Friday Favorites: The Last Week of February

 We ended up having a great week with a teasing of  spring.  It was warm and sunny most days and we really tried to take advantage of that whenever we could.

It was still snowing when we woke on Friday.  The storm system had started Thursday afternoon around 1:30 and was forecasted to last until late Friday night.  

Needless to say Alec's school was all virtual with teachers working from home.  I know so many teachers and students are disappointed to lose their snow days but we are loving this set up and knowing that school will still end in early June! Alec made an origami crow for extra credit in World History and finished up his unit in Spanish with a test.

Ian had a hair cut mid-day and it was rather weird for us all that he was leaving, heading out to lunch, and then running errands afterwards.  Alec went sledding after school and I snuggled up to finish reading my latest book. 

The sun was shining when we got up on Saturday.  I made a get well card and then Alec and I headed to karate.  He got to spar for the first time in over a year.  

Saturday afternoon I went with my husband to his aunt and uncles house where he worked on their heat pump and I got to visit with his aunt. We always have the best time together.  Then I got ready for date night.

My husband and I headed to Texas Roadhouse and then did a quick run to BJ's on the way home.  

I spent the day on Sunday hanging out at home.  I put a roast in the crock pot and worked on getting all the laundry done.  In the afternoon my husband started cutting the boards for our butcher block countertop he's making.  

Once we were done cutting boards we went to pick up a grocery order from Stop & Shop and then prepared dinner together.  

Monday was a pretty quiet day at home with more snow in the forecast.  Ian headed out to work in the afternoon and our snow showed up as rain.  I snuggled up with comfy clothes and did lots of reading.

Ian headed off to work Tuesday morning and Alec and Evan settled down to work on their schooling.  As soon as lunch was over, Evan and I left Alec to his work and we set off on a hike.  It was a bit slushy since it was 40 degrees out and the snow was melting but it felt wonderful to hike with just a sweatshirt on!!  

It was another beautiful day on Wednesday.  As soon as lunch was over Evan and I went hiking once again.  We hiked for just over an hour.  

Alec was in the building for school on Thursday so after I dropped him off the other two boys and I got to work on their schooling.  Evan and I headed out for one last hour long hike before picking Alec up from school. 

Alec and Ian had dentist appointments and they both had a great cleaning.  Then we went home, had a quick meal and my husband and I set out grocery shopping yet again!.. sometimes I feel like I live at the grocery store.
