Not a whole lot going on here. We are thankful for our Nintendo Wii. Because it is still fairly cold, we are passing February nights by playing a lot of Mario Kart. It is pretty cool on the wall with the projector. Our competitiveness is enhanced by this large screen :) For you Nintendoheads (yikes, that's far from gearheads), to the right is Yoshi , Koopa Troopa, Toad and Donkey Kong battling it out. Baleigh usually kicks all of our butts.
Yea! The Koester5 was together for dinner tonight!
Last weekend, we saw our first robins of the season! Come on Spring! Baleigh went to the science center in the mall and made a colorful netting that we hung in a bush in hopes that a robin will use it for her nest. We also put a finch feeder out and had 2 little yellow friends visiting this morning.
This is a great memory of fun in the summer. I love the thought of that warmth and freedom (sorry, non-teachers). This is a picture from Lou's American Girl Camp last July. Baleigh is in the yellow shirt and glasses. I cannot believe how much she has changed since July!
Here is the shaggy Puppa Sade and the groomed Princess Sadie. I think maybe the flash bothered her in the groomed pic :) She got a fun little Shamrock scarf from the groomer today. The reason that I am featuring Sadie again is because the talented pet contest has begun. Baleigh typed up a 35-word paragraph of Puppa Sade's talents and entered her in this contest. What we didn't know was that in order for your pet to get votes, people have to donate to the Newspapers for Education fund at the Southern Illinoisan. I was unaware of the "pay to vote" details. Anyhoo, it was fun to see her in the paper and online. It will be interesting to see if she gets any votes.
Happy last week of February!
