February 2013 in Pictures…In One Long Post!
February 1st, I received this note as part of a Thank You card from Ian for showing up at Doughnuts with Dad. You are so welcome, kiddo. See this image larger.
February 2nd, Nina makes her unforgettable fruit-vegetable-pizza-Lego-rubber ball salad. See this image larger.
February 3rd, Mommy left for sunny Texas, leaving us to huddle with each other in the cold… Just kidding, we did alright! (Mommy, I’m noticing a pattern of warm-weather work trips in the winter. Just sayin’ 😉 ) See this image larger.
That night, we went to Cinco De Mayo as usual. See this image larger.
I believe this was the trip where Nina needed to go potty, so I took her to the men’s room with Ian. While Ian stood there, Nina sat in a stall. I remember washing my hands, hearing Nina say “oops” and watching a roll of toilet paper coast out from under the stall, behind my ankles, unravelling as it went. See this image larger.
That night, the kitty knew he’d find peace on Mommy’s side of the bed, so he snuggled up on her blanket… or maybe he just missed her already, who knows. See this image larger.
February 4th, and because it is hard to cook with the two kids, we tend to eat out while Mommy’s away. Thus, Panera and an M&M cookie! See this image larger.
February 8th. Snow. Also, can’t wait to share a video of Nina making pancakes that happened on this day. Remind me! See this image larger.
February 10th, and these smiles can mean only one thing… Mommy’s home! See this image larger.
Celebratory smooch on the forehead! See this image larger.
February 12th, the kids in Ian’s class had already been in school for 100 days! Where does the time go? It doesn’t matter, I just know it goes very quick. See this image larger.
February 14th, the kids show us some heart from Kindergarten! See this image larger.
Olga’s! See this image larger.
Lightsabers from Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia! See this image larger.
Uh oh there’s two… THIS one works… See this image larger.
THAT one works… See this image larger.
Hey, they BOTH work! MORTAL COMBAT!!! See this image larger.
IAN!!!! Don’t you know that if you strike her down now she will only come back more powerful than you can possibly imagine? (Don’t worry folks, everybody’s fine here, just a trick of the angle. 😉 ) See this image larger.
February 15th, Nina stood on her soap box and read this book to us, by which I mean, she made up a phrase and repeated it for pretty much every page. “Her did it to her did it, and her did it to her did it.” What do you expect people, she’s THREE. Geez!See this image larger.
Look at that cute pony tail! See this image larger.
Hiya Peanut! See this image larger.
So cute! Yeah, sure you can watch the TV. See this image larger.
It’s always so good to look across the table and see both girls. 🙂 See this image larger.
February 25th, Ian took a rare nap after a full day of play. Sometimes when I look at him, I can picture the baby Ian. Usually when he’s sleeping like this. See this image larger.
Nina watching the iPad in the sunroom. Yes, they probably seem to be on the iPads a lot. And they are. But just not as much as you think they are; this is the only time they hold still for a picture!! See this image larger.
February 26th, the Valentine’s season has Ian feeling generous… this is a note for his sister! It says “I hoPE you had a gud dey at school love Ian.” (I hope you had a good day at school. Love, Ian.) See this image larger.
