Grandpa Mike's Birthday Party

 We had fun celebrating Grandpa Mike's birthday on Friday.  First, we had to test out the new golf cart.

 We had fun riding through the plum trees.

"It's time for dinner, everyone!"

 Ethan and Victor had lots of fun together - especially when they got to sing "Happy Birthday" to grandpa!

 Macie getting ready for night-night time.  She's got her favorite things - milk, blanket, and Jessie nightgown.

 A spontaneous game of "Ring Around the Rosy."

 Enjoying being outside.

 We went to the Minnesota Children's Museum a couple weeks ago.  It was so packed that we could barely stand it.  We made it an hour there, and then we got very lucky and ran into my good friend, Katherine, and her two kiddos!  We left the museum and ate together at McDonald's.  Very fun! 

Grant and Ethan enjoyed their chocolate milk together.

 While we were at the museum, the kids enjoyed playing guitars, dancing, and watching themselves on TV.

Puddle Jumping

Yesterday we had such inviting puddles in our driveway that I actually encouraged the kids to put on their rain boots and enjoy themselves. (I didn't realize at the time how muddy those mud puddles really were).  Macie was really enjoying herself, and was really workin' the camera, so I made the activity into a little photo shoot.

Ethan preferred getting some scooter time in over jumping in the muddy mess.  I'm so excited for more beautiful weather and chances to make memories with the kids outside!
