February started a bit rocky for us. Our car was hit while parked at the Ice Festival downtown and we had to file an insurance claim. We are just now getting it fixed since we had to wait for an appointment to repair the damage. Pretty crazy how much it would have cost us if we didn't have insurance. Evan got sick with Covid and had 5 days home from school and activities. Scott and I split up taking days off to be home with him and so inevitably we both got Covid too. It was about two weeks before we were all back to normal and healthy and somehow Sean never got it.
I don't think he minded being home sick during unusually mild weather. We ended up canceling our ski weekend at Nubs Nob with all of us sick.
We had a huge tree in our backyard cut down. Thankfully it was a warm day and we could all be out in the front to watch it go down. It was very entertaining! We even saw a bald eagle fly by!
We watched the Superbowl at home, completely bummed that the Lions were so close to making it and fell short. I didn't want either team to win. I was there for the halftime show with Usher and it was so, so good! We made some sliders and had other snacks for before and during the game. The kids made it to the end and were not happy with the Chiefs winning. Oh well! Next year?!
We celebrated Valentine's Day at home like we always do with heart shaped pizza and chocolate fondue. Evan was back at school and able to participate in our last elementary school Valentine's exchange. He gave cute little rubber ducks to everyone in his class. Scott and I gave the boys a gift card to Target and a package of candy. Nothing fancy this year.
Scott celebrated his 42nd birthday! We celebrated early with his family since it was a combined birthday party for Matt and Josh too. We had a "Bring a soup" dinner at Jackie's house and sat outside by a fire to have birthday ice cream cake. Evan had to stay home since he was sick with Covid as of that day, but the rest of us were able to go. We also celebrated this weekend on his actual birthday with bagels in the morning, a trip to Costco (he wanted to go...), a trip to the driving range, and dinner and beer out in downtown Plymouth with blueberry pie back at home. I think he had a great birthday!
Our Jeep is getting repaired this week, everyone is healthy, and the weather outlook looks great for the next 10 days so let's hope spring is here early and our luck is turning around! Less than a month until spring break and we are out of here for Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona!
