.: FROM FEBRUARY...

Phenomenal Woman
by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me. I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist, and the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me. They try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them they say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, the sun of my smile, the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Now you understand just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing it ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care, 'cause I'm a woman Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

FROM FEBRUARY...

February 5th. Monumental day in the life of a 5 year old. Logan asked for his first mohawk.

Silas had to have his picture too. "Me like Lo-Lo mama, peas."

February 8th, Logan built his first multi-seat motorcycle with Legos.

February 12th. Logan asked for a Robot to hold his treats and cards for his Valentine's party at school. So with a couple cereal boxes, 3 soda cans, 2 empty nut containers, some aluminum foil and duct tape "IT'S ALIVE!"....

February 23rd. Logan's cousin Zailee came for a sleepover. They get along great. They spent a lot of time outside on the swing set, riding bikes and coloring with chalk on the RV pad. They also enjoyed playing with all the Little People sets we have. Logan asked if we could make play dough, so we did that as well.
