Hoppy Easter!

It's been a wonderful holiday weekend, filled with fun times with friends and family.  I had a chance to head out with a friend on Friday night and catch up for a bit.  At about 9pm, I hit my wall, and we both decided it was time to head home.  But, regardless, it was great to be out and enjoy a Friday night with a friend!

Scott worked all day on Saturday, but when he got home, we packed up the kids and headed out to a nice dinner as a family.  G was a hit at the restaurant, as all of the staff kept coming by to say hi and check on him.  And he even got to practice his flirting skills with our cute, blond server.  Whenever she was around, he couldn't take his eyes off of her.  And he even yelled "HI!" at her from across the bar.  Oh boy...

Today was a flurry of activity...the Easter Bunny came, and Ava was so, so patient, and waited until after G was up before really digging into her Easter basket.  G did really well and found 5 eggs on his own during the egg hunt, although, I'm pretty sure that he thought they were just funny shaped balls.  And THEN, one of them popped open and jelly beans went flying everywhere!  But, he was just as happy to carry around an empty egg. :)

We had fun coloring eggs, and then headed out to Scott's Uncle Dale's house for the traditional Easter gathering.  It was calm and low-key, and there was great food.  It was a perfect way to spend a holiday afternoon.  The weather wasn't as nice as last year's Easter get together, but at least it wasn't snowing!

Oh boy, he's learning so early...


Silly Scott!

Love Ava's face, the fact that G is eye-ing up Ava's basket, silly Lucky sneaking in to attack...and then there's a runaway orange egg.


A rainbow of egg dye!


 

The kids are hyped up on sugar, and little G missed his afternoon nap.  I'm thinking it's going to be an early bedtime tonight for all!  Happy Easter!

Bricks and Birthdays

Last Sunday, G and I headed off to the Minneapolis Brick Convention to see everything LEGOs! Ever since I bought the tickets, months ago, he couldn't wait to check it out. I was so happy that it was held at a location not too far from home, because it was snowing as we were driving there. Overall, it was a pretty neat experience. There were some amazing brick creations, and of course there was an opportunity to buy LEGO pieces! G has been on a 1980's spaceman kick, so he ended up getting Benny, the blue spaceman (from The LEGO movie), as well as Jenny, the white space(wo)man, as well. Once he had those two new pieces in hand, he was able to focus more on all of the cool builds they had displayed in the convention. It was pretty crowded, so after we were done, I was quite happy to get out of the building into a quiet car. More and more, I'm hitting my limit of "peopling" at an earlier point during each crowded event I go to. But, I did it for G, and he loved it! (I

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se
