Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Birthday Mila!!

First up, this girl is FOUR today!!!!



Happy Birthday Mila!! We love you and we’re happy we got to help you celebrate today!

As for the rest of the weekend…I went for an actual (albeit short) run yesterday morning for the first time in a looooong time. And then decided to sign up for a 10K in May to get my butt in gear again.



Boom picked Maya up from dance to take her to MOA to spend her Christmas Lego Store gift card…with a bonus of a Chipotle lunch and a couple of rides!



G-ma came over later for dinner and games, and then Chris and Callie went out for an evening ski session (on very fake snow because Minnesota is snow-less right now).



Today Auntie Cat, Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla came over for lunch, and then we went to Richardson Nature Center for an outdoor adventure!




Later it was time to head over to Mila’s birthday party!!



Just like Callie at 4, Mila did not enjoy the birthday song very much! 


Have a good week! It is hard to believe January is almost over and we have  NO SNOW! 

I’ll leave you with a few minutes of Maya playing her flute, with some hilarious bloopers:  click here!

And then some videos from the past few weeks:

A Picture Update

Hey all.
 
It’s been a bit of a doozy of a week so I don’t have too much. 

I always have too many drinking receptacles on my desk. God bless wine. And thank goodness for the rare opportunity (for me) to work from home today so we could have a slower paced morning before sending the girls to school and I could then work from the couch with a furry friend. 


Have a good weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! 

We had a really nice and low-key weekend. On Saturday we stayed around the house and I was able to catch up on cleaning and laundry, but also got a little relaxation in too. Then the Dahlen’s came over for tacos!


Pa came over this weekend to make clay figures with the girls (what he got them for Christmas), along with legos and some cards. I went out to the Guthrie with Jenna to see the show “Art.” It was great! 


And now another busy week starts…at least this week the weather will be in the balmy 30s.

A Picture Update

This week was a blur of crazy busy days at work and home and car issues and negative temps. 

The only photo I got was when Maya and I were watching a dinosaur show (Prehistoric Planet, really realistic renderings of dinosours in a documentary/history type nature show). It showed a dinosaur (which, again, was obviously not a real dino) was eating another dead dinosaur and I couldn’t handle watching it and Maya was like “Mom, it’s just nature. It happens all the time.”


Yup. That sums up the week. 

Have a good weekend!
