Luke and his class went on a field trip to the Vanhoosen Farm here in Rochester!
Luke playing with the "old time" toys. He even made one of these out of a Dixie cup and popsicle stick to bring home. He practiced all night trying to get the ball in the cup and at last he got it in a couple of times. Thank goodness!
When the kiddos are downstairs by themselves they always come back up with the silliest game, dance or song to show me. I never know what surprise I am in for. Today, it was Ninjas meet Star Wars.
The brown chair is everyone's favorite spot.
Birthday party #2 out of a series of parties. Ben has been a trooper because with me at the church on the weekends, he is taking them. This is Vaida's party at Pump-It-Up. She is one Luke's best buddies at school!
Ugh, after another sort of series...a series of illnesses, we are back to healthy around here. After the stomach bug hitting everyone but Elle, Drew was then hit with pneumonia, a double ear infection and bronchitis all at the same time. Poor fella just wanted Mama's lap. Thankfully, we caught it in time with and so we only needed breathing treatments, a steroid, and Amoxicillan. Below is the first day Drew was bouncing back to his regular, happy self. I am so thankful for Dr.s and meds!
Luke getting ready for his 100th Day of School celebration! Here he is counting his Skittles to make sure he has 100. He started counting but putting them in groups of 10. Smart kiddo!
Elle was also at the counter getting ready for her Valentine's Day party at "church school"! She sat there and signed her name to all 20 Valentine's. I was so proud of her!
This is what her signature looks like. Her E's are very fancy with a lot of prongs coming out of the side. :)
And Drew was just sitting in the middle eating puffs, sipping on water and being chill.
That's it, folks. Our counter is all filled up!
And the next day...Elle had a GREAT time at her party! She loved opening all of her Valentines!
The next day Gma and Papa Uitti came over BECAUSE we were getting ready to head over to the Meadowbrook Mansion to be a part of Uncle Chad's and Auntie Meg's proposal!
