Playtime After School

 I love play dates after school. Even if it's of a couple of hours. The kids get so exited, even after they've seen each other across the classroom all day! lol It's even better when it is warm enough outside to play. The trampoline is getting some good use after a stagnant, bitter winter.......

Matthew, Burklie, and Ava play "crack the egg" (that brings back childhood memories of 5 of us kids playing that same game).......

Meanwhile, the three year olds, Emma and Isaac, made goodies out of mud. This included cookies and ice cream. Afterward, they said they were "planting trees." lol

Let me just note that kids have perfect posture and ergonomics until they hit the age of 5. Look how Isaac bends at the knees in a squat and keeps his back straight in the photo above. I say age 5 because that's when kids began slouching and sitting too long in desks. This is why exercise is so important after school (and yoga at the end of the day if you can fit it in). It's never to early to think about and practice good posture to maintain a strong, healthy spine. It will literally effect the way you do things the rest of your life. I've been making changes myself and trying to break my bad posture habits. It has been a challenge!
Ok, there is my bodywork educational "plug" for the day........ Haha.

The month of February is usually the slowest time of the year for us. But, not this time! I've made a couple weekends to Las Vegas. One for an eventful girl's weekend. I don't know if I want to reveal the photos for that trip. Maybe if I get enough comments of people wanting to see them, I will (with permission from the rest of my party) Haha  ;)
The other with Bryan and friends to a Jackson Brown concert. Audrey watched Ava and Isaac, so it was a great date weekend :)
*Special thanks to my mom and Audrey!* XO

There are many trips to town in general this month......it'll be nice to chill out before the madness of March arrives. Bryan has scheduled his oral exams; for March. You will hear a great sigh of relieve across the Great Basin when that's done :) I am beginning to plug away on my CEUs for my TMT license renewal in May. That always comes up so sudden every year!

I realized this month has the fewest blog posts from me than any other month..... lol
It's been a whirlwind. From what I've seen and read ~ looks like it's been a busy, productive month for most of my friends and family! Enjoy the ride, but don't forget to take 15 minutes everyday in a quiet corner and just......... breathe :)
