Day 59: Good Graffiti

February 28
I noticed this written on a bulletin board at the girls' school.  And I wholeheartedly agree.

Day 58: Not for Dad

February 27
This is what happens when he finishes off the previous box.

Day 57: My New Best Friend

February 26
I got this laptop back in November, and because my classes are online it's become my constant companion since then.

Day 56: Balance

February 25
You can't pass a curb and not try to balance on it.  At least, not if you're Ellie.

Day 55: Pants Again

February 24
I wore pants to church again today.

Day 54: Hats

February 23
We found the most awesome shop in the mall.  I think this hat looks rather dashing on Chris.

Day 53: Cookies!

February 22
Yet another booth sale, this one with jazz hands.

Day 52: New Shoes

February 21
I've had the shoes on the left for over three years, and they've been the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.  I was devastated when they started to fall apart, but, happily, I managed to find some new ones that are pretty similar.

Day 51: The Best Time of Year

February 20
I shouldn't love these so much, but I do.

Day 50: Miss Lincoln

February 19
School projects are awesome.

Day 49: Snow Hike

February 18
Every year we spend President's Day hiking around Trillium Lake with friends.  It's a 4.5 mile hike, and all of these kids (and the dog!) did it without complaint.

Day 48: Not Mine

February 17
...and yet they always end up in my bathroom.

Day 47: How Can You Say No?

February 16
Is it possible to resist these two cute Daisies?  Especially when one of them is dressed as a giant Girl Scout cookie?

Day 46: First Booth Sale of the Year

February 15
This is how I'll be spending the next three weekends.

Day 45: Valentines

February 14
I joined Ellie's class for their Valentine's Day party.

Day 44: Getting Ready for Booth Sales

February 13
Both troops met together today, and the Cadettes gave the Daisies some pointers on how to set up a good cookie booth.

Day 43: Just Me and My Teddy Bear

February 12
I spent today sick in bed with the flu, but Ellie made sure I had company.  Every time she saw me without the bear, she returned it to its rightful place in my arms.

Day 42: Applications

February 11
And now the waiting officially begins...

Day 41: Future Soccer Players

February 10
After years of no one wanting to play any kind of team sports, these two surprised me by asking to play soccer this Spring.  We got them signed up, and they're both eager to get started.

Day 40: Got Cookies?

February 9
My poor co-leader is stuck with piles of cookies in her living room until March.

Day 39: Don't Judge Me

February 8
Choose your battles, people.  Choose your battles.

Day 38: Study, Study, Study

February 7
Today I learned all about Normal Quantile Plots.

Day 37: Recital Costume

February 6
Her class is dancing to "It's a Jolly Holiday" from Mary Poppins.  They're the penguins.

Day 36: Favorite Snack

February 5
I tell myself that it's healthy because of the fruit, but I'm kind of afraid the Nutella cancels that out.

Day 35: I Have No Idea

February 4
I really don't know what's happening here, but it was the only picture I took today.

Day 34: Downton Abbey

February 3
I enjoy my Sunday evening guilty pleasure, even if I can't convince Chris to watch it with me.

Day 33: So Tasty

February 2
Chris and I are always on the lookout for a good hamburger restaurant.  We found one tonight: Foster Burger.
