Memorial Weekend

This weekend flew by way too fast but we had a lot of fun and I actually feel refreshed and ready to start my summer schedule at work. I teach an EXSS Swim class for the next 2 weeks and then our big children swim lesson program starts after that. It is busy but always a nice change from more normal work tasks!

We were busy and saw lots of people over the weekend. Saturday morning Robert and I went to the Farmer's Market in Minneapolis and met up with my Aunt Sally, Uncle Joe, and cousin Mary and her husband Oz. It was a quick visit but fun to see them and we got lots of yummy and cheap fruit! That afternoon we traveled to Red Wing and spent lots of time helping my mom shop for a new mini-laptop and a new phone. The next day we visited with 2 of my best friends and their husbands and kids. Last year when we got together over Memorial Weekend there were only 2 kids but now there are 5 kids and it was so great to see them all interact, even if two are still really little! It is so nice to all have kids around the same age and I look forward to seeing the kids grow up together. From that get together we headed home since our kids seem to sleep the best at home and got both kids to bed on time and both slept peacefully all night long!! Today we started the morning in our PJs with waffles and watching Little Mermaid during the thunderstorm. Once the rain cleared out Nick came over and we took the kids to the park and then Eric's friend Chris joined all of us for dinner. Now the kids are in bed, Nick went home, and Eric went out for a beer with Chris...best part of all is that I have a quiet and clean house to do nothing but relax in. Perfect end to the weekend!



Izzy discovered the sandbox this week...uh oh!

Walking to the park is a lot easier with Robert helping!

During dinner the busy weekend caught up with Robert and the next thing we knew he had fallen asleep on his chair. Poor little guy!

This week and coming there is NoThInG on our agenda and I am so excited for that and hope the weather is nice so we can continue getting outdoors. Have a great week everyone!

I love that he got so tired he fell asleep on the chair! What is Robert's favorite thing at the park?

Adelle likes grass too but doesn't like to walk in long grass. She whines until we put her on the curb or sidewalk. She also looks like she's marching! Adorable!

Lately his favorite thing is the mini climbing wall they have to get to the slides. It so amazing how much they change in a year and all the new adventures he can partake in this year. :)
