We love that the kids are getting older and more independent. They're at that great place where they can both stay home alone (G just for a short time), but it gives us the freedom to run errands, or shuttle the OTHER kid to an event.
Ava's been a little obsessed with roller skating over the last few months, and decided to gather up a group of friends for a Saturday afternoon at a local skating rink. I think there were 6+ teens meeting up for a fun roll around the rink for a few hours. It felt a little strange to let her out in the parking lot and let her lead the way from there...but I know she can do it. She texted me about 7 minutes later to let me know they were in...whew!
We're counting down the days until Ava takes her first independent trip to DC...she is excited to check it out, but I warned her not to talk politics while there. The look she gave me was awesome...like I was crazy to think they could avoid that while in DC. Ha!
Her Global Studies class is, completely by timing luck, working on a unit about Russia. What an amazing opportunity to discuss real-time events as they are happening...and learn why Russia felt the need to invade Ukraine. #prayforukraine
G hasn't had anything quite so exciting happen recently...he's just happy and healthy and having fun in 2nd grade! We are wrapping up the annual Heart Association fundraiser...thank you to everyone who has donated thus far!
We're looking forward to the nicer weather this weekend. We got dumped on by a snowstorm earlier this week, and Pria wasn't really sure what to do with it. She was a bit sad to see her available pieces of grass shrink with the white stuff...but I think before we know it, spring will be here!
