Daily Photo: February 5 - 11, 2019

February 5, 2019 -- Sometimes I don't feel like much of an adult and then I find myself getting excited about empty laundry baskets (and taking pictures of them) and, well, my "adult status" is pretty much confirmed.

February 6, 2019 -- We had no school this day due to ice so we took advantage of the extra time and put the kids to work on their Valentines cards.

February 7, 2019 -- I was so excited to crawl into bed with my book and my comfort/magic/heat bag this day. Every night in winter, I wrap my comfort bag around my feet and it's so lovely. Also, this picture was taken at 8:43pm -- I was tired!

February 8, 2019 -- I made a vegetarian plov (pilaf) for our dinner from Turkmenistan. We all agreed this should become a regular part of our menu rotation because it was delicious! And it was fun to dump it out of the pot onto our big platter :)

February 9, 2019 -- Sam picks the most interesting reading positions. This has been a favourite of his lately, squatting and hunched over his book. Notice the couch, covered with blankets and pillows, which is about three feet behind him. Kids are weird.

February 10, 2019 -- Our local neighbourhood association had a skating party this day. I took both kids on my own and they had a blast on the ice! They skated with their friends, Sam played hockey, and even though Rachel took a big spill, she kept on going. I'm so proud of my kids and how they've persevered with skating this winter. They are rock stars!

February 11, 2019 -- Dave had an evening commitment so our front light was on to welcome him home. I captured this through our dining room window and you can see some of the greenery in our window boxes too. After this, I went to bed. PS. I took this picture at 8:39pm.
