Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

We had a fun weekend. Except for yesterday morning when I made everyone clean in order to do a fun family activity later. The cleaning was brutal. But we made it. 

After dance we stopped by G-ma and Pa’s house  to play and watch the MA championship game. They won!

The fun family activity was meeting the Held’s at the Grove for swimming!

We took advantage of the beautiful sunset last night and sunrise this morning by getting in some Luna walks.

Today we went downtown to celebrate Auntie Yoda, Uncle Josh, and Chris’ birthdays. 

Later we played outside. It doesn’t feel like spring quite yet...but almost.

I’ll leave you with a couple videos from the weekend.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday!! Callie is now on spring break. I have one more week to go. We’ve had glimpses of spring but it sounds like snow is maybe coming our way again! I hope not.

This was a fun week. Maya hung out with Boom, Lucy, Iris, and even Auntie Mari on Monday!

We celebrated Chris’ birthday by giving him a cereal lover’s box (he eats more cereal than anyone else I know...and his daughters do too)...and then dinner and dessert with G-ma and Pa and Luna.

On Wednesday Maya hung out with G-ma and then we went downtown.

Maya had picture day on Thursday and G-ma got her hair all pretty. Later she had fun scootering around.

Callie had a concert at school on Thursday night. I didn’t get any good videos and only a couple pictures. But trust me, it was ADORABLE.

Tonight I got Callie reading during dinner. She has been super into graphic novels and pretty anti chapter books lately. But her teacher gave her this book, along with a comprehension packet to complete for some challenge work, and she is into it!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Tuesday!

Maya and her grandmothers at Grandparents’ Day at preschool:

And the silly girls:

Happy Birthday Daddy, Auntie Yoda, and Uncle Dan!!

Here we are again- March 19th is a big day!  Happy Birthday to three of my favorite people!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all! I spent the weekend up north with my friend Jenna. We headed up to Two Harbors on Friday after work! We spent most of the day yesterday driving and hiking. But first...COFFEE!

The first hiking spot was Temperence River.

And then Tettegouche. That one was my favorite.

We had a super late lunch (3:30pm) and a nap, and then went out snowshoeing!

Based on my Fitbit, we had a pretty active day

This morning we headed up to Gooseberry Falls.

I found a picture from a similar spot that we took this summer to show the difference between the seasons at Gooseberry (left: July 2017; right: March 2018)

Anyway.

It was a great weekend and I’m grateful for the time away.

While I was away, the girls spent some time with G-ma and Pa and Luna.

And, of course, their daddy. But he never sends me pictures.

It was bath night and then movie night tonight. Home, sweet home (complete with an uncooperative preschooler).

Happy St. Patty’s Day

The girls are wearing green for Nana today!

It’s always fun to look back in Timehop on these holidays.

And one of my favorites- Callie’s first St. Patty’s Day.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday!!!!!

Callie was off of school at the beginning of this week, so she got to hang out with Boom, Lucy, Maya, and Iris on Monday.

Maya turned into Tinkerbell on Monday night.

Tuesday was Grandparents Day at Maya’s preschool, so Boom and G-ma (and Callie) had a fun morning with her!

Since daylight savings, we have beautiful late afternoon sunlight in our living room. I noticed the pretty light with Callie yesterday and had to take some pictures. There were lots of “outtakes”...

...before the beautiful money shot.

Sigh. She looks so beautiful and so OLD!! We had her hair curled for spring picture day at school. And her shirt says “Kindness is always in style.” ❤️

Maya went to do art with Pa today.

And Maya had some awesome bedhead this morning, and refused to wear her coat this afternoon because it felt “so warm.”

Have a great weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

Hey all! I just have one for you today- Callie and her daddy.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all!

We had a pretty relaxed weekend. Maya and I went to Target yesterday morning (seriously 7:15am is the BEST time to go to Target...you can strike poses in the cereal aisle like this with no one around to bug you) and then the girls and I took Luna out for some snow fun.

Then we had dance. Maya actually had a little dance “show” up in the big studio. She hasn’t let either Chris nor I stay in the room during her recent dance classes. I tried to sneak in today for the show, but as soon as she saw me she burst into tears and kicked me out. Again. Thankfully Callie was with, and for whatever reason Maya doesn’t mind her being there. Even with my cell phone and clearing taking videos. So here is a big video compilation of some of her dance songs from the animal unit. So. Stinking. Cute. (It’s about 5:00 so sorry it is long! I couldn’t decide which numbers to skip so I just put them all in).

After dance we went to see a middle school production of “Madagascar” and a nearby school. Our neighbor, Hannah, had a small role as a flamingo and Callie was excited to see her after the show. Maya was crabby and wanted to sit by herself at first. Typical.

Today we went over to Boom’s after church for some relaxed play time.

We ended the weekend with a rousing game of Apples to Apples.

Have a great week!
