February in review

February was a good month.  We found a good rhythm in January and continued with it this month.  We had a couple days of sickness this month but we didn't need to take much school off...  And with the beautiful days we rushed through school to go outside.  As a family we started doing the Couch to 5K program, though I had to find an even slower program for me!!  It's been nice to be outside running as a family!!  One nice day we even went hiking with some friends!! 
Some highlights of February-
- Austin and Brian got to go on a Boy Scouts trip to Snow Trails and go skiing!!  Austin LOVED it!!
- Wyatt continued to play indoor soccer and his team has gotten much better the longer they play together.  They even won a game!!
- We participated in Scout Sunday at Fredericktown Methodist Church.  The boys ended up both doing the scripture readings and did an excellent job!  Rev Bohley asked them questions after their readings and they understood enough to answer properly!!  I was very proud of them!!
- On Valentine's Day we went to Hill Top Church and had fun with friends at a homeschool Valentine's Day party!!  The boys had fun making their boxes and playing with friends.
- Valentine's Day night was our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet.  The boys each did well in their skits or songs and Austin earned his Webelos Badge and Wyatt earned his Whittling Chip (EEEK!!)  It was a good night!!  We also raised enough money to meet our goal!  Thanks to Po, Nana and Auntie Jill for coming!!
- We went to the Bird Sanctuary and did a neat craft and made a bird feeder
- We spent a GREAT day at The Ohio Historical Society with good friends!!  We learned a lot about Ohio and had a fun day with friends!!
- Books read this month- What's the Big Idea Ben Franklin, Phoebe the Spy, Paul Revere's Famous Ride, Sign of the Beaver, If You Were There When They Signed the Constitution.  At night they read for fun the Harry Potter books.  Wyatt's much more into them and is already on the 3rd.  Austin read the 1st one last year and is kind of working on the 2nd...

Hours- Austin had 128 hours this month with a total of 690 hours for the year.  Wyatt had 123 hours in February with a total of 691 for the year.
