A Few Things from February...so far

 For several years I had Valentine mailboxes that I put on the mantle each February. Those mailboxes got dented and bent and I got rid of them. But this year I saw Valentine mailboxes in the store and decided it was time to bring back the tradition. This time they are on the kitchen counter. Notes and candy were "mailed" to each other for the last couple weeks.

We watched the Superbowl and my parent's house. Most of the children watched the whole game this year. It was nice that we could spill over to a second TV. As it worked out the Eagles fans were watching separately from most of the Chiefs fans. The five teenagers in the room kept me quite entertained all evening!

Anna has guitar during "rainbow hour" when the sun is just right to hit all the prisms that her teacher has in her window. The rainbow on the neck of her guitar was perfect last week. Anna's most recent guitar accomplishment is learning to play "Plush."

More snow! This time it was wet and heavy and piled up on the tree branches. It was so pretty.

The boys made a snowman this time. This snow lasted just long enough for some evening activities to be cancelled.

I'm looking forward to using this new book for Lent devotionals. I've never had devotion reading specific for Lent and I'm looking forward to something new and walking through the book of John to Easter.

A friend sent me this last week and it sums up my teaching life right now. Except that this year it is Pre-Algebra. Anna is like me when it comes to math and so she and I are watching her math lessons together so that I can properly help her with her assignments. It's worth my time. Math has been going so much better for Anna.
