What Happened to February???

Seriously?  It's MARCH?  When did that happen?

I suppose we were busy doing things in February and not paying attention to dates.  February is a short month anyways...easy to miss.  :)

So what did we do?  Well....first, we played in the sun:

Ellery loved this tunnel!

Ahhhh.....to be so carefree :)

Swingin' in the sun!

So happy to be outside on this "winter" day

Then, we played in the snow:

Ooooo!  What sunny, snowy fun!

You have to pat the snow down properly
in order to make a good snowman.
All good snowman makers know that.

Two stacks high, almost done!

Ta-Da!  The finished product.

"Daddy, now I want a penguin."
I thought John was pretty ingenius to
come up with that design!
Daddy never disappoints his girl! :)

Snow-fun is such-fun!

Next, the girls had a "spendover" in Ellery's room:

And they both actually slept, believe it or not.

 In mid-February, PaPaw & Riri came to visit, and a riveting game of "steal Papaw's Sunglasses" ensued:

We also went swimming:

It doesn't matter how cold the water was, how much
her teeth were chattering, nor how purple her lips were,
she was gonna jump in that pool over and over!

And had a yummy Texas de Brazil dinner:

Best "what Ellery is thinking" quote wins a prize.

Dinner is soooooo funny! :)

There were lots of hugs:

I think everyone is enjoying this hug?  Can't be too sure, though.

And some bedtime stories:

All in all, it was a fun weekend :)

In between all those fun activities, we did the hum-drum day to day stuff -  like taking care of Illie Cat:

Ellery ADORES Illie.  Or, as she says "Hieee Yiyi!"
I'm not sure Illie adores Ellery quite as much.

Unloading the dishwasher:

Ellery L.O.V.E.S. the dishwasher.
If she hears it open, she's there,
usually unloading silverware!

Unpacking bags:

Ellery is SOOOOO helpful with these chores! :)

And, occasionally, took time to sit on the couch and watch TV:

All the other pictures in this "series" are of two Zombie kids
engrossed in what I hope was educational television :)

No WONDER February flew by ~ I guess we were a smidge busy :)  I'm sure March will slow down a bit......it's only March 1st, afterall.  (WHA?!?!?!?)
