Day Off

 Feb 15,

Today is a welcomed, much needed, and deserved day off. I started the day with an early morning walk with the girls, made Bella breakfast in bed (since she is always doing so much for us), and did a whole lot of kitchen prep for lunch and for the week.

At some point today I also need to catch up on all the school emails, which have been accumulating in my inbox because I never have time to read them during the week.

Valentine's Day

 Feb 14,

We are not super into Valentine's Day, but we make the effort. I got the girls a couple of small gifts, Bella made us pancakes, she made Lionel a card, and even decorated the table.



Busted!

 Feb 13,

Kika is so athletic that she looks light as a feather when jumping, and she effortlessly jumps on the couch - where we do NOT want her.



Sledding and Walking

 Feb 13,

This afternoon Bella met one of her good friends from school at Ault Park to go sledding. Sofia was doing homework, but Lionel and I took her there and walked the girls in the meantime. It was cold, but we managed.

Zoey and Kika's Week

Chimes

 Feb 12,

Kika has learned that she can use these chimes to tell us when she needs to go outside to pee or poop. Unfortunately she is abusing a little, and going there when she wants to go outside to play - which is basically all the time given that she loves the snow, and there is plenty of snow outside. Even Zoey is now using them, according to the girls. I have not seen it myself, but I would not be surprised if she also wants "in".





My plants

 Feb 10,

This is what it takes right now to keep my plants alive. We have made a tunnel between the couches, put all the plants there, and found a way to block Kika's way so she doesn't chew on them. Glass half full: They are all getting natural light from the skylights.
