This morning Everyone went to take Finn to school. We ran into his best buddy Charlie on the way in. Then Mama and Jax dropped me off at school then met me over at mass for Ash Wednesday. It was fun seeing them in there with me and my schoolmates.



                 

                 

                 

I was really happy to see Mama and Jax after school. I brought home my Valentine for Daddy (and Mama)

                  

For dinner we had a lovely salmon, cucumbers, rice and edamame. Unfortunately I ate only edamame. Everyone else said that dinner was very yummy. I trust them! Then we did lots of running around and wrestling, much to mama's dismay! It was a good day with my brothers!

                  



                 

It snowed almost all day today but it never really stuck. Kai got to go in to school 2 hours late. Then we just came home and stayed home! Mama said it was a No iPad Day. So, we did lots of running around and playing. Reading books and I did this puzzle almost entirely by myself! I was really proud of the outcome. i made Mama take lots of pictures!

                 



                



                 

When we got home from school my brothers and I helped Mama put all the trashcans away. Mama was so impressed. She said she can't wait to put us to work more!

                 

                 

                 

Then we picked up our King Cake from the Woodmoor Bakery on the way to MeMa and PopPop's house for dinner. It is Mardi Gras so we had to celebrate just a little bit tonight! Kai said that because it's Fat Tuesday we really have to eat today. He's so funny!

                  

We were really glad that the edible baby figure wasn't in our cake...



We did some building and playing and eating and running around and our Grandparent's house. We had lots of fun. It feels like it's been too long since we got to hang out with them!





I got to help MeMa make dinner. I think that's why it turned out so delicious!!

                 









After dinner we got to have our yummy cake. And boy was it tasty!!! Jax got the biggest piece. He said it tasted like a donut.  But I was the luckiest because I got the baby! He was right in the middle of my piece of cake and now that means that I'll have a super lucky year! I was so excited. 

                 





                  

                 

                  

                  

                  





Then MeMa read us all books before it was time to head home. It sure was a great evening!

This is how Mama found us sleeping this morning. I was with Kai and Lucy was with Finn. We just can't all sleep in our own beds every night. Sometimes we have to switch it up a little bit. Plus we just love each other!

                 

                 

This morning at my school Mama saw them burning the palms for Ash Wednesday. She's never actually seen them burning the palms...





This morning Mama and Jax got to check out some of my beautiful art work on the wall at school. I'm pretty proud of these things!

                 



After we dropped Finn off Mama and I headed to Home Depot. I didn't want to go there but once we were there I had a great time! Sometimes I forget how much I love that store. There is so much to check out. Did you know they have big boo's riding around that store!!??

                  

                  

I had a great day at school today. We learned all kinds of great things about this season. We read "Mimi's first Mardi Gras" and "Today is Monday in Louisiana". We talked about Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras and we even created beautiful masks with purple and green colors, feathers and sparkles. Mama has been showing us pictures and videos of all the floats and parades happening in New Orleans right now. I sure hope we can visit there some time soon! When we got out of school Mama let us run around with some of our friends for a little while. We had fun, then we realized that we were hungry and we wanted to go home for lunch!



                

Tonight we did some playing. I got to open the doors with my special keys. Then I did some major running around and playing with my brothers.

                  

                  

Then Mama headed out to her friend Miss Steph's house in DC to celebrate Chinese New Year with some of her friends. Miss Steph did all the cooking and Mama said it sure was delicious. I can't wait to celebrate Chinese New Year this weekend with my family!
