This and That

Unexpectedly, I had a stay-cation this week and have been off of work since Wednesday so have spent a lot of time with the kiddos.  I got a lot of things done - like taking Christmas pictures of the kids, ordering Christmas cards, baking bread, cleaning out the playroom, etc. and had a lot of down time with Miles and Hadley - which felt very relaxed.

Besides projects around the house and kiddo time - Mike got out for some beer brewing (and drinking) with friends and I sailed high on a flying trapeze (for the 2nd time) with a friend at Twin Cities Trapeze.

This kid is tackling an At-At Walker lego set for ages 14+ - he's really good. Daddy is mostly helping him with this project but he and I completed 4 pages of instructions on Friday.

We went to Nickelodeon Universe and Rainforest Cafe for a fun mom and me outing.

Although these two are tall enough for the littlest rides, they wanted me to go with them on everything.

The kids are playing in the bath right now and I did a little bath time interviewing.
