February Fun!

I hope everyone had a super fun Valentine's Day!! We did. Mike got to stay home from work Friday as a surprise. He's been working extremely long hours so it was nice to see him for more than a few minutes before bed time. We went to Autumn's Valentine's Day party and I totally have photos of that but they are on my camera downstairs and I'm too lazy to go get it! But, we did some other things, too. Like the dentist. Autumn has gone from being absolutely terrified of everything about the dentist to looking forward to her visits.

It helps that she and her friends can slide on the chair.

We also made Valentines for Autumn's class. I got the kiwi crate valentine kit for her. We also thought about Doc McStuffins or Lalaloopsy Valentines but decided that she likes crafts so much that it was worth doing. I love what she did. She did the pop ups and then wrote a special note to all of her friends. SO SWEET.

I don't remember if I've mentioned this but Autumn is in a new ballet class. It's great because she's one of the younger kids so it's a challenge for her. It's been going well. Even better? It's during one of the aikido classes I teach. So, She hangs out for a little while, goes to ballet, changes into pajamas, and then I'm done and we go home! Soooo convenient. We didn't do swim team this semester because the timing was just too hard on our schedule as a family. With Mike's work going crazy, it turned out well because he can't take Autumn to swim on Tuesdays anymore. We'll probably do some swim lessons this summer and then see if Autumn wants to try out for the swim team rather than doing the Lil' Gators. I guess it's going to depend on how into ballet she gets. Anyway, this is Autumn waiting on me SO PATIENTLY (not) while I talked to some students, hahaha.

Oh, some of you might have seen this but here's something funny...a failed project. I made these fun yarn balls to put in some vases for a shower I'm giving next month. Well. Only one turned out. It was suuuuper messy so I haven't decided if it's worth doing again!

Here's your monthly Molly report. She's doing fine. She even survived the onslaught of teenagers determined to pet her!

Until next week! I might even have a video of Autumn belting out Let It Go from Frozen!!
