Field trips and February

February has been flying by. We have enjoyed a few field trips, one out to the Utica Art Museum. Kevin has a great aunt who lives out there, and we were able to meet up with her and spend the day with her. She was a huge help too!
Here the kids are putting together their own modern art design. I think the kids did surprisingly well and were pretty interested in the paintings and exhibits.
But after some time they just needed to blow off some steam, and we went to a fun indoor playground before we drove back.
We had fun with Valentines Day this year, with Daniel and Rachel making different Valentines, our annual heart hide and seek game, and making some cake. The frosting was kind of runny, but it was fun all the same.
A day in the life....Daniel and Rachel are working on a project together and Noah can play pretty independently. The space behind the kids we put some dry erase paint up, and it is fun drawing on the wall. If one thing I am learning is to go with the flow a little better, and the kids will learn and are learning everyday.
We went on another field trip to the Museum of Science in Syracuse. It is becoming a favorite with the hands on things the kids can do, and it is close that we can meet up with Kevin during the day. I don't like the two hour parking limit however.

It has still been a mild winter, and find myself wanting just a little more snow. But we have been able to get out a lot this winter and I can't complain. I am looking forward to friends coming in next week, a few more museums to visit, and Daniel's approaching 6 year old birthday!
