Recent Happenings

Seems like we've been pretty busy lately, though I'm not really sure what we've accomplished. Here are some pictures from our last few days. Henry had a whole week of 'spirit' days. Tuesday was "tie or tie-dye day." He wore Pete's Peanuts tie to school and Pete took this sassy picture.

 

 Yesterday was cold as all get out. We had, fortunately, made some fun indoor plans with friends we hadn't seen in a long time. We met Keri and Sue and their cutie-pie Noah out for bowling. It was a party with the "cosmic" lights on.

 

Clara chose a very special outfit for the occasion, layering several looks. When it wasn't her turn to bowl, she mostly seemed to enjoy lying on the floor and rolling the ball around. It probably didn't help that it was 1:30 and she's usually in bed for a nap at that time.

 Today was a quieter day. Pancakes for breakfast, then the kids went with me to school for a little bit to take care of some things, while Pete ran other errands. Then we all met up at Potbelly for lunch. After naps for all we worked on the kids' Valentines. We made superhero Tootsie-Roll pops with the message "you're a super friend!" I found the idea online and, aside from cutting out all the masks, they were easy to make.

 Tonight was spaghetti for dinner and baths, not necessarily in that order, and then a bit of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory before bed. Hopefully Clara will settle down enough that Pete and I can enjoy watching a bit of the Grammys. Here's our spunky little girl in the tub:
