Our house is finally back in full swing. We not only have found a church that we more or less agree upon, but are back to all our extracurricular activities. The kids are not only taking their gymnastics class, but taking turns participating in a sport and the younger two take science classes at the library. We are back to being busy again!
T is the first kid up to do his sport. He picked flag football, which he seems to really like. Unfortunately, the first game was a double header with an hour practice before hand. Basically, we fried in the 88 degree day for over 3 hours! Lots of sun burns! Yes, it is February here, but it's Texas, though to be fair the high for next weeks game is only 58. I am not looking forward to L's games in May. We will have to remember an umbrella so we can have some shade. She gets her turn next and picked soccer. A hasn't decided yet, but is leaning towards cheer.
We just discovered our automatic sprinklers actually go through the whole 2 acres. What we can't figure out is how to make them work! We can get five zones to go off regularly, but 2 have only gone off once and 2 not at all. It is really frustrating. We might have to call someone to show us how to work the sprinklers. I really feel that with 3 college degrees among us that we should be able to turn water on!
I finally received the trees I ordered. I ordered from Womack's Nursery and they have great reviews. I was a little disappointed in how small the trees were when they arrived, but have planted all 6 in the front yard and in about 10 years maybe I can have fresh produce. Not to mention a wind break, it is so windy here ALL OF THE TIME!
Since Valentine's Day is on Tuesday, we celebrated Sunday after church. We played some minute to win it games and had a lot of fun. The kids have really taken to our little Valentines Day party and it has become a tradition over the past three years,

| Now try it with straws |

| And then try it elevated while making it into the ice cream cone. |

Maisy has caught the rabbit that lives under the deck. I thought it might be the mama so D disassembled part of the deck to look for the nest. We found it and as we were digging around in it to see if something was there it hopped out and scared us to death. I guess that means the rabbit is big enough to get around on his own so we removed the nest and are hoping they will move else where so Maisy stops killing them off. I don't like finding dead chewed up rabbits. While the deck was being put back together, we decided that it should probably be resealed. D was so excited about that!
Have a great Valentine's Day!
