MOA Friend Fun Day

So our great friends asked us this morning if we wanted to join them for a fun day at MOA.  We obviously dropped everything we were doing and joined them.   The kids rode rides, played at the Children's Museum and ate yummy mall food.  Love days like these...family, friends and lots of fun!

Wrestling Dad

Since Dad works a lot throughout the week; the kids were so excited to have him home today!  They spent much of their afternoon with Dad either playing games, hide-n-seek, freeze-tag or wrestling one another.

Buddy Bear

Kallen was beyond thrilled last Wednesday when he was the student chosen to take care of his class' special friend, Buddy Bear.  We've had Buddy Bear for the past few years thanks to Elyse and Caleb so Kallen was excited for his turn to take him everywhere and sleep with him every night.  Kallen took amazingly good care of him and never forgot to grab him when we did things.  Sadly Buddy Bear will have to be returned to preschool tomorrow, I'm sure Kallen will be sad but thankfully I don't think there will be any tears.

Glimpse of Spring

When temperatures are in the 40's with sun in Minnesota it feels like spring.  We know we are far away from spring but couldn't help but spend our day outside today.

Flashback to the 80's

This week at the kids' school is "Spirit Week".  Unfortunately they either have been home due to pink eye or have not had apparel to go with the themes.  Thankfully today was decades day and they both were able to participate.  They decided to dress as the 80's similar to Madonna and Marty from Back to the Future.

T-shirts in January?!

After church on Sundays the kids usually get to wear anything they want because we relax at home for the day.  Well it feels like -15 outside but they still insisted on wearing t-shirts. They came down matching, and I don't oppose to their choice of clothing... Go Iowa State!

MOA Fun

Last week we decided to spend a day at MOA.  The kids were great and as we were leaving Nickelodeon Universe we passed by the mini hopper ride and all four could ride on it without a chaperone.  I don't know who was smiling more throughout the ride, the kids or us.
