Happy Easter!

Sending lots of love! 🖤🧡💜🩵

A Picture Update

Hey all.  TGIF!!!  What a weird week.  The girls were on spring break, and I had a snow day on Monday.  We decided to beat the weather and go out to dinner to get out of the house.  

On Tuesday I had an early release and went out to play in the snow with Luna.  Later, Maya played The Floor Is Lava, while we watched the show of that name.

The girls had fun at Boom's house on Wednesday!

I'm finally now on spring break, and we have a fun Easter weekend ahead.  Come back on Monday for the weekend wrap-up!

Me and my girls today!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Snowy Sunday!  

It's been snowing all day here in Minnesota...I was crossing my fingers most of the day that I may FINALLY get an online snow day called for tomorrow.  And then around 5:30pm, I got the text and my wish was granted!  So all four of us will be home tomorrow, with two of us trying to get some work done.  Flashback to COVID days, I guess.  

Our Saturday was SO busy and fun!  We had another birthday party lunch for Dan and Chris, which included an impromptu flute recital from Maya and lots of yummy treats.

Cheers to 42 to the boys!

Isla enjoyed the purple frosting on the cupcake, and later Mitchell spent awhile brushing Callie's hair.

Then came busy Saturday part 2!  Lucy and Mila came over for a sleepover, and Boom stopped by, as well as G-ma.  G-ma found the mannequin for Callie at an estate sale!  She loves fashion and has been draping and pinning dress designs ever since.

All the girls had fun playing up in the toy room and then in Maya's room.  They wouldn't let me hang out with them in the basement after dinner, so I just sat in the quiet living room drinking wine.  I wasn't sad about it. Maya had a full room, but they did great sleeping all together.

This morning they played and did a little Choo Choo train around the living room.

Today was the opposite of yesterday...we had no plans, stayed in our jammies, and just relaxed for most of the day while the snow came down.

Have a good week!  

A Picture Update

Hey all. TGIF!

Chris spent the week in Arizona with my Uncle Jim and Aunt Coco. He sent me this lovely sunset pic.

As for me and the girls, we went to Boom’s on Monday night for Auntie Yoda’s birthday dinner.

Another night I made tacos while Maya and Luna took silly pictures. 

And then some field running before the snow.

Apparently Sunday and Monday will bring some interesting weather, so the girls may start their spring break in a snow storm! 

Have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Uncle Josh!

The March birthday train continues! Happy birthday to Josh!

We love you and hope you had a great day! 

Timehop Tuesday: The Big Birthday Edition!

March 19th is always a big day, so here’s a Timehop of a Timehop that shows the big 3 birthdays on this day:

Happy birthday Uncle Dan and Auntie Yoda! We love you and hope you had a great day…

And then one more of this birthday guy…these crazy kids, from what I’m guessing is 1997/2023…

Happy birthday to the best partner, friend and dad there is! ❤️

Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

As usual, we are wearing green for Nana!

And a little time travel…

We had a busy weekend! On Friday night I took Callie to her first concert! We had a blast. 

Chris was our chauffeur for the evening, so Maya spent the evening at Boom’s house with her AND G-ma!

Becasue everyone had late night Friday night, Saturday was very chill. 

Today we went to church to see Boom play the flute, and then I made a pasta dish for an early birthday party for Chris and Dan.

This afternoon we went swimming and had dinner and yummy dessert for the boys’ upcoming birthday!

Have a good week! The girls have one more week until spring break…and I still have two more weeks! 

A Picture Update

Hey all-

This week has flown by and it feels like I don’t know how we got here! It was a busy week, so the only pictures I have are from wandering around Centennial Lakes.

Have a good weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

I cleaned out a bookshelf last weekend and found an old photo album with these gems from the early aughts.

Happy Timehop Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all-

Happy Sunday!  Here are the weekend pics...

Friday night snuggles before bedtime, Saturday morning sunrise, and an early birthday gift from Auntie Cat.

Then we have crazy cousin time, where Maya taught Isla how to fart with her mouth.

Here was my view during a "relaxing" savasana pose after yoga this morning. She was hungry.

We watched basketball at Boom's and met the other cousins at the zoo!

And we saw the beautiful conservatory flowers, too.

While Callie was at a friend’s house, we had dinner and played the meme game with G-ma!

A Picture Update

Hey all!  Happy Friday!  I have an unusually high number of pictures for my usual Friday post this week.  Must be March! 

The girls were off school on Monday and Tuesday, so they spent Monday at Boom's house with Mila!

Then on Super Tuesday, Callie sent me this photo, which I find adorable, and then I went to vote.

Before church on Wednesday, Maya came with me for a quick run.  The sky was lovely.

On Thursday Caribou came out with a LAVENDER menu (my fave latte flavor) so I got a big one for my professional development day at work, and then I was able to enjoy a quick solo walk at Nokomis before meeting friends for happy hour.

I had today off, so I did some bedroom organization, including rainbow-atizing my books on our bookshelf.

I’ll leave you with an adorable picture I got from Hanna from last weekend.

Have a good weekend!

Fun with the Johnson-Knapp cousins!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a nice weekend.

Yesterday morning I spent what felt like hours making batches and batches of egg salad.  My family would say it smelled like I made it for hours as well.  Chris took care of our neighbors' chickens this past week, so we had DOZENS of eggs.  So I used 28 of them to make a bunch of batches.  And enjoyed some delicious sandwiches and gave some away.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Boom's house, where Maya had a flute lesson and even performed a little for Avery via FaceTime.

We watched the movie "Billy Elliot", so on our way home, the girls were dancing down the halls.

This morning Maya and I took advantage of the lovely spring weather to try out my new pickle ball set.  If you want to see four minutes of her pickle ball shenanigans, click here.

Tonight we had another leftovers dinner and Gosselin cousins playtime. 

Have a good week!
