Valentine Boxes
I've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day. It's nice, but always way overdone in my opinion. I never remember making Valentine boxes as a kid- either we didn't do it in NY or it never made a big impression, I don't know. Anyway, it's quite the tradition around here. I am always glad when the kids make their box or bag at school, which is sometimes the case. This year all 3, even our 4th grader, had to make a box at home. They were all excited and into doing it, thankfully, and now that they are older they can pretty much do it themselves. I had to take pictures because I thought each kid did a great job and suited them perfectly.

Birthday time again!!
We had a great weekend celebrating Elaina's 8th and Owen's 10th birthdays. What a blessing they both are to our family!!!
Firsts
Owen had some big firsts during his birthday month this year!
Robotics Final Competition- their team came in 27th place out of 65 teams. Great finish for a brand new, young team!! |
Owen was dubbed "Ring Man," appropriately for this contraption he built to make the robot move and place a ring- and it worked consistently for all 3 rounds! |
They had to research and present a project for this competition as well. Their team's choice was a very informative presentation on composting. |
We also enjoyed going to his first band concert. It was amazing to listen to how much these first year musicians accomplished in just 15 weeks! |
