Good Times...Right?

Image
By
Ava had spring break this week, and while we didn't go anywhere exciting as a family, she had a ton of fun each day at SAC.  We loved hearing about all of the fun things that she did during her daily adventures.  Needless to say, I think she had more fun that anyone else did this past week!
  • Monday: arcade/mini golf/bumper cars/batting cages
  • Tuesday: bowling
  • Wednesday: gymnastics
  • Thursday: Good Times Park (indoor playground)
  • Friday: Como Zoo (the highlight for Ava was seeing a spider monkey and a zebra both pee...sigh)
Even with all of that fun, she is excited to get back to school tomorrow and have her computer class, along with library, music, PE, etc. I'm just excited not to have to pack her a lunch each day.  That's one of those things where it takes less than 10 minutes, but I dread doing it.  Thank goodness for hot lunch at school!

I'm not sure if this is a sad giraffe, or a really angry one...
 Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think she's trying to give the death stare. Yikes.


In the meantime, G was off biting a little girl at daycare this week.  Fun for him probably, but not so much fun for the little one who has a bruised arm.  Ugh.  Her mom is a teacher, so she understands the whole biting thing, but I feel horrible!  I did poke around his mouth a little bit yesterday, and both of his first molars are popping through on the top, so I'm sure that's part of what's causing the biting. Plus, he's been trying to put his entire fist in his mouth to chew on it so I'm thinking that they are bothering him quite a bit.

Oh!  Scott did have an exciting part to his week.  He's been wanting a popcorn machine forever (like, seriously, forever) and he finally bought one.  It was delivered on Friday, and he and Ava enjoyed some really tasty popcorn on Friday night.  My only concern was that we find a permanent home for it outside of the kitchen...so, it will be a great addition to our family room/bar in the basement (once it's finished.)  Yay!


Now, it's time to make some coffee, breakfast, and spend some time with the fam!

Exploring Local Places

By
Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

By
The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit.  This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage.  Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough.  I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together.  They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so!  We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge.  I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm.  And of course, Ava wa...

Preparing for Vacation

By
We had a low key week, which is rare in this house. Oh sure, there were fun field trips at Summer Power, a visit to the splash pad on a hot day, and a few crazy, rain storms, but it was an easy week. Well, there was that one time when we were out for dinner with G (Ava was with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Doug for an overnight stay and a trip to the Dakota County Fair - fun!) and G decided to hide behind my chair and puke all over me and the floor (at the restaurant.) Ugh. The good news is that he was just too full of chocolate milk...no illness! A quiet week, once in a while, is an okay thing! We're starting to prep for our vacation to the Wisconsin Dells...we don't take too many family vacations, so this is a big event for us. (Funny, I took a break from writing this post as Scott just asked me about planning a trip to Disney...we were debating the differences between going to California vs. Florida...pros and cons to each!) Yesterday, I showed G a video from one of the wat...
