Honor Roll, Valentine's & The Italian Fest

February was an exciting month for us! Maddy finally overcame her long standing C average in Math and made A/B Honor Roll!  Hooray!  Mike & I are so proud! We hope she can keep up the hard work!



We also celebrated Valentine's Day!  The girls exchanged notes and had parties at school. Mikayla even got to die AND paint a cute t-shirt!


At home the girls got a treat from Mike & I.  Maddy, a new Monster High doll and Mikayla, some furnishings for the Tinkerbell house she got for Christmas.  Mike & I exchanged cards & cooked up a yummy dinner for two... steaks, loaded double baked potatoes & brussels sprouts.  Mmm Mmm... :)


The following week, we went to our town's annual Italian Feast & Fest!



Mote Marine Laboratory has a mobile aquarium that visits local events, the girls and our friend Shay had a great time touching the starfish, horseshoe crabs and sea urchins!


Opening Night is the best time to go to the Fest, all the rides are $1... versus the $3 - $4 per kid they normally are. What a deal!  The girls rode everything and anything they were tall enough for!




The girls played a couple games which won them each a goldfish!


This was the Italian FEAST and Fest, so of course we ate dinner... and dessert!


As soon as the sun went down the fog rolled in. It made for a cool picture as we were leaving. The Feast & Fest was a treat for us all!
