February sun

I can't remember the last time we had so many beautiful days in February. I am totally loving this!! What a breath of fresh air! The snow has melted away. Yes, the grass is brown and the trees are bare, but I can remember again what warmth feels like! We have enjoyed it. Walks have returned for the time being as well as playing outside--hooray! The adults need the outdoor time as much as the little ones. That Vitamin D in the sun does a body good that's for sure. The warmth also will make our energy bill go down even if only a little.

Aliyah has less than a month left of first grade. She is reading like a pro and asks me if she can read to me. I often hear her reading her regular books to Keirah--that's cool! We are looking forward to long evenings outside and the start of our flower gardening & landscaping. I also haven't forgotten about Aliyah's little science project to finish up the year. She will be planting all of the seeds from my last year flower garden to see if we can get some nice little flowers going. Once they get established (hopefully), we will plant them outside. Her green thumb was great outside, so hopefully it will be inside as well.

I am looking forward to my additional cabinets coming in this week & next. Our countertop is in, however I have not seen it. Josh has seen it and says it looks great. I can't wait for him to install it all!! It will really help with more cabinet space.

We're also planning our other little projects for the spring. We are going to spruce up the landscaping and close in our breezeway making it into more of a 3 seasons room.

My kids are looking forward to V-day. Josh and I will celebrate another time I suppose since he works all weekend. I have some cute little things for the girls. Aliyah had fun making a few Valentine's at grandma's the other day and Keirah made us the cutest one at church. She is so proud of it and so are we!

If you have sun and warmth, get outside and enjoy it please!
