 I know it is the end of February and I am just sending out November...I needed a new computer and I got one for Christmas and yesterday I finally set it up:) So here are the missing blogs.

Playing Simon Says with Daddy

The friends we met at the park who joined us for Halloween came over for a girls night. We had dinner and great conversation. They are safely back in Japan now.

I'm teaching art in Cole's classroom. We practiced making this corn with beads at home.

On Friday's at school Alexis's reading group reads in the dark.  So cute

No idea...guess I thought this was funny:)

First COVID Vaccination. The doctor's office had a movie playing, gave out stuffed animals, had crayons and coloring books to take..they did a great job

Allen had to go into the office for one day.  It is in Seattle. So we got a hotel room with a pool. The kids loved it.
