Game time!

I was solo parenting (Nathan was gone to Minneapolis to watch the Vikings) and it turned out to be one busy weekend.  Today we went straight from Sophia's girl team practice, to Jacob's game, to Olivia's practice, to Sophia's game, then a short break until I drove Emma & Sophia to their Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe cast party.  Thankfully nothing overlapped and everything got done!

After initially being a bit nervous to go to the chiropractor again (it had been a long time, and he didn't remember it), now Jacob loves it!  This actually wasn't even his turn - he had gone with me the day before, and today I brought the girls (since there was no school).  He was hoping to get to go again, but no such luck!

It's freezing cold outside, but it sure is beautiful.  Glory to our Creator!

No explanation necessary.

The Christmas brunch buffet at Coffee Connections this morning - delicious!

11.25.13

The baby blanket I made for Emma's teacher and his wife for the arrival of their 3rd child.  It is so super soft - now Olivia wants one exactly like it.

11.24.13

Lunch out at BP with friends after church.  This was the "little" kid table.

11.23.13

And the tree is up!
And with minimal arguing too :)

Picture fail - twice in one week. 

But, since this is a cute picture and I want to be able to use it.....here is one from the next day

We were wondering why there was increased security at this game - turns out the PM came to watch the Jets play.

Someone lost a tooth at lunch at the restaurant today!

11.19.13

Forgot to take a picture today. :(

For some reason unpacking is never as fun as packing.

11.17.13

We had such a fun time at the game!  We totally drowned out the home crowd, much to their frustration.  Unfortunately, we didn't pull out a win.

11.16.13

Today we were off to Minneapolis to watch the Jets play.  And you can't drive to Minneapolis without stopping at the outlets Albertville. It's the law.

11.15.13

Emma was Aslan's Follower #1 (rabbit) and Sophia was in the Witch's Army in our church's production of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.  Tonight was the first of two performances and they did fantastic!

11.14.13

Praying for the children that will receive the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes we packed.

11.12.13

Checking out the Jets store and doing a little Christmas shopping while the older girls were at Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe practice.

11.11.13

Emma helped me decorate Sesame Street cupcakes for our birthday party theme at Coffee Connections tomorrow morning - couldn't have gotten it all done without her!  

11.10.13

Jacob's first ever hockey game - he was so excited!
And, for the icing on the cake - he scored his first goal during his first game!

11.9.13

Shootout time!

11.8.13

Sophia's the king of the world!

Or at least of the Nonesuch in the MB Museum during a school field trip.

11.7.13

DIY pedicure - starting to chip already but not too bad for freehanding the design.

11.6.13

Schoolyard injury - stick to the face.  Sure it won't be the last injury inflicted by rambunctious boys playing at recess!

11.5.13

Bringing Dad and Grandpa coffee at work.

Technically this wasn't taken today, but (#1) I forgot to take a picture today and (#2) I wanted to share this October Dress Project anyway but didn't do it on October 31st because of Halloween. :)

Reason#1578 why I dislike ring pops, and VERY seldom let my kids have them.
