Heat wave

Luke has been absolutely obsessed with Legos.  He plays with them every moment he has.  Anytime he goes into his room he gets distracted and starts playing with them, even if he's just running in there to get socks or something like that.  He told me "When there's Legos around I just can't resist!"  Ha!

Matt and Steve took Luke and Anthony to the high school basketball game

Botanic Garden with Hartmans and new friends the Suellentrops 

Such a gorgeous day!

The kids said they were so hot!  They asked if they could do the slip n slide.  On February 18th!!

Always the trooper, Matt hooked up the warm water from the outdoor shower to get the slip n slide up for them.

Thanks to Uncle Ben and Aunt Linda for an awesome Christmas gift to the kids to see Paw Patrol Live downtown!  So fun.

Lego for Luke

Workout buddy often makes herself a little nest on the ground and snoozes and/or watches my "Call the Midwife" show that I'm watching while working out, but she has no sound because I'm wearing headphones.

Went tubing with Luke in WI

Matt got his beard "shaped"- ha!

Superbowl Party

We had a big Superbowl party with all of our Lake Forest friends that was a blast.  I seemed to have taken no pictures of it, though.  Here are some other things from the week though!

Went to Luke's Inquiry Block presentation at school.  He taught me all about the "Arctic Tern".
