To the extent anyone is still checking in, I thought I'd try to catch up on February and March before all the fun of April gets underway. Those two months totally snuck away from me, but not without some fun, frolic and photo-making opportunities.
The kids were supposed to both be out of school for the Friday and Monday of President's Day weekend. But, due to Snowpocolypse(s), both ended up with snow make-up days. On different days, of course. It actually ended up working well, because I got to spend a quality day with each of the kids doing what he or she wanted to do. Evan's day off was the Friday, and with perfect weather on the horizon, we decided to go golfing. Keep in mind, this was the first time I'd been golfing since before I got pregnant with Evan, so my expectations for myself were fairly low. My long game far exceeded my expectations and my short game fell well short. But Evan had a good time, so that was all that mattered. We even had time for lunch at the golf club terrace before heading out to pick Pressley up from school.
Pressley's day with mommy was the following Monday and she chose to get pedicures and go to the mall. She's not even 5. The weather had turned considerably more February-like by then, so I was just happy she chose indoor activities. Here she is getting her pedicure. So cute.
During the intervening weekend, we headed up to the lake to spend some time with Lynn and Tut. Saturday was absolutely delightful, so the kids got to fish, "swim" in the hot tub, collect shells and rocks, and other outdoor fun stuff. We could not have asked for a better day there in February. It was a total surprise gift. Sunday was cold, but Pressley was undeterred. She got up Sunday morning and put her bathing suit back on and could not be coaxed into appropriate clothing. So, we made her wear her coat over her bathing suit to go down to the dock. She's a hoot.
Finally, at some point in February, Evan earned his first purple stripe to go on his yellow belt. He is still thoroughly enjoying karate and moving on up the ranks. It is so much fun to see how much he's learned.
By now we've moved to spring sports. Pressley is playing soccer and Evan is playing baseball. So, my next post will undoubtedly feature updates regarding their sporting accomplishments. For now, I'll just leave you with this tease... You have never seen a cuter child in a baseball uniform and baseball cap than my sweet Evan. He is a living doll. And he's doing pretty well actually playing too!
