Week in Review

On Sunday, we went to Jenn and Jeff's for the Super Bowl. It was nice to hang out and watch the Los Angeles Rams win the championship, in their home stadium, no less.

Along with watching the game, the kids played baseball in the pitching/batting cage, and swam, since it was one of our crazy February heat waves. In the pic here, Cora is pitching to Violet.
Monday was Valentine's Day, and Stace arranged with my sister to have this beautiful arrangement for me.
I was so excited on Monday to be able to help with a Valentine's party in Violet's class. Volunteering in class hasn't happened for me since 4th grade. Besides Covid, this year Violet's teacher just doesn't ask for help on those party occasions when it would be normal to have helpers.

Anyway, the children were painting, and that takes a lot of set up - each child needed a palette of paint, three brushes of various sizes, water cups, etc. 
Sandy, a friend who I've been co-room mom with four different years, and I enjoyed catching up while we set up the art project.
Violet's lovely ombre blue background ready for flowers... I didn't see the finished product, but Violet tells me they're all on the classroom walls.
Other art on the walls included this Van Gogh lesson - this was Violet's.
Here's what you get when you take a photo with this crazy girl!
 
Valentine's pancakes for dinner!

Also this week, Cora went to her Winter Formal high school dance. Doesn't she look absolutely lovely?
