They really are, things are going okay. February flew by in a flurry...and I mean literally. Spring break crept up on us faster than ever. Somedays it feels as if we are just going through the motions of everyday life. It's been quite ordinary around here. But sticking with my word of the year, beauty, I have had to remind myself there is beauty, even in the ordinary day to day.
~~February
We hit the courts a few times this month. This random Monday night just the boys wanted to play. It's a rarity to get to spend time alone with these two. I loved it!
Valentine's day always turns out to be a nice day at school for me (although it was actually Feb, 12th that we observed it). It's so sweet how my students like to share their love and make us feel special as teachers.
By the morning...I couldn't believe my eyes!
Delilah the dog LOVED the snow!
It was a super lazy week...lots of sleep and snuggles.
Alejandro, Savannah's boyfriend stayed with us since he had no electricity at his house. We helped him start off his birthday.
It also snowed all day Thursday...We had an entire snow week off from school. Something I would have never guess would have happened here in Texas.
And it was gone by Friday...
I had a return to the theater this month. I helped with a skit for our school's dedication, which included me starring as myself in the skit! It was fun, but surprisingly hard work filming.
Jonas and I had a solo outing to Eisenhower Park, which I loved. It's really special to get to spend one on one time with each kid. This week I managed an outing of some kind, with each of the kids by themselves.
Poor Savannah didn't have Spring break this week. Hers is next week. But she made the most of it by studying while we went for a walk.
The week evolved into crazy journey. Many homes and families were without electricity. We were lucky to keep our electricity going the whole week, but we did lose water by Tuesday. Luckily our outside hose still worked! We got creative for sure.
We celebrated my parents birthday with a get together, after my dad's birthday dinner was cancelled due to the snow storm. We celebrated them both on my mom's actual birthday, February 22.
We had a girls night out to celebrate Nana on her own.

An early Spring break was welcomed after the fast and "flurrious" pace of February. It's been a mellow week, which I have mixed feelings about. I wish I could relax and realize it doesn't have to be packed with activities and outings to be a great break.
Food, friends and the outdoors are activities that always put smiles on our faces.
Nana likes to join in on our shenanigans. It was great to get to have all four kids together for the last day of our Spring Break.
Daylight Savings begins tonight and Spring is just around the corner. Bailey is moving out this month and Savannah will be moving in August to Austin. Big changes are coming and I am savoring every moment I can.
Happy early Spring from the Boyen Bunch!
