Low key month before the birthday gauntlet

 Things have been fairly calm around here, nothing crazy to report.  Just normal days of school, evenings of karate and homework, and weekends of gaming and other fun.  The older two have been getting along a lot better lately, it's been nice!
 Recent Sam masterpiece, The Lorax.  Looks like he got some of daddy's drawing genes!
 Brother's forever!  Cue heart melting now...

 We had a fun Star Wars/February birthday celebration with the Worsts and Kelly and Ginger a couple weeks ago, so fun!
 Noah has been very much into creating presentations using google slides lately.  He prepared a talk about pugs for the group.  He had a very attentive audience!
 I "pinned for the win" with a rainbow jello creation.  Ginger said it was the most "gayest midwestern creation ever!"
 You say you want a photo with all the kids? Yea, good luck with that!


 Yay for high school friendships that span into the next gen!
 Valentine's Day was very red indeed!
 We had a Friday off school and took advantage of the Field Museum free IL resident day!
 Noah requested some oobleck (cornstarch and water), which Dr. Mike was happy to whip up!
 We suffered through some yucky stomach bug.  Sam had the worst of it and was home for two days.
 But after a couple of days rest, he was good as new and equipped with some new slippers!
 Cold days require warm blankets!
 Waterbury did their Jump Rope for Heart and Sam rebounded from his illness and won the title for his class and was able to represent at the all school assembly!  Way to go Sam!

 Another Friday off (institute day), another jammie day with playdough!
 I was able to sneak away for a gals weekend with Michelle and Andrea, we had a great time!
 Isaac had trouble keeping up with the boys weekend while I was away!
 And Noah has been working hard in Karate sparring class lately, so proud of him!
So, that's what we've been up to lately.  Now, we head into the gauntlet of March birthdays.  Much fun to come!
