St. Patties Parade

We met my brother and his family at the St. Patties Parade downtown and got to see his new puppy, Henry.

More fun at Mobius

new bed

I went to a Nursing conference and brought home this splat ball, which Jason and Connor both love to play with.  It's the strangest thing. Splat Balls will "splat" when you throw them against a table, wall or window, but then they come right back into shape. Throw it against a window and listen to the "SPLAT!" as it flattens against the glass. But what's this? The Splat Ball reshapes itself back into a ball and begins moving down the glass like a spider on a wall.

We bought a full size mattress and converted Connor's bed into a big boy bed!  He picked out a set of Spider-man and dinosaur sheets.  I spent the first night with him in his new cozy bed.  Now there is room for all his stuffed animals!

We visited Nana and Grandpa.  Connor had to show Grandpa some of his spider books from the library.

St. Patties Flying Irish run

Connor and I usually walk a different route for Flying Irish, rather than trying to keep up with 400 sweaty runners and dragging our jogging stroller up and down stairs.  We take our own lovely stroll and then meet the sweaty runners back at the Ripples hotel conference room afterwards.

Since Spokane does not have a zoo... the next best thing is a trip to Cabella's

Ryan

Connor loves his cousin Ryan!

Playing inside his fort.  The balloons hanging from the top are "lanterns."  What a cute imagination this kid has.

I can't get enough of these boys!

Jason reading a bedtime story

The boys sitting at the top of the stairs with spider-man... Jason was at the bottom of the stairs shooting stomp rockets up the stairs and the boys would try to catch them.

Crazy February

Jason left Monaco mid January and was out of work for a month.  While he was home he made this robot with Connor.

Connor is really into bugs right now.  Snakes and spiders are his favorites.  So, for breakfast I made him this snake pancake.

My WSU clinical group in the lab.  My clinical group is composed of 4- 4 semester students and 4- 5 semester students.  Most of which are ESL (English is a second language).  This group is amazing!  I think I'm the only person in the group (aside from our instructor) who doesn't speak multiple other languages.  We have 3 men in the group from Ethiopia, who all speak 3-6 languages, 2 ladies from Somalia, 2 ladies from Russia and then there is me and my instructor, who are the only pale skin Spokane natives.
