No School Fun Day

The kids did not have school today for unknown reasons to me, but we decided to enjoy our day off and make it a "Fun Day"!  The kids asked to go to the Science Museum again and it was a perfect day to go.  Since most kids in the area did have school, it was very empty.  The kids were constantly moving either by making things or playing with all sorts of new stuff; as evident in my pictures by them never looking.  

After the museum we decided to surprise Dad at his office and he then surprised us by taking us across the street to DQ for some yummy dipped cones.  😊  Overall, we had a great day!

A Spring Teaser

I have a love hate relationships for days like today. 60 degrees in February feels amazing and we enjoy every minute outdoors; but sadly it is Minnesota and next week when it's back to normal 30s, it feels nothing but artic.

Happy Valentine's Day 💗

Sending you lots of love, hugs and kisses!

Mini Elyse

This morning Ian went to the extreme to be like his sister. He is wearing her old Dora pajamas and her new glasses, while using her lip gloss. Adorable!

Daddy-Daughter Ball

Elyse has been excited about this night for weeks.  Legacy Christian Academy had their annual "Daddy-Daughter Ball" and so she and Dad spent their night hanging out with friends and dancing the night away.  They both had a blast and I maybe bias but I believe they were the best looking couple there.

2nd Grade Baby Shower

I have said it before and know I will say it again, I LOVE the kiddos school and teachers.  Elyse's teacher, Mrs. McBroom is amazing and we are beyond grateful for her.  Unfortunately she is due with her first baby boy any day and will be going on maternity leave until next fall, we will deeply miss her.  Therefore, the students and parents threw her a surprise baby shower this morning right when school began.  Each kid bought her a new baby book (it's incredible that there was not one duplicate), gave her some baby gifts and ate baby donuts to celebrate.  Elyse has been looking forward to this day for weeks now, plus it was Legacy's "Comfy Reading Friday", so kids got to bring a pillow, blanket and stuffed animal, and wear pjs to school.  
(If curious, Elyse gave, "Little Blue Truck" as her book 😊)

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!
