Tire Swing

Brooke has asked for a swing in our yard on and off for a little while now, so today while she was at school Alex and I went and got a tire from a local tire shop (you’d be amazed at how many tire shops won’t give you an old tire they are going to throw out and are actually paying a company to take off their hands).  Then we went and got the hardware and while Alex was at a play date I cleaned, drilled and assembled them a tire swing.  Brooke and Alex were both very excited when they came home and saw it.

Brooke’s April Family Homework

This month Brooke had to make a flower for her ‘Kinder-Garden’ at school.  AJ helped Brooke make this beautiful flower!

Brooke Tap/Ballet Watch Day

Brooke had a parent watch day today at her tap/ballet class.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Alex’s bear is done hibernating today and so they had a teddy bear picnic at school.  AJ was lucky to be off and able to join Alex for his picnic.  They had a wonderful time!

Valentine’s Day

We all had a wonderful Valentine’s day!  We bought the kiddos cute valentines animals for them with their cards, which they loved.  Both of them hand made their valentines for their classmates. AJ sent me a bouquet of beautiful flowers!  After school the kids and I had fun playing outside with bubbles.  When AJ got home from work we went out to dinner.  Since we started dating we have gone out to dinner on Valentine’s every year except his Intern year of residency because he was on shift.  This is our 15th valentines but 14th year enjoying valentines dinner!  We enjoy our little tradition.
