Sarah sings her ABCs:

Blaine had an appointment one Monday morning and would have been late for school anyway, so he joined us for the class at the Rye Nature Center, instead.

He was much more into participating than Sarah.  He even showed off his knowledge of nocturnal animals.

I bought some generic Paw Patrol valentines at the Dollar Tree, but then both kids wanted to make their own so we ended up with an elaborate multi-day art project involving watercolors, stamps, and lots of stickers.

Another snowstorm, and another “snow panda”, though this one looks very polar-bear-ish.

The kids loved opening their valentines from their grandparents!

Sadly, Sarah only barely made it through her school Valentine’s Day party before getting really sick for the next few days.  Here she is conked out on the couch.

We got a new dustbuster.
