A Picture Update

Happy Friday!

Monday morning: The Daylight Savings change has taken a toll on this one this week. She doesn’t want to go to bed at night and doesn’t want to wake up in the morning!

Monday afternoon: It was light out and sunny after work (first time in FOREVER) so I thought it would be a great time to try my first outdoor run in months. 

Many of you are probably (correctly) thinking to yourselves, “Kati, that sounds like a terrible idea because of all of the snow and ice.” And you would be correct. It was a disaster.

Tuesday evening: It was Reading Night at the girls’ school, so we went there for dinner and a variety of reading activities.

Wednesday evening: I got to see little Lucy for a bit after work...

...and then Mom, Laura and I went to see MICHELLE OBAMA!!!! Her book tour made a stop at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul and it was an amazing evening listening to her inspiring, genuine, thoughtful, and hilarious message of hope.

The rest of the week was pretty chill. So I’ll leave you with my thoughts on being 5 weeks in to half marathon training only almost exclusively the treadmill:

Have a great weekend! Everyone remember to wear green for Nana on St. Patty’s day on Sunday!

Timehop Tuesday

First up, Callie (circa late 2011) and Lucy in the same jammies! I tried to find Maya wearing them too, but they were the wrong season and she has never been a footie jammies girl (unlike her sister).

Then, it appears like it was lovely outside a few years ago.

And lastly, similarly, it would have been Kona Hope’s 13th birthday today. We love our boxers!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday everybody!  We had a relaxing weekend doing the normal stuff.

Our weekly 7:30am Target run on Saturday morning was great because they girls are big enough to push the cart for me.  Callie was thrilled, as you can see.

Then Maya and I took Luna for a snowy walk.  The snow mountains are STILL gigantic!

After dance we went over to G-ma and Pa's house.  They had some interesting Japanese treats and SPACE ICE CREAM to try.

This morning my mom and Bob sent me pictures of the lovely snow/sleet/rain disaster that happened overnight.  It sure was pretty...and I added a picture of our tree too.



Laura and Lucy came over this morning for some play time.  Lucy tried to fit *IN* the Barbie Dreamhouse, and also tried to "hide" from Chris.  She's the best!



Then we got the girls all bundled up in snow pants...



And went sledding!  We didn't last long, as Lucy is NOT a fan.



The rest of the day we spent at home working on homework, cleaning, playing, reading, and Callie even tried out the treadmill.




We also played Charades, so look for some funny clips in my videos from the weekend.  The girls are really getting into games now.  We play Outburst Junior before bed every night.  It is so fun!

Have a great week!

Happy Friday! The girls had a short week at school, which included spirit week. Monday was sporty day, Tuesday was crazy hair day, and Wednesday was hat day!

Wednesday afternoon G-ma took the girls to the Bakken Museum!

Today they hung out with Boom!

Other stuff...dogs!

Callie is doing the science fair and we had the girls’ conferences.

Cal and I had dinner with Lucy!

And we went to hit golf balls tonight!

I’ll leave you with some silly Lucy videos and golf videos.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Tuesday!

Another winter with SO MUCH SNOW.

And then...Mexico babies! In December, Lucy was the same age that Maya was when we were in Mexico for Laura and Craig’s wedding 4 years ago.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

It’s FREAKING FREEZING AND IT IS MARCH.

Thag is all I’ll say about that.

Yesterday we played hooky from dance class so we could go to the Walker for their “First Free Saturday” for kids with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, and Lucy. Lucy loved running around and Callie and Maya were equal parts entertained and embarrassed. Ha! 

This month was a kids film festival, so we got to see a handful of short animated films for kids, and they were all very different and fun. 

We went back to Boom’s house for lunch and some reading time.

Today I didn’t really take pictures. The girls went to Sunday School with Chris and then to a movie, and then it was dinner and bedtime! 

We did manage to get a few short videos of Luna, though.  Click here! 

Have a great week! Stay warm if you live in the northern tundra!

Happy Snowy Friday! I don’t have too much for you this week. 

Some more silly pictures from the iPad photographer:

Some snow pictures:

Some Callie and Luna pictures:

Maya’s class earned a fun reward of being able to bring a toy to school. They do such fun things in Kindergarten!

And the last of my February pics of the day:

Have a great weekend!
