The month of love. This month Maggie got a makeover...a new short do. And she loves it. We celebrated Valentine's day and Mommy's birthday. Both occasions meant we had an excuse to eat chocolate...and we love chocolate. The weather showed us some love with a handful of warm days for us to enjoy. And we got to spend lots of time with family and friends this month...nothing we love more than that!!
On one of those nice days, Maggie had her 4th grade field trip to the state capitol in Olympia. We had a great guide who LOVED all the marble in the building and shared that love with us. She also loved the work that goes on there and really made the trip fun. The kids got to meet a couple of our local representatives and when they visited the judicial building they tried their very own case. The court was not in session so we got to pick judges and attorneys to argue an actual case that had come before the court. We voted on the outcome and came to the same conclusion as the court. It was actually a lot of fun.
On one of our sunny days, we got to play outside. Gary and Maggie went for a bike ride around the neighborhood and Molly "rode" her bike too. She never actually pushed the pedals or moved anywhere but she was on the bike and to her, that qualified as riding it. But that is Molly for you. She is convinced she's 3, not 2 and she will argue with you until you give in. She insists on playing with not one, not two but ALL the washclothes...and she doesn't even have to be in the bathtub. And when she wants to put on her jammies... whether it is nighttime or noon, on they go. I'm going to keep telling myself that this strong will will make her a very successful person someday!!
