Conner Update

I had the honor of partaking in an amazing breakfast this morning with my little man at his school. The chairs were very tiny, I had to sit side ways because I couldn't get my legs under the little table, so cute! The food was deletable, blue berry pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, juice, croissants, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and lots of fruit. What does my Conner choose amongst all this, CEREAL! Yep, oh well it was so fun to listen to all the kids, each one so proud to show off their parents, it’s such an awesome place. This happens to be a week of celebration, every Lutheran preschool nationwide is doing this. Conner's been able to wear pajamas all week and bring a stuffed animal, they are watching movies and having popcorn, a costume party and I think Friday is the big bash and crazy hair day. I'm not looking forward to next week when he has to go back to wearing clothes!

Thought I'd share something funny, most mornings our 30 (sometimes 40) minute commute includes a little treat for Conner. It's a quick drive for me the driver, not so much for Conner the passenger so a healthy snack makes it awesome for him. This week's snack is extra cheddar fish crackers, he loves these so each morning he leaves with his little baggie. Monday he tells me that he's not going to eat them all and save one for on the way home. I didn't really hear him, paying attention to all the crazy drivers, so my mind only processed him saying, "I am going to save some." Well when I pick him up he's all happy like always, we buckle him in and off we go. A minute later he asks for his cracker bag so I grab it and tell him that he ate them all this morning, to which Conner replies "No I didn't I have one left!" Sure enough I look at the ziplock bag and here is one lowly little fish! I laughed so hard and smiled the rest of the way home. My little miracle man gives me such wonderful gifts, this one being laughter! Thank you Lord for the two precious gifts!!!!!!

Going Gray!

So as we relaxed just the two of us last night, kids tucked in bed, I looked over at my hubby and noticed he appeared to have battled a spray gun full of white paint at work and lost. Upon further inspection, no paint, at the ripe old age of 35, he's going gray, and FAST! I swear he wasn't that gray in Church on Sunday. So I ask my wonderful husband who is the least vain man I know whether this bothers him and should I pick up a color, he responded "yes." I think he looks very handsome with that peppered look. So here it begins........

Lake Gilchrist 2010

We ended February with a bang, the annual weekend up at Grandma's cabin celebrating Jan-Feb b-days! Just so happened it landed on Luke's actual birthday so that made it even more special. It was full of amazing food, movies, sledding, ice fishing, snow mobiling, and great conversations, what an amazing time. I have a few snapshots from the weekend but nothing of the fishing crew that spent the weekend on the frozen tundra in pursuit of fish. Largely because I was out having a blast pulling the kiddos on sleds behind the snowmobile, what great time that was, even had ourselves a bit of a camp fire too. Thanks Grandma for the use of your beautiful cabin and to everyone for the many great memories we will take away from this awesome weekend!

Mall of America 2010

What fun we had with all these munchkins! We arrived at the mall around 9:20am and walked out the door just after 8pm. So many giggles, screams, and "let's do that again!" were uttered, it really was hard to leave. We will forever treasure each second and cherish what it felt like to be a kid a again, young at heart to be sure!
