Fabulous February

When I hear February, I usually think of the coldest, grayest month of the year.  Not the case in 2017!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous for almost the entire month and the kids took full advantage of it.  Perfect sprinker-on-the-trampoline weather!

 

It was also pretty great for some ripstick battles with the garbage cans.

I have no idea where the kids came up with this one, but I laughed so hard when I looked out the window.  

We took a nice bike ride to the lake nearby and found a tiny little turtle friend.  Somehow I managed to say no to bringing this little guy home, as much fun as he would have been for a pet.

 Alex played his first scrimmage as a Phillie and his team looked pretty good.  He always loves to see a picture of himself crossing home plate :)

While Alex had a makeup piano lesson one perfect sunny day, Ben and I soaked up some sunshine and fed the ducks nearby.

This little guy was so precious!!

Ben is on the Yankees again and my favorite part of the season is the parent-kid scrimmage.  I faced off against these intimidating players and somehow I ended up playing 3rd base for the parents (harder than it looks!).  It was tons of fun...the kids took the early lead but the parents mounted a comeback and I got to score the winning run.  We celebrated with a team dinner at Cici's so everyone was a winner.
