Valentines Love & other Gushy stuff
Wow! I can’t believe that
2013 is almost half way over. I swear we were just ringing in the New
Year!!! We have been super busy this
year. I have purchased my own domain and
created my own website. My long term
goal is to no longer use Blogspot and only post on my own website so that I
100% own my own content. Feel free to
check it out. (leahsipress.com) However, it is more difficult and costly then
it appears upfront and I’m still learning how to fully function and operate all
the features. So I am going to continue
to use this website. I feel behind on
our family’s digital scrapbook so here is a really long post to cover how we
enjoyed February and March.
In January, after many bike
riding lessons, here and there, Issac finally mastered riding his bike, and
stopping his bike. The first weekend of
February we got a visit from Grandma Laura & Grandpa Mark. We spent the afternoon outside in the
sunshine watching Issac show off his bike riding skills. I made a nice roast
for dinner and Laura brought dessert.
In Seattle, every first
Thursday the museums are free from 5pm-close.
So on February 8th we meet up with Grandpa Brad or Issac
calls him “Grandpa Dad” at museum of flight.
Although Issac enjoyed spending time with his Grandpa and seeing all the
airplanes; it was kind of a rough time of day for such an exciting activity and
we had a break down….. or two before heading home. Honestly, the kids do best at activities
between 10a-4pm.
For Valentine’s Day, we did multiple
crafts at home, and attended the Valentine’s Celebration at the Zoo, did some cookie
decorating, and held a photo booth session.
I love how excited the kids do for each activity we plan. I enjoy seeing
Issac clinch his fists with excitement. On Valentine’s Day morning the kids
awoke to a bag of gifts attached to a balloon.
I sewed each of them a pair of pajamas and a tote bad, we added
chocolates and books to each bag.
We had purchased a living
social deal for the Imagine Children’s museum on Bainbridge Island. So on March 3rd we packed up and
took the ferry for a day trip to Bainbridge Island. The kids loved it. Besides the children’s
museum, we walked around town, had hot chocolate, found a park to enjoy and
then paid a trip to the waterfront before heading home.
For Saint Patrick’s Day we
had planned a Roaring 20’s themed party.
Honestly, the theme was my best friend’s idea and everyone seemed on
board until the last minute. So instead
of having a party with only a quarter of the guests in costume, we just had a
St Patty’s Day party. This was a bumer
because I sewed myself a fabulous flapper dress. It was a fun time, although I got a little
cranky because there were just too many kids in too many age groups and only
one TV. We built our own photo booth and
that was fun for the kids and adults alike.
I hung a black flat sheet against the wall and Diane & I purchased
different props from a variety of stores.
The day after our party, we
took the kids to the Rainforest Café with the Wagester family. It had been almost a year since we had last
gone and we thought it would be a nice treat for the kids. We went at opening so the place was empty and
our kids were free to enjoy all the mechanical animals.
