…on a 60-degree day in February!
Goals
I had set a personal step goal for January of averaging 10,000 steps per day. I somehow managed to accomplish it, finishing the month with 316,940 steps, even with everything going on. I do so much more if I have a goal, so I set a new one for February – 320,000 steps (an average of just over 11,000 a day) and 10 check-ins at the gym. Between two, 15-minute walks at work today and a trip to the gym tonight, I think I made a good start…
Prep School Valentines Day
I took John to Target this morning to pick out Valentine’s Day cards for his class. He was so excited to find Monster Jam Valentine’s cards with Monster Jam pencils that he was actually jumping up and down!
Because Laura had a sleepover last night, she did not go with us to Target. I took a guess, and, luckily, it paid off! She will be making her own cards from a kit that I found.
I bought some stickers to go with the kit and Laura was very happy that she didn’t have to give the same old boring cards “over and over again.” We also bought Dum-Dums suckers and Airheads to include on each card.
Laura sat down to work on her cards first. She was having a great deal of fun with making each card different.
Here are some of the finished cards.
John sat down a bit later to work on his cards.
He started with choosing the card for Reagan Lyman (his “girlfriend”) and got through most of his class. In case you were wondering, Reagan’s card is the pink one, or “The Queen because she is way *awesome* Mom!).
The kids will finish up their cards during the coming week and will “deliver” the cards next Monday.

Cute
Thank You!
This is a big “THANK YOU!!!” to everyone who bought Girl Scout Cookies from Laura. Our Junior sold 260 boxes (258 + 2 boxes of Trios). Overall, her troop sold 2,705 boxes. Cross your fingers that cookie booth sales go well. With splitting those sales, she might make it to the 300-box prize level.
And, if you still want to pre-order cookies, let me know. Laura can still take orders!
