February 25, 2019 Chloé is 11

We had another beautiful evening behind the house.

The moon was huge.

Chloe had her birthday a day early so mike could participate too.

We had tacos and a campfire with our besties next door.

Cupcakes on Chloe's actual birthday.

Arabella is my friend and German teacher, and she is awesome.  I am thankful for her in my life.

Chloe's Tiger friend party.

We all got really into it. I feel pretty good about my first face painting experience.

Chloe's party people. Chloe made that amazing birthday banner with a tiger habitat.  We had tiger face paint.  We colored tigers.  We unwrapped a present ball like tigers.  We at a lot of food like tigers, except we are omnivores and had a good variety.

February 21, 2019 School, broken bones, and skiing.

Rex has had many versions of this cast.

We have had a lot of snow and cold. Ike has had so much fun sledding and starting fires at school.

Carb-loading.

Arabella and Chloe have been having so much fun together.

Little helper.  At school he uses knives a lot and now is great help at home.

Dinner with my gal pals.

Audio book evening.

New cast after Rex cracked his last one.

We went to a dinner put on by the group that formed my German class.  Ana came too.  We had a good night.

bunny-ing

They had spoons for schnapps Rex used his for his apple juice.

They had flaming shots that had so much alcohol they had a hard time putting out the flames.

Ike started riding a pedal bike

Dancing with Ivory

Sometimes you get a GIANT bear holding a regular bear and it isn't enough to fix life completely.

We have had two beautiful days.  It is hard to tell but Rex's cast is done.  They took out the K wires which wasn't as traumatic as I anticipated.  We are all so happy his is on the mend and is doing well.

It has been magical.

We made the most out of the sunny day, washed the car and went for a walk.

Mike went on another Ski trip.

It has been beautiful.

I think he has had a wonderful time.

 Treat yo' self.  I got myself flowers.

My friend Stevie and I went to the shoe museum.

There were lots of shoes and equipment to make shoes.

And a creepy marionette 

Alligator shoes

We thought these shoes look like those fish with the lights hanging

We had a great time with great company.

Light finger. Thanks dri for the coolest package.

Beautiful day with a tiny rainbow.

Rex biffed it and we had to go to the doctor
