ORGANIZING MY CLOSET
February 5, 2015
My closet has been driving me crazy for a long time.  My clothes have been cramped for too long.  It was finally time to get some more organizing baskets from IKEA and some bins for the upper shelves to store some of my misc items, hats, swimsuits, and ski stuff.  I finally organized my scarves too.  With the extra baskets I was able to move some of Mike's clothes out of the large cabinet so I could have more room for some of my clothes.  Not only was I able to organize all of Mike's clothes so they weren't sitting on the wire shelves, but I was able to Now I can finally feel good about going into my closet.

EARLY MORNING RUNS 
February 5, 2015
I have loved running with the Sunrise Striders.  Twice a week I get up while it is dark and put on my warm weather gear and head to meet the group in downtown Colorado Springs.  Since it is still dark when we start running most of us use our headlamps.  Mike got me the greatest headlamp to use on my runs.  Most weeks we do a tempo run on one day and a track workout on the other day. Sometimes we mix in hill repeats in place of one of the speed workouts.  Some days I am super tired from my early morning run but most times I am energized.  There is something so great about running with people who are fast and driven.  It has been the best thing for me to be part of such a great group.

NEW BENCH
February 6, 2015
For almost a year we have been looking for a bench for our entryway.  Every bench we saw was always too long.  Today I found the perfect bench.  The best part was that it wasn't all that expensive which meant I could get a few decorative pillows!

SWIMMING IN FEBRUARY
February 7, 2015
With the weather being in the mid 70s in FEBRUARY, we knew that we just had to take advantage of swimming in the pool at Flying Horse.  The boys were pretty tired after our hike in Garden of the Gods so they stayed home while Mike and I took the girls to have a little fun in the sun.  The lap pool at Flying Horse is heated and open all year long which is SO AWESOME!  We swam in the pool for a little while and then moved over to the hot tub to soak up as much sun as we could before calling it a day!

SUNDAY NAPS
February 8, 2015
I LOVE taking naps on Sunday and Mike loves to take pictures of me when I am sleeping.  Usually he will grab photos of me in the car sleeping but he got me napping on this beautiful Sunday.  There is nothing better than those Sunday naps!

VALENTINES FOR SCHOOL
February 12, 2015
The girls agreed to do a no candy valentine this year for their classmates.  We found a great idea from Pinterest using glow sticks.  They were relatively easy to put together and the girls had fun helping out.  We all giggled every time we accidentally popped one of the sticks as we were putting them through the note.

PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS
February 18, 2015
In preparation for our upcoming cruise we decided that we really needed to get Abby into private swim lessons so that she could finally break that barrier and learn to truly swim on her own.  I went ahead and put Emma in lessons too so that she could get to the point where she could join the stroke clinic.  I have been SO impressed with their lessons.  They have done remarkably well and have really learned some great safety techniques.  Next class Emma should be moving onto her strokes and Abby just needs to finish her Independence section before she learns her strokes.

MY KIDS
February 21, 2015
The kids were all watching clips from Big Hero 6 that we had just bought on Apple TV earlier that day and I just had one of those moments where I felt like the luckiest mom in the world.  I just love my kids.

SCHOOL AWARDS
February 25, 2015
Both Andrew and Peter have done remarkably well in school this year.  Peter has managed to pull straight A's awarding him the Principal's Honor Roll for quarters 1 and 2.  Andrew has also done really well pulling in mostly A's and placing him in with a GPA between 3.5-3.99 awarding him Honorable Mention for quarters 1 and 2.  I am so proud of both of them for all their hard work.

SICK BABY

February 26, 2015
It is no fun being sick.  This week both Abby and I have been sick at home.  Poor Abby has had a fever for 3 days so today I decided it would be fun to change things up a bit and let her have a grand old time having a bubble bath in my big bathtub.  She loved every minute of it.  It was all worth seeing those smiles while she forgot about being sick for just a little bit.

LEARNING TO PAINT THE WALLS
February 28, 2015
I was thrilled to see Mike up on Saturday morning prepping the guest bathroom to be painted.  When we moved into our house there were lots of holes in the walls that needed repair.  When we had the painters try and paint over the patched up areas the paint didn't quite match.  After several attempts to match the paint we knew that we would just need to paint over certain areas.  This one wall in the guest bathroom has been on my mind since we moved in.  I was so grateful it was finally going to be painted.  What was even better was the fact that Mike gave Andrew a great tutorial on how to paint walls.  Andrew helped Mike to finish the wall and I didn't have to lift a finger.  That is something to be grateful for.
