Scenes from February

Apparently, I took an abundance of pictures in February. I even excluded some to do in a separate post because I didn't want this to be too long. February was a great month. I really focused on getting organized, which helped me a ton (these past couple weeks I have been struggling with organization and really struggling just getting the everyday tasks done, but thankfully it's the weekend and I can start fresh on Monday). We saw the first signs of spring this month with lots of trees and plants blooming. Springtime in Seattle is a beautiful sight.

We drove 30 min to the nearest Chick-Fil-A at the beginning of the month for a family date. Even though there wasn't a play area, the girls were excited for the ice cream cones.

I've been loving snapping pictures of my girls sleeping lately. I've also been trying to really celebrate how for we've come in our bedtime routine. Bedtime used to be awful around here and now it's super smooth.

We don't do a lot of TV watching over here so when the TV is on, it's a big deal. Maxwell LOVED watching the Superbowl and cheering for the Broncos (he did spend the first 2.5weeks of his life in CO). : )

We had our first beach day of the year and it was so wonderful. 

Maxwell became quite the artist this month. He loves doing art while his sisters are crafting/learning at the table.

Naomi loves gathering. She found these rocks in the backyard. EEK!

Mia and I hosted a Valentines Day Brunch while Joe and Naomi were in AZ. It was fun to have some special time with our friends.

I think Maxwell was mad that nobody his age came over.

We started learning trays this month, which has helped keep me with planning educational activities for the girls.

And, we love dramatic play so we set up our very own Animal Hospital.

We also hosted a play date for our Preschool. It was summertime themed for all of us that didn't go somewhere tropical over the mid-winter break.

Maxwell got to try his first Popsicle.

We renewed our Children's Museum membership.

It's so fun watching Maxwell play along with his sisters.

Sometimes we get pizza in the food court above the Children's Museum after we're done playing.

The kids found the Halloween costumes and had a ton of fun dressing up. We were all laughing at how serious Max was as he wore the costumes.

Naomi had a great month at school. These are some pictures from her teacher.

Spring is in the air...

My favorite thing about these posts are recapping everything from the month. Some days feel like survival mode, but seeing all of these pictures makes my heart burst with joy.
