It was still cold in February. The whole family went to the February walk at the Little Red Schoolhouse, but Charlotte and I headed back early to hang out in the nature center.
They had a really cool igloo in there that was built entirely out of milk jugs
Wyatt had to bring along his school pet, Fluffy, for the hike. He was in charge of caring for him that weekend and we had to write about what they did together. Kind of like the Curious George project that Noah did in Kindergarten, except this was a huge plastic duck that we had to lug around.
Here was our entry into the journal.
We forgot to take Fluffy sledding, but that's for the best. It was too cold for sledding and we didn't stay long.
Wyatt and Nick Sledding:
Noah didn't mind the cold and had a great time sledding by himself.

Charlotte was a little miffed about it.
But she did enjoy one thing: pushing Daddy and Wyatt down the hill.
It was also Wyatt's About Me week at school. Here is the poster that we made. He drew the pictures.
Charlotte had a school project too. She had to decorate this heart.
I bought Wyatt a shark tooth t-shirt and he discovered that his Megalodon tooth actually measured up to the Chubutensis tooth. Grandpa explained that the existence of the Chubutensis is questionable and so it's probably a Megolodon tooth pictured.
While waiting at a stop light I noticed that a disgruntled fourth grader had hurled his recorder out his car window. And I also realized that means we are only two years from having a recorder in our house.
We love to eat at Mindy's and the kids love to watch the gamblers.
The kids went to a Valentine cookie decorating class at the neighboring park district. It was a great bargain compared to how much it costs the kids to decorate cookies at the culinary school.
The boys and I joined some friends and went on an Owl Prowl. It was cold, we didn't see any owls, the fire wasn't nearly warm enough, and we had to stir our hot chocolates with our fingers, but it was an interesting experience.
