All of February in one post

I'm in catch up mode so here's the rest of our February in one post. 
There will probably be more pictures than words !

Our first significant snow fall and school snow day finally happened in early February.  The girls hung out at Aunt Kristy's so I could go in to work.  They had fun in the snow with Tatum.


My sweet little valentines on Valentine's day


Maura helped me take Blitz to his vet appointment and they were a hit again!
Always the social media stars.

My sister and I took the girls to the circus,
since this is the last opportunity we would have to take them.
Maura was interviewed by the local radio station just before we headed into the arena.

 






Tatum had her 3rd birthday party at an indoor bouncy house place.
 
Even Aidan came along,
since he is really running out of things to do with all of his free time ever since breaking his arm.

Audra and grandma

I took Maura to the dance show at the high school I attended.
When I was in high school I was part of a group of girls who started up a dance club with the help of the woman who choreographed for the drama club.
And now 25 years later {gasp!!} it's still up and running!
 
 
 The high school's Facebook page featured a picture
of our original group in 1993 and this year's group. 
I'm standing in the back on the far left side and my dear friend
(Maura's dance studio owner) is right next to me :)
They also posted a picture of the Dance Club's yearbook page from that very first year.
That's me in the bottom picture on the right side.
 
 
All these years later they are still using the same shadow box display case near the gymnasium to feature the dance show and each of the dancers.


Aidan's arm is slooooowly healing. 
It's getting there, but not fast enough for him (or me!)
This kid needs to be active. 
He doesn't know what to do with himself when he can't run, jump, skate, etc.

At least he graduated to a half cast after 6 weeks in a full arm cast.
Time to start stretching out that elbow.

It was a busy month but these two managed to squeeze in a nap or two here and there !

Maura's Party

Yes, it's February...but we are just now getting around to having Maura's birthday party with friends.
Even with Aidan sidelined due to a broken arm our weekends still seem quite full.
 
 
She wanted to have her party at an indoor trampoline park.
And it was sure fun, and exhausting!
It takes a lot of energy to bounce and jump for an hour straight.
 
 
 
 Audra loved the foam pit.



 It sure was a workout for me moving around in that foam pit,
and even more so trying to get out of it!
 

 After an hour of bouncing it was time for pizza and cake.
 

 
The birthday girl lost a tooth during her party ?!
 
After cake it was time for aracade games...
