All 3!!

Just some photos, I can't keep up!

I am no longer even going to try to pay homage to the idea of getting a photo a day up here, I  can't do it, I frankly don't want to.  I am taking part in a photography challenge this month, so there might be more material than there has been the last month or so.  But I know there are some who rely on this blogs for updates, so here's a few:

Tonight after dinner, the family went on a little walk around the block!

 Or, in Number 1 and 2's case--a scoot around the block!

 Number 2 is SOOOOOO photogenic sometimes!!

 Number 1 thought that this puddle looked like a beautiful pond with lily pads...I took a pic to appease her, not expecting to like it at all when downloaded--but I did.

 My photography challenge issued this: "Clouds" a couple of days ago when there obviously not a cloud to be had--but had it been today's challenge, I would have been able to submit this, which I like!

 Yesterday's challenge?  Something green! This was easy since it was Red Sox Home opening day (they lost, but who cares--that's actually a good sign this early in the season!) Number 1 offered to model the Green Monster hat!

 Finally able to play outside, although the snow melt is not all gone yet!

 Number 3, Number 2 and friend made me some delicious slush soup on Thursday...yummmmmmmy!!!

February 18th--Day 49--A Little Respite

What can be better than a little Wreck-it Ralph on this early release day? How about a snuggle?!
I will take it.  The joy in everything--even a movie!

February 17th--Day 48--Another Day, Another Party

So since there was no school on Friday, Valentine's Day (as far as the school was concerned) was celebrated today.  Number 2 took great care to include Number 3 in her class' activities.  I was so proud of her!  I am not sure how to teach empathy, I just really hope it sticks with all of my children.  The grace in putting others' comforts and well-being first is crucial.

Number 2 and one of the friends she talks about all the time!

February 16th--Day 47--Celebrating Others

Number 1 and 2 got to go to another birthday party today!

When you are young it is so easy to celebrate others.  You get cake and/or ice cream, some fun games and maybe even a small parting gift.  As we get older, it is perhaps not as clear but even more important that we take the time to celebrate the ones we love, for them, but also for us!

February 15th--Day 46--Birthday Party

First, a family picture to remember the Grace for the month--the fun in each moment, it might not mean much to me--but who knows what they remember!  Make it all count!

Also today was Number 3's birthday party.  He had so much fun with his little friends.  Here's he and his little buddy Andrew!

And here are a few other shots from the birthday!

He had a great time, and that's all that matters!

February 14th--Day 45--Superhero

We are all superheroes, to someone!
