the rest of February

The boys and I did handmade Valentines this year. Molded crayon hearts, on heart paper. Elliott loved signing all of his.
Of course his box had to be awesome too.
Toilet paper rolls and paint make an amazing heart design, and freezer paper is perfect for stamping on.
It turned out perfectly, and he won "best box" for the 2nd year at school. 
He also helped make treats.  
He was the "sprinkler". 
Chocolate dipped rice crispy pops. 
Valentine's day also brought snow. 
But we are used to that, and it was great. 
 Of course, as long as there is ice, we will be on it.
 Our friends had us over for dinner, and surprised Jason with Portillo's. Totally made his night!
 Yes, we even have hockey in the house (all the time).
 And when there is snow, there are indoor activities like play-doh. 
These two pictures were taken the same day. We had a lacrosse throw around, followed by hockey practice. It was a perfect evening. 
Here is Ethan being interviewed for the newscast about the state tournament.
 There is now a roller skating rink in Helena. I was pretty dang excited, and so were these two.
 By the time we left Elliott was going all by himself.
 Ethan's friend, Grayson, joined us. They had a blast!
 This was just the beginning of lacrosse season. It got much worse.
 I did restring the shooting strings on Elliott's stick all by myself. He wanted green, so green he got. 
 Jason even got in his first hockey game this season.
 He looks pretty legit.
 And he even got a backhanded goal! 
 
Whew. That sums up February.
