February 2021
Once again Blogger has decided to surprise me by loading all the pics in backwards. So we will start with the end of the month and work our way up.
Will had a very fun 8 minute concert. I actually love these, they are in person, they are short, I get to watch him play. But, he hates band, (not the saxophone--he still likes that) so my short concerts are coming to an end.
This is Amelia's last class in our Homeschool co-op. It's all about the states. I love it.
They get to have an entire day in the American Ninjas place.
Me, wearing Giselle's ridiculous sunglasses. Of all the silly trends my kids have ever done, these pit raptors are the worst.
Pretty scene. Giselle made that cutting board for me and I love it. It's so pretty and rustic.
Snowmageddon '21.
No one was really expecting feet and feet of snow here in Texas. But we got blasted. And lots of people lost power (we did not, I think because we were on the same grid as a fire station) but we did have our hot water lines freeze up. It was a super nutty time. School was cancelled (mine and public school kids) which was super nice and the snow and temps were just crazy wild. I felt like our food storage group was put to the test and it was a good test. I'm grateful we had plenty of firewood, alternate energy sources and space heaters. I had to heat water on the stove in my canning pot and wash dishes by hand since the dishwasher didn't work and that felt pretty pioneer-ish. I need to have more paper plates etc on hand because you don't want to do a lot of dishes if you can help it. It did seem like the crazy end of world times are happening. And having the kids leave snow gear by the doors and wet puddles everywhere reminded me why it's nice to not have snow.
I unboxed my wedding dress. It had been in a gigantic sealed box for 20+ years and I decided to open it up.
I had a birthday.
I went to the Richardson ISD book sale. I could spend HOURS there. $20 for a paper bag full.
Tyler took down the big loft and built some stealth lofts for Wyatt and Amelia. The room got a fresh coat of paint and it looks so good now. Of course the kids still prefer to sleep in our room, but whatever.
Amelia had a cute birthday turning 7 years old. She got roller skates and lots of doll puppy stuff.
Maddie's papers are in!
Will likes having his own room.
Our homeschool co-op has been great, but I will be glad to have my monday's back.
I have spent some SERIOUS time at the piano. I am in the thick of so much memorization.
I took this picture because I thought this is what homeschool kids can do. They can play in dirt in the middle of the day and that's what I want.
