Last night was Bhodi's birthday gathering. He was so excited for his big day & when we all got ready to leave he asked Maeve if she would have a sleepover with him. Their little friendship is so darn cute. He is certainly like the little brother she never had. I was so happy she accepted his invite {you never know with Maeve, she's such a mommy's girl!} Wendy sent this photo before they went to bed...How cute are they all snuggled up on the couch with Yooper?!

 And then I got this photo this morning. No surprise that Maeve was up bright & early. She is definitely the earliest riser in our house. And the birthday boy still out cold. 

No school today, so it was the perfect night for a sleepover. Today we're enjoying our low key day. So nice to have these days off every so often. xoxo

This is my new daytime home for the next 4ish months...

My elementary school gymnasium. Just accepted a long term phy ed position. I will be working as the PE teacher from now until the end of the school year. Feels so funny to be back in this school after attending k-4th grade here. Also fun because one of my great friends is the school counselor so we have been able to have lunch dates together. Still friends 30+ years after we attended elementary school here. Sometimes hard to see each other these days because life gets so darn busy! We'll soak up these lunch dates while we can. Monday-Friday I will be getting active with 330 students & wearing my comfy workout clothes to work every day! xo

Winter Jubilee tonight at Titletown.

So many fun happenings going on down there. Live music, tons of ice sculptures & ice games galore. Marin opted out, she had better plans with her friends! We missed her. Acre was also in attendance but not pictured in the stroller next to us.

The ice sculptures were pretty great. All lit up throughout the park.

Every time we saw a new one, they wanted another photo.

But the real fun was the ice games. They had a ice bean bag boards, a shuffleboard table & this fun air hockey table. Cold... but definitely fun for all.

It was a pretty quick visit. We were all pretty cold after about an hour of walking around. Glad we checked it out. The girls definitely enjoyed it. Nice to get some fresh air. This winter is getting long! xoxo

Happy Valentines Day!

This was the photo we used for our Valentines Day card. Always so fun to send out a little extra love to our friends, but not as fun attempting to get a photo of these three. Love them, but they are definitely in the running for being my worst photo subjects! After some whining & having to go outside twice... we got a photo. Look how darn cute they are out in the fresh snow. 

Tonight we had our annual candle lit valentine dinner. Menu for the night was ham & twice baked potatoes. Everyone was happy. Even better, no reservations needed or heavy crowds. 

Our Valentine Crew... minus Jerry who is up north for the weekend.

And one extra tonight... Estelle. Thanks for taking our photo!! I knew we invited her for a reason. Love this crew & we had a great night together. Added bonus is the girls didn't have school today so we will enjoy a three day weekend. Happy Valentines Day to us! xoxo
