Simple Things in February

Love notes from Anna on my pillow



A House I really really really love on my way to my school each day



All A's (hard working, concienctious, hard working, a pleasure to have in class)



These are all down now but I love Valentine decorations.



Looking forward to reading to my girls. Some of these will have to wait for a while.



She loves Sophie Mouse chapter books



Bathtime... even though she's eight, play is fun. And good.



Little things on her desk



Shopping with mommy after church one Sunday in February





Snoooooow



We didn't have enough this year. Of course that means that we're getting out crazy early for Connecticut... June 10th. But I sure love days like these.





Valentine-ish





More bathtime fun



Morning sky





Sweetest library book ever



Hearts, buttons, lace... Valentines day must be close





Abigail started reading Fourth Grade Fairies and found this note to Anna in the book from Anna's 4th grade teacher, three years ago.



Love baking, and I love baking



Mass



New dishcloths



Homemade jam from Illinois friends.



Best part of the day



Oh this... from a little boy at my school... I'll never ever forget this one. Those kids make me remember every single day that there is still a teeny tiny piece of my heart saved and reserved all those years for teaching.



Coolest bath toy ever... wash away dirty clothes.







French Toast Friday



In February swimming lessons started up again



Floating is terrifying



The Christmas American Girl return finally came





Me, at pick up



4:00 tea



A good mail day



Abigail has gotten quite serious about Irish Dance this year.



All of the green is out





The 'Great Chapter Book Project' (more coming on another post)



The entryway... EB White love
