Cienna's 9th Birthday party on her actual birthday set the month off to a great start! Everyone had a great time enjoying leisure sports up the wazoo. The minimal rain that we get down here subsided just long enough for the party. During the following week, Cienna got her first bee sting during P.E. at school. She handled it like a trooper, just wanting to get back to class. Mommy was helping in Kaylee's class and was there to help since the school nurse was out for the day. Cienna also got her PTA Reflections project awarded as it has advanced to the next round again this year.
Then began Girl Scout cookie season. We helped pick up the first load from the warehouse and haven't stopped selling yet. Door to door, cookie booths, etc. The girls are enjoying the business aspect and engaging in conversation with neighbors. Cienna's Troop had a cookie kick off party and Daddy took Kaylee to go bowling and hit up the arcade. That evening they girls made friends with a snail and we made Strawberry Shortcake that Porter ended up finishing the following week since it was left on the counter.
We finally had a tiny bit of time to fit in an open gym, like we don't get enough gymnastics. That evening after Mommy and Daddy put the girls to bed they had a good neighbor Sara come over to stay at the house while they went an enjoyed an evening to celebrate Kristen's 39th Birthday. It was a great time and good company.
We had plenty of play dates as usual including an extra special one with Vera who came to hang out for a few days because she's awesome! We were all excited to spend time with her. Mommy and Vera took a lot of time exploring Long Beach and Vera introduced Mommy to a massage place that is quite amazing. Mommy and Kaylee took Vera to Joe Jost's for her first pickled egg!
Uncle Joe's 40th Birthday party was a great reason for a quick trip to San Diego to hang out with the Sklenicka's and enjoy Helix brewing company. The girls also found that a brewery is a great place to sell more girl scout cookies.
Lincoln's B-Day was a day off of school for the girls, but not for Mommy and Daddy so they had a special day with friends. They got to go to a movie theater to see Lego Batman and learned how to make slime from Mia.
We enjoyed making cards for each other for Valentines Day and truly loved the half of a day storm that came through to end the month. It's pretty fun to see weather when you don't get it too often. Mommy and Daddy played in the down pour while moving a fallen tree off of the trampoline in the backyard.
As mentioned, Cienna was a trooper through her first bee sting, and is excited that her reflections project is again going to the district level. Now that she's nine things have changed dramatically... not really. She is still just as amazing and we couldn't be more proud.
Kaylee on the other hand.... just kidding. She really has grown this month. She's trying her hardest to respect her teacher and not laugh every time her classmates try to joke around. She keeps advancing with reading, but still enjoys math a bit more. The snail friend gave her some new perspective on "cute" animals. The very last day of the month Kaylee made her last gymnastics skill that she needs to complete all her level 3 routines, the front hip circle.
Enjoy the photos!
