Incidentally, here’s the view from our roof

We also found this!

The snow was more fun for the kids this year than it was for us

Jonathan, Avery and Kieron went to visit Nana and install bookcases in her family room

Before:

And after:

Pinewood Derby time came around. We got Silas’ picture with his trophy before the race. He came in second this year and passed the trophy onto the next winner

Layla made a car to race too

I got to watch on Zoom

Goofin’ off

The kids spent a lot of time in the woods building forts

We got a new sofa, and when we moved the old one we discovered Layla’s secret stash!

Here’s the new sofa – much better fit for us!

Phoebe wasn’t sure what to do once she got up into the kitty condo

First day of in-person learning! Whoo hoo!

Sweet big brother braiding little sister’s hair

While Jonathan and the big boys were at Nana’s, Silas, Layla and I had a sleepover with Ethan, Clare & Caroline

The girls did a spa night

We joined in on the face masks – creepy!

Meanwhile the boys did some gaming

Then we all had a dance party – it was a fun night!

Last night as an eight-year-old
