Because I love my husband, I am watching his show with him right now. Or, rather, I haven't disappeared to our bedroom to get away from it. I'm giving it 10 minutes before I give up. Tick tock.

After yesterday's beautiful snow, the temperatures rose enough to create a lovely, misty fog. It cloaked the bluff line in a blanket of blue and remained that way most of the day. I would have much rather spent the day curled up next to our fireplace with a hot cup of coffee, a good book, and an episode of five of Fixer Upper on in the background, but the best I could do was grab a picture of the sky from the webcam at my desk.

Yesterday's beautiful fog gave way to a beautiful sunrise this morning, and I was so glad I grabbed my camera before heading out the door.

Tonight was our library night, where Ellie built a Mouse House (see the ears?) and posed proudly next to it for a picture.

Elaina's been working on tying her shoes this week, since her teacher instituted what she refers to as the "Shoe Tying Club," where the kids have to practice tying shoes instead of going to their desired centers. Motivated to break out of the club, Elaina's been working diligently to learn. She came off the bus today so excited because she had successfully tied her shoes twice (three being the magic "get out of the club" number) and set out to teach Ellie how to do it, too.

Today was the start of what turned out to be a lovely, lovely weekend. First, Ellie had her 6-month check up at the dentist, and good news, no cavities!

After work, we came home to the great news that Elaina had made it out of the Shoe Tying Club (glory, hallelujah), and it was so nice the girls got to play outside before dinner.
I threw open the windows and breathed in the hint of spring. Winter can't be over fast enough.
Today was really quite perfect.
It started with a trip to Pearce, where Josh and the girls went for a swim while I exercised elsewhere.
After lunch, we relaxed for a bit before heading out for some shopping. Elaina decided to help Ellie tie her shoes before we left.
We went to Costco, Target, and Kroger and drove with our windows down. I couldn't believe the temperature--66 degrees in February. It was amazing.
So amazing, that we went to the park. In February. Even though half the town was there, too, the girls had a wonderful time.

We came home, grilled out, and closed the book on a wonderful spring-ish day.
This morning, Elaina had a birthday party for one of her pre-school-turned-kindergarten friends, so Josh and I took Ellie out and about to help her feel special, too. We got them Happy Meals for lunch and after some relaxing, went outside where Josh cleaned up some shrubbery and burned some of it back, in the hopes of preventing another bout of powdery mildew and scaring back some of the rabbit population. Here's hoping!
