Spring Break #1

Happy Birthday Laura!

She's 9! She's 9!
I lieu of an actually party, she brought a friend (Cherry) to the Mall of America amusement park for the day. So fun!

They got stuck at the top of this ride for about 10 minutes. Someone barfed and the ride worker stopped it, but couldn't get it back down. Extra excitement!

The waits were longer than usual, and Laura was still recuperating from being sick a few days earlier. 

Their energy level may have been lower than normal.

We had our family celebration the next day.

Lemon cake with raspberry frosting

Happy Birthday, Love!

Art Night

The kids' school had Art Night last night. I took pictures to show Jim, so I'll show you too!

Laura had also made a video I don't currently have a copy of right now.

Paint Nite

Went to a Paint Nite event tonight with a good friend. They provide the supplies, location, and instructions. You provide the wine. So fun! And I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome!

Spring has sprung!

St Patrick's Day aftermath

My favorite part of this morning is that Adam gathered up the 'ropes' and sent them back to the leprechauns with a sweet note.

St Patrick's Day 2015

This Leprechaun Trap tradition has gotten out of hand.

A slide coated with wax paper leading to a funnel, leading to a cup filled with water.

A coin precariously taped on top of a hole so you fall in when you try to steal it.

A coin suspended directly over a funnel so you fall in when you jump to steal it.

A good old fashioned coin taped to the bottom of a sealed up big box with a hole on the top and a sign pointing towards the coin.

A car with a seat belt and coin steering wheel and double sided tape on the seat.

Wonder what will happen?
