February Fun!

Even though February is the shortest month of the year, we have been having a lot of fun!  First, here are some of the boys' Valentine Day celebrations.... Zander celebrated his 100th day of school on Valentine's Day so he combined counting fun with this day of love.  I think he has his first little Valentine too..... check out the post it note he wrote all by himself for Mia!

One of my friends sent me this picture of Maddox on Valentine's Day.... as you can tell, he is all smiles! :)
 Zander is taking swim lessons every Tuesday and Thursday in February.  At first he was nervous but he has come so far!  He is jumping in at the deep end and swimming to the ladder all by himself.  He is also using a kick board or noodle to paddle/kick the length of the pool and back! He will put his head under and come up for breaths every few kicks or strokes!  We are hopeful that these lessons will give him the courage to try swimming more confidently over the summer.
It has been cold and rainy the entire month of February!  We have managed to go outside a few afternoons when the weather cooperates!  We love playing at our neighborhood playground or riding bikes!

Zack and I fit in our monthly date night!  It was very glamorous!  We ended it with a trip to Big Lots to buy new pillows for our beds!  This is real life! :)
 But first, I had this delicious margarita with dinner! ;)
Grammy came over throughout the month of February and added sweet notes for each of us.... showing us how much we are loved..... the first door is Maddox's, then Zander's and finally the parents! :) The boys and the adults loved this sweet surprise!


Linds and I ran 10 miles on a treadmill last weekend..... remember I said its been really wet!  So we opted for a sunnier mid-week run before Zander's swim lessons on Thursday!  We had our best time to date with an overall pace of 8:44 for the 8 miler we fit in!  I made it to swim lessons with 5 minutes to spare as well!  Thanks to Grammy for watching the boys and feeding them dinner.... I felt like super mom to fit it all in! Saturday morning I will get to sleep in too! Win Win!
 We've had spirit week all week at school.  We rocked pajamas, neon, dressed to impress, team jerseys and crazy hair!  The boys liked the crazy hair the best! I personally like the Mohawk and might have to do this look more often for the boys!
 Maybe not all fun in February, Maddox took a tumble at church last Sunday.  He busted his lip and gave himself some carpet burn on his nose.  He has been a trooper and it is healing nicely!  You can see a cute photo bomber in the back of the photo!;)
