Marching into February

So far February has been a great month.  We've continued with basket ball, had valentines day parties, 1 field trip and started swimming lessons.  I chaperoned Dane's 1st grade class to the Science Center.  Here they are walking in.....

I was paired with 4 kids...they were so well-behaved and curious about everything.  I love it:)

Posing by the planets....

 Catching speeding cars with the radar guns....

 The class picture with the dinosaurs.....

We have had some beautiful "winter" days and on President's day we took complete advantage of it.  We bundled up and went for a bike ride.

Then we jumped on the trampoline....look they're dressed alike...their idea

 And then we had a picnic with our neighbor

 While we were sitting there we noticed our BullsEye was resting in the sun too...but not for long, our dogs were going to check her out.... 

 After our picnic they went for a walk in the creek. 

 Swimming lessons started.  Here they are anxiously waiting for their instructors.

 Drake kicking and taking breaths....

We finally made it to the Penquin march at the Zoo.  It was cute, and they made all kinds of little noises as they walked by.  It was such a nice day and we spent the rest of the day there.  Again, not the typical Missouri winter weather in February.

 The night before Valentine's day Dane snuck into our bathroom and hung a card for us to see in the morning.  He used his floss to hang it.  Trouble was I had to move it to get into the bathroom closet, but it's just like him to be so caring.

What's up next you ask?  I have no idea:)  I'm kind of training for the 1/2 marathon and Andy is in full training mode.  He's got Dane (and Drake depending on the day) training for the Ironkids competition this summer.  Dane is motivated....he rides his bike and then gets off of it and will run around to "train".  I have a feeling if he did the competition tomorrow, he would do fine.  I think Andy would as well, but he's not so confident.
