A little bit of chaos + some Feb recap

Hello all, We're coming up on the end of February and have had some really good times with the kids throughout the month. Things are a little screwy at the moment, though, for a couple of reasons: 1) My back is all spasmy again. Sigh. Eventually I'll take care of this, right? Holly has been a real trooper (again) doing most of the heavy lifting around here (literally) while I work on getting better.

2) Henry has gotten so good at rolling around that he started doing it in the night in his swaddler. Holly and I both quickly decided that this wasn't really safe so we cut the swaddler out cold turkey. Unfortunately, this has had a major impact on Henry's sleep pattern. He's trying to figure things out and this has left us with some pretty unpredictable sleep situations (3 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours; 5 and 3; 2, 2, 2, and 2; 0 until 2 a.m. and then 5 hours straight...we seriously have no idea what to expect on any given night)

Anyway, let's flash back to the start of the month and pop some pictures out here of things that we did a couple of weeks ago.

On Groundhog Day, I took volunteer leave from work and helped out at Max's school for their kindergarten Winter Carnival. I was primarily stationed at the Chateau Woodroffe event - kids were instructed to bring in ice blocks made in as big a container as possible and dyed with food colouring. Kids stacked the blocks up to make a wall and then water sprinkled from a watering can was used to "glue" the whole thing together. The end product was pretty cool and is still standing outside the school today. Here's a picture of Max's class with what half of the morning students were able to accomplish:

On the 3rd, Holly did a little brunch with Auntie Melody, Laramie and West. Here's what Henry wore:

That's our boy - always ready to slay fools with unbridled happiness:) We also took a video later on in the day of Leo and his new favourite hobby - blowing milk bubbles. Here it is.
