Beautiful February

 February is a great month in Arizona!  We always have visitors in February.  The weather is beautiful.  And February is the month of my birthday.  This year was no exception - maybe even one of the best Februarys ever! 

Life is always fun with cute and creative little girls around. Usually Saturday lunches are pretty low key - leftovers or quesadillas and tomato soup or maybe fried rice.  A few weeks ago, I was not home in the morning and Fisher was busy in the yard, so he told the girls that they were in charge of lunch.  We sat down to plates set with dried mangos, chicken nuggets, granola bars, and bunny crackers.  They even remembered their fruits and veggies and washed some strawberries and even picked some lettuce from the garden.

 My parents visited early in the month.  We had them for a few short days before they headed to a sibling meeting in Gilbert with my dad's family.  We enjoyed a visit to the Desert Botanical Garden.  The garden was really interesting and I learned a lot about plants in AZ.   We also enjoyed some quality playing time at home and outside in the lovely weather.

Stories with Grandma

Tickle time with Grandpa

Lou roaring in Grandpa's face.

 We love Lou's preschool teacher this year and this is just one of the many cute learning crafts they have completed.  Lou is sporting her anatomy with a brain hat and a vest displaying her inner workings.  The day I took this picture, the poor girl had a yucky cold that left her face puffy and nose raw.

 I think our girls would be happy if the only toy in our house was the box of dress-ups!
