We started the week before Valentine's Day with the second round of a tummy bug that hit all five of us (although not at the same time), so the boys enjoyed opening up a box of goodies from Granddad and Nana.
Two Seattle Seahwak football player plush toys...
And the Seahawk mascot hand puppet!
They were a big hit and Jack and Wyatt decided to use their Nerf guns to hit down the football players. Creative uses!!
Speaking of creative, I changed things up a bit the Valentine's Day and instead of just having their goodies sitting there waiting for the boys when they woke up, I got a scavenger hunt and set it up for them.
This was waiting for them at the end...
Jack was trying to act too cool for the activity...
But Wyatt and Ethan LOVED running around the house finding the clues.
And it was good practice for both the little ones to practice their reading.
Then we decided it had been awhile since we had gone and done ANYTHING, so we headed out to the zoo.
It was cold but fun! Do you see the lion in the tree?
Ethan specifically asked to see the elephants and gorillas - and he was not disappointed.
As we were walking out we noticed a new exhibit -- bald eagles!
Of course, the boys and I have had the pleasure of watching bald eagles in the wild when we visit the family back in Seattle, but it was still cool to see.
This placard was very interesting -- I don't think I knew any of this.
