February Tidbits

 We did our best to brave the February weather. We got quite a bit of snow which made us go a little bit stir crazy. The cold weather also got to Vince and he came down with the flu. Once he recovered we got back into the swing of things. I made a carrot cake (just for the heck of it) and Vincent volunteered to peel the carrots. It was like the angels were singing and I was in heaven as he did the dirty work. Don't worry-- I know I'm a lucky lady!

Snow, squishy grass, or sunshine, we tried our best to get some outdoor time. Being cooped up doesn't sit well with these little ones. We also made a special trip to visit the Ohio Griffioens. They were all singing in church and we decided to join them so we could have an excuse to visit. We ate some yummy food, played Bonanza, 7 Wonders, and Qwirkle, sang, watched Inside Out and enjoyed some good old fashioned family time. We actually had some beautiful 60 degree weather during our visit so the kids got to run around outside too. A pretty good start to the month so far!
