It’s been a fun and fast week...there were a few happy hours, and even a neighborhood party to wish our neighbors/friends well as they move into their new home (at least they are moving just a mile away...they aren’t going far!) With all of this fun, we still managed to squeeze in some quality time with the kids.
Ava had a make up baton class last Sunday afternoon, since so many classes have been cancelled recently due to the weather. Ironically, it was pretty much a blizzard when I drove her to the make up class, so I hunkered down at the restaurant/bar next door and enjoyed a Bloody Mary. When Ava joined me after class, we had a fantastic late lunch together. It was great to hang out for a mother/daughter afternoon while the boys stayed at home!
With all of the snow we’ve had lately, we decided it was time to employ our children to start helping with the snow clearing. Ava does a fairly good job with the light stuff, but she gets bored (and frustrated) when it’s heavy and wet. This is how she protests!
Oh yeah, it was Valentine’s Day this week! We simply stayed in for a nice dinner, and bought each other beer/wine instead of anything fancy (and it was perfect!) I needed to work that night (production deploy) so it wasn’t the most exciting way to spend the evening, but at least we were all together. I did have a chance to partake in a Galentine’s Day happy hour the night before, so that was fun!
Looking ahead, we have some fun events we’re planning for in the upcoming months. We’re heading to Kansas in April to celebrate my Aunt Steph’s achievements (more details later), and a group of friends and I have plans for a fun overnight event in May...celebrating being a mom! It’s the fun stuff like this that helps us get through the winter doldrums (although, the weather recently has been anything but boring!)
