I keep getting distracted by freeze tag.

Owen was complaining about not getting a swing at school and when I asked him why he never got one, this was his reply.

If there is a phrase to describe our weekend, it is Happy Birthday. Owen has been to three parties this weekend and there is one more this afternoon. Its been a great weekend for him! Yesterday we realized he didn't eat lunch, just two helpings of cake and ice cream.

We went out to Lake Nokomis for the fishing opener last weekend and Walter caught his first fish. He actually caught 3 before deciding digging in the sand was more enjoyable.

On Monday we celebrated Great Grandma Donna's 85th birthday. She and Bruce are 85 and no one ever knows where they are still as they are always jet setting around the globe! It was an extra special night as cousin Isabelle was in town to help celebrate.

You are one silly Mommy, Mom.

Oh sweet, sweet Walter...

And oh, sweet, sweet progress! The Muffin Man has torn out the wall separating our existing kitchen and addition and put in the header that will offer support instead of a wall. Every time I walk into that room I feel like we've moved to the burbs! It just feels so huge!

We got to see my cousin from Colorado this weekend, and a few other close by cousins, too. We met at the MOA and watched the kids smile and laugh on rides. Owen is an adventurous man and loves the crazy rides, thankfully Jer is willing to go on with him, as I, am not.

Ta-tay-moes

This is how Walter says potatoes. Cute, huh?!

It was an exciting day in the construction department here...we have a new patio door! I thought I should share some progressive photos. Don't let the adorable kids in the first photo trick you, the room was not cute and will be much more functional when its all said and done!

(free babysitting...well, kind of!)

Can we go to the tile shop after the doctor?

Walter asked me this yesterday. This question pretty much sums up my life over the past few weeks...tile shops and doctor visits!

We had a lovely weekend together celebrating May Day. Saturday the boys and I made May Day baskets at Bachmann's and then went around the neighborhood delivering them. Sunday we went to the May Day parade at Powderhorn Park. Its a big peace love party and is so fun to people watch at!
