January Part 2

I'm not sure why I chose a day when the kids were home to wash the couch cushion covers but Mia sure enjoyed it. Emma woke up and saw Toby in a huge pile of fluff and panicked for a second thinking he had destroyed her giant stuffed sloth. 

 

We finally got some snow, about 2 inches. It didn't last long but the girls had some fun with our new penguin and snowman molds.

When you have to go to the doctors for your yearly check up you get rewarded with a lunch date with Mom.

Jan. 28th - Mia's friend Lydia invited all of us to her birthday party at Classic Skating. My kids were in heaven. They hadn't done anything fun in a few weeks and really needed the exercise so I said yes. They rode scooters, jumped on bouncy houses, went down a gigantic slide and shot nerf balls and laxer guns at each other. We were having so much fun that we stayed and had our zoom parent teacher conferences in the car instead of heading home and doing it (still over zoom). Everyone slept well that night.

Sunday the 30th was the Young Women's New Beginnings. They had a very short program, treats and then the girls got to light and release Chinese Lanterns. The theme for the youth for the year is "A Great Work" so they are going to light the world with a great work.

 

We needed to warm up later and there is nothing better than reading a book by the fire.
