February was a short but fun month!
Max and the other kindergarteners went on a field trip to the Georgia Aquarium! Funny story -- I had meetings for work near Atlanta that day, and as I was driving back toward home I passed their school bus on the highway! The windows on the bus are tinted (and we were all driving highway speeds) so we couldn't see each other, but it was still fun. (And it made me feel really good that the bus driver was going a nice, reasonable speed and staying the course in one lane. Haha)
How fun that a penguin jumped in the water while the kids were in the tube!
We had the Krueger's and Winiarski's over to celebrate Walter's birthday. Max and Saskia had finished their lunch and went to play. All of a sudden they ran in the dining room with masks and light sabers! It was so funny.
Of course, little Natalia wanted in on the action, too. We only have two light sabers so she is improvising with a hair light saber. :-)
Celebrated Saskia's 6th birthday at a gymnastics party! I didn't get many good pictures inside the party, but we snapped one in the parking lot before we left. (The party was on Super Bowl Sunday - the day before her actual birthday - and Max just happened to put on a New England Patriots shirt when he got up that day! He has no idea what the Super Bowl is, so it was a pretty funny coincidence.)
First time bowling! The bowling alley near us has 99 cent games and shoe rentals on Sunday mornings until noon. We went to church and then headed over to bowl! Max enjoyed it.
Celebrating Yajur's birthday! The thing the kids are sitting in spins around really fast and they loved it.
I'm not totally sure what Max is pretending to do / be in this photo, but it's a good one!
Valentine's Day exchange at school! Each student was assigned a classmate to make a Valentine for (instead of everyone giving Valentine's to the whole class). Max and his best friend Riaan got paired up! It's hard to make out their hats, but there are little antenna's on the sides so the kids are "love bugs." :-)
We have had an insane amount of rain this winter so when the sun came out long enough to somewhat dry out the playground, we headed outdoors!
Reading snuggles after dinner!
