We spent some time getting ready for Valentine's Day...also known (at our house) as "hearting".
We did hearts, cards, stickers and coloring. And lots and lots of gluing.
We visited the Arizona Science Center with our friend from college, Jon, and his family. The kids panned for gold and dug for dinosaur bones. I'm not sure what the connection is between the two, but panning for gold seems to be a common attraction at Arizona museums and events.
We had a few really warm days to ride our bikes, but mostly, February was cool and sunny. Just right in my opinion.
We hiked with C&T and the dog on a cloudy Saturday and then, to make Timmy happy, picked up pizza on the way home because we were all starving.
Timmy's new obsession, as evidenced by his scratched up body, is tree climbing. He will suddenly jump off of his bike (while it is still moving) if he sees a good climbing tree.
Cate had to bring an umbrella to school last week for the letter "U" week. I didn't have anything fun for her to bring, so both kids got a new, Disney umbrella. Then they insisted on taking several walks with the umbrellas...even though there was not a drop of rain.
Our most recent news is that Tim got their new swing set put together last weekend, so we are hoping that they will get a lot of use out of it before the weather gets too hot!
