Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

Thankfully our weekend was way less chaotic than the show weekend last week.  

Yesterday, despite the chilly temperatures, we enjoyed sunshine both inside and outside. 

We also played a lunchtime game and walked to the library.

And Luna was a luna-tic, as per usual.

This morning we headed over to Boom's for a belated birthday celebration for Chris and Auntie Yoda!  We played games (and made MAJOR messes) and had lunch and cupcakes.

Then later this afternoon we had more cousin time with Mitchell and Isla!

There was more playing and reading books and even a dance party.

And dinner...without bibs.  Oops! 

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

You guys. These are the only pictures I got this week, and they pretty much sum up MN weather in spring.

The girls are now on spring break, and have no fun plans (sorry girls!). I still have one more week of work before my break. It truly feels like ages away. But we will make it. 

Have a great weekend. 

Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today’s Timehop is pretty cool, I think. We went to see our neighbor in the same middle school’s production of Madagascar in 2018. Four years later, Callie was in this year’s show! 

Happy Birthday Uncle Josh!

Have a great one!!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up: The Spongebob Edition!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!  We made it through the marathon Spongebob weekend...barely!  Callie had 4 shows total...I got to see it all 4 times, Maya saw it 3 times, and a BIG thanks to G-ma, Pa and Boom who all saw it twice (and Chris too)!!  And thanks to Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Auntie Cat for coming on Thursday!  We had friends and neighbors attend, too.  So much support for our Cal.  It was always so chaotic after the shows that I didn't get too many pics.

Saturday was the big day- 2 shows.  And as you can see below, she was EXHAUSTED on Saturday morning.  But made it through and we gave Chris his birthday present- a book I put together of 56 people who sent along nice messages for him.  I think he liked it. ;)

After the 3pm show we had dinner with the cast (though actually it was just me and Maya because Cal ate with her friends and Chris helped serve the dinner).  We also got out some energy at the park before the 7pm show.  

All in all, it was a blast!  I'm sure she'll be doing the musical again next year.  

And now she's sad that it is over.  

Today was a recovery day.  The girls played outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

It feels like we need a weekend to recover from our weekend.  I'll leave you with some video clips of the past week or so...some gymnastics, but mostly SARDINE content.  Click here!

Happy birthday Dad, Uncle Dan, & Auntie Yoda!!!

Dad and Uncle Dan are 40 today!!!!!!!!!!!

And happy birthday to Auntie Yoda!!!! (She has a few more years until 40…).


We hope you all have an awesome day!

A Picture Update

Ohmygoodness this week has been crazy. Here are the pics:

Monday and Tuesday- the only nights at home.

Wednesday- Callie's first SpongeBob performance (last dress rehearsal) and Pa brought her flowers and some sardines (she is Sardine Devotee #5 in the show!).  Chris offered her $100 to eat one...and she declined.  Ha!

Yesterday was officially OPENING NIGHT!  We got her an Edible Arrangements to celebrate.  

Opening night was AWESOME!  

She has a show tonight and two more tomorrow, so come back on Sunday for more Spongebob content in the Weekend Wrap-Up. 

It’s also a HUGE day tomorrow…Chris turns 40 (and Uncle Dan…and Auntie Yoda has a birthday too!).

So much happening! Pray for us on Sunday as we all try and recover. EEEEEEEEK! 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Yay! It’s St. Patty’s Day! We are wearing green for Nana!

And, as usual, it’s a fun reason to look back over the years!

Timehop Tuesday (on Wednesday)

Definitely missed that it was Tuesday yesterday! So here we have a Timehop from the start of the pandemic to now. Sisterly love at its finest!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hello! We had a lovely weekend. The big event of yesterday for me and Chris was an actual gosh darn DOUBLE DATE. Out in the world! We met our friends Jenna and Andy out for a double birthday dinner (Jenna and Chris are 1 year minus 4 days apart!) at a sushi place, and then went to WAITRESS!! (Yes, again…my 4th time and Chris’ 3rd!). I did not order sushi, however.  I got vegetable tempura.  Which just ended up looking like a fried salad.  But it was delicious.

The girls slept over at Boom’s house and had a great time, as per usual!

Then we enjoyed time outside. 

Come on spring!!

A Picture Update

Hi everyone-

My picture updates are getting VERY LAME. I just don’t take many pics during the week anymore. So much going on (and so much LESS cooperation). But here’s what I got!

Luna faces:

Trying to get ahold of the tween in our household who likes to ignore us when she’s upstairs:

Chaos while watching Survivor:

And morning sunrays:

Have a good weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

Happy International Women’s Day!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a nice weekend. Here are the pics!

Swimming with G-ma!

Walking/running with Luna!

Watching the first part of "West Side Story," then listening to the soundtrack and wanting to re-listen to the song "Maria" to count how many times he sings "Maria" and then realizing it was HARD because he sang it 31 TIMES!

A lot more snow overnight.

Fun at Boom's house with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, Lucy, Mila and Auntie Mari!

Dinner and projects with Pa.

And finally...a fun little secret we've been keeping.  This crew is going to be growing by one at the end of August...Auntie Mari and Uncle Josh are expecting a baby!  The only question is...WILL A BOY INFILTRATE THIS GIRL GANG?!?!?


Callie dubbed the baby "Baby Weasley" (of Harry Potter fame) because this kid just HAS to have red hair, right?!?

Callie QOTD

Cal and I watched the first part of the new West Side Story tonight.

I told her Bops played a Jet in a production A LONG time ago and we both giggled.

And then, there was a scene at the school dance where there’s a shot of a teacher on the edge bopping up and down and looking like she wants to dance. I told Cal that was me at the high school dances I chaperoned (except actually I definitely did some dance as a chaperone).

She said “MOM. I’d be SO EMBARRASSED watching you dance.” 

Challenge Accepted. 

For being a 98% introvert, dancing at weddings, etc. is my 2% extroversion.

Gotta find a wedding to go to or somehow infiltrate a future school dance…🤣

A Picture Update

Happy Friday! Another busy week has come and gone…

We got a bit of warmer weather, I went in to a restaurant for the first time in months, and Maya made an art project.

And then some hair changes…!! The girls were home today and decided to dye Cal’s hair purple (I had bought her hair dye spray for her musical…didn’t expect her to use it yet and then I got this picture texted to me…ha!), and Maya got a haircut.

Have a great weekend!
