Making our way through February! Watching the Olympics has helped add some excitement to an otherwise dreary month, and we've been able to have some fun outings which has of course helped as well:-). Brian and I did an escape room for a friend's birthday, and we ALMOST cracked it (it was a pretty tough one!). It was probably the best escape room I've done, pretty clever. Brian took the kids snowboarding the next day and they had a great time - sounds like Nathan is getting the hang of it which is great! They are going again on Monday. Adam and I enjoyed a quiet day at home, and then I took him to Mod Pizza for supper. He quite enjoyed that, and I think that will become a tradition for these snowboarding days! I went for a hike with Kristy and Elisse on a beautiful day, and that evening we went to see Allegria, the latest Cirque show to come to town. It was very entertaining, as I have come to expect from Cirque du Soliel! A great evening with good friends!
Last Friday, I finally had my HR interview with the school district - yet another hoop towards being ready to start subbing is complete! I am doing some online trainings right now, and have to wait for my official certificate to be approved before I can start classroom subbing, but I think I'll be able to start subbing for paras and IA's pretty soon. I'm looking forward to giving it a go!
What else . . . Lynsey had some friends over for a sleepover last Saturday, I'm so glad they can start doing some normal teenage things again. It feels like the whole Covid climate is starting to change as talk of mask mandates being dropped even in schools are starting - I am crossing my fingers for March 21st, when the state mandate goes away. King County might extend it because, well, they are King County and despite insanely high vaccination rates, are always the last ones to the party.
We are in the middle of our mid winter break, and while we didn't go anywhere, I did take the kids on an outing yesterday. Lynsey wanted to go to the mall with her friend Maggie, so I dropped them off, and took all three of my boys (how sad that I'm calling Jasper one of my boys lol!) over to Richmond Beach park for an hour and a half or so. They had a great time! It was a beautiful afternoon, and Nathan enjoyed taking Jasper around and even had quite an adventure at one point when he got a bit further from the beach than I would have liked:-/. In his words, he "went to hell and back" lol. I'm just happy he made it back! Apparently he had to climb under a fence, which made me cringe a bit but I'm glad he had a fun adventure and lived to tell the tale:-). We went for frozen yogurt, picked up the girls and headed home. I realized that I don't often do these kinds of outings anymore, and I probably should do them more. They really enjoyed it and it was a nice change of scenery for me, too. I wasn't thrilled to be driving in traffic again, but I probably should do that once in a while anyway so I don't forget how:-D.
Next weekend we are having a small birthday party for Nathan - our baby is going to be TEN years old! Crazy!
