Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Sally's cousin, Lucy, made this at school last week.  How sweet!

Surprise Surprise, we are in for another wintery mix!  We're sick of it, so Reid shoveled out the grill and Sunday we had steaks and tonight we had brats.  Mmmm tastes good, even though it doesn't match the weather.

We had some fun visitors this weekend.  Our good friends the Lindbergs were in town!! The older girls and the dads went out for donuts, while the Moms and Maggie hung back so we could actually catch up in the short time we were together! It felt like old times!! We sure miss you guys and appreciate you stopping by to spend some time!  We hope to make a road trip to visit this summer!!

Crazy to think they met when they were 3 months old and now they're going to Kindergarten next year! They went from 4 blocks away to 4 hours :(

Uncle Poosch was in the area so he stopped by for a visit, he came with gifts! Donuts for the crew and flowers for Mommy!

He captured this cute picture of L trying on his readers

Last week during some of the sunshine we were out playing with Grady!

Elizabeth {I've been calling her that more often, she likes it} is quite the tower builder.  She's got steady hands and a very proud heart! She doesn't get too discouraged if it falls.  She just sings, "Just keep trying, you'll get better."  All you Daniel Tiger watchers would know the song :)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Happy Birthday Kmart!

Happy Birthday to a Beautiful Friend, inside and out!! So very happy that our paths crossed seven years ago!!  You are truly an amazing friend! I'm so glad we were able to spend the morning together with our crazy girls!!

Make a wish!  We had a delicious brunch at Good Day Café! We even got in some decent conversation even with our sidekicks along!

It was too nice of a morning to be done so we headed out for a walk in the beautiful sunshine!

Thank you for being you Kari. I'm so grateful to call you my friend!!

***The cousin slumber party was a success!  All girls slept until 7am!

Matchy Match! Thanks Grandpa Peggy for the matching dresses!

Discussing Life!

Observing!

Yesterday We got to hang with Haddie for the day!  The girls were obsessed!!

3 musketeers!

Let the girl breath :)

A little chopsticks? :)

Happy Sun Shiny Beautiful day!! Tomorrow's Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiday!

FIFTY DEGREES!!!

Yahooooooooo! We maaaaaaaaade it through the worst! Thank goodness for the sunshine and warmer temps! Even the crazy mud puddles! Love love love this weather!  Someday years from now we'll be able to say, "Yeah, I remember the winter of 2014!!" One for the record books, that's for sure!

The girls have been getting a lot of outside time.  This weekend they were out with Reid while I surprised Jenny for a birthday lunch {and then again Saturday night for her surprise party! Love you JenBen!}!  Sunday we went for a walk and played outside.  Sally got to go outside for part of school today and we went for a walk and played outside this afternoon.  It's glorious!!

The girls are obsessed with a particular Monkey hat, and they found one that is for 0-9 months, it looks pretty ridiculous on Sally...

Happiness, me and my girls

We have a budding reader on our hands.  So much fun to watch her grown and her love for learning!  The first video was her second time reading the story.  Rag can be tricky :)  She was also getting used to having the camera on her.  The second video was her first time through with that story.  Love the B.O.B book series!

Proud of this little lady!

We're having a slumber party tonight with Lucy and Katherine!  Ever since Sally learned of this, she's been bouncing off the walls and telling everyone within earshot!  It's bound to be a great time!  All 4 girls are currently snoozing away!

Cousin Twins, 2 weeks apart :)

Sweet Dreams!! Happy Sunshine, Happy Melting!

Have fun Jenny and Brian, you more than deserve it!!

TGIF!!

Oh, Hi there!  It's Friday, yay!

It's my 3 years older twin seester's birfday today, too!

I hope it's filled with lots of YOU time and cake, maybe some wine too, since you're not pregnant OR nursing, Yay! Love you!

I love the temps, not loving the grayness, but I guess it kind of goes with the season.  Happy Lent! We're off to a fish fry tonight.  I'm not typically a fish person, but I've heard most that aren't "fish people" do indeed enjoy this fish.  We'll see.

We may have had the last EVER back to back school nights for Daddy.  Slowly, but surely we're getting closer to that finish line!!  We had a movie night to celebrate!

So, I cut 6-7 inches off my hair! It was kind of a last minute decision and ummm I kind of love it! I love the simplicity and I love how quickly it takes to do it! win win!


Happy Happy, girls were playing at an awesome free child care at Lifetime, it was a HUGE gym with a crazy amount of awesomeness, not one tear when Mommy left to get her hair did!  Also picked up my $2 Caribou! Thank you Bridget, you're the best!

I got to have a girls night last night.  So fun catching up with Kari and Tiffany.  The time always goes too fast.

The girls enjoyed their time with Daddy.

Sally got her official Kindergarten acceptance letter in the mail this week.  I'm a little bit sad and a lot a bit excited! She's so ready to spread her wings and FLY!

Happy Weekend Ya'll I hope it's splendid!

Strikes and Bumpers

We had a Sunday Funday and went bowling! The girls had a great time and are still talking about it!

Daddy smoked us!!

Sisters-Big Papa-Momsie :)

**Libby got to have her very first very own play date on Monday.  Second born play dates are much easier, they're used to having to share everything, so everyone gets along.  Thanks Tibby for coming over to play!!

**Happy 30th Birthday to JenBen!! Welcome to the 30 club!! xxo

Valentine's Day Make-Up

Since the girls were sick on Valentine's Day, we made it up Saturday night.

We usually go to Famous Dave's for V-Day, but we were in the mood for some Chinese food.  So we hit up our favorite, Great Wall.

It's actually kind of fun to take the girls out to eat now.  They're very well behaved and Reid and I can actually have a conversation.

Thanks Nana for the Barbie and Sofia coloring activities!

After dinner we headed to Target to pick out our favorite ice cream to come back home and eat!  The girls had a lot of fun and so did Mommy and Daddy!  Only true Minnesotans would go looking for ice cream when it's 12 below outside!

We got out and about as much as we could, we're all going nutso with this crazy winter.  Mommy had a relaxing girls night Friday night.  Thank you for hosting Mandy, so great to snuggle one month old Stella!!

Saturday we ventured to the Mall, mommy was able to find a new jacket that was on sale! Saturday night we had our Valentine's Date night.

Sunday morning we went to early Mass since Mommy wasn't EM and Sally didn't have Sunday school.  No one wanted to go home so we headed to Brueggers/Caribou for a little break.  After naps today {I posted late} we might head up to the Tav and go bowling!

March Headers!

YAYAYAYAY It's March, let the melting begin...I hope!!
