Children's Museum

We took a trip to the Minnesota Children's Museum in St. Paul on Sunday to celebrate my birthday. Honestly, we only went that day because it was Target Free Sunday, so all we had to pay was for parking. Nice! The kids enjoyed it as usual. Emma loved the chalkboard. Out of all the exciting things there, that was her favorite. And Alex loved the water play area the most. He asked to go there first. Sometime this summer, the Wizard of Oz exhibit is coming, so I'm sure we'll be returning when it comes.

Horse'n Around Playing Hockey

It's Final Five time here for the WCHA, and Alex is into full-swing practicing his hockey skills. We watched the Minnesota State Hockey Tournament last weekend, so he picked up a lot of pointers for his own play. He just put on his roller skates and off he went! He even skates better than Emma! Our neighbor told us to start saving our money now so we can afford the hockey leagues later...

Spring is Here!

I guess I have been slacking a little on my scrapbooks. Well, I finally have something to take a picture of - Spring! It was 60º here yesterday (Sunday), but silly me got so giddy that I forgot to take my camera outside. We even grilled out, it was that nice. Nothing says warmer weather like some carcinogens on your food! The kids and I ventured outside this afternoon. It was cloudy but still 52º. They were so happy to open up their playhouse and to be able to play in the sandbox once again. We have a lot of snow mold this year, but that didn't stop us. I got to enjoy some tea and an Agatha Christie book (a whole whopping 2 pages because the kids kept bringing me food from their "cafe"). At least the days are getting longer and it is lighter out later. Now, if only the pool and splash pads would open up, life would be perfect!
