4th of July festivities

We had a pretty busy holiday weekend. It started on Friday with a little "mommy time". I met my friend Shelley at the Mall of America for a movie date to see Eclipse. (No laughing at me, now.)

Saturday morning John went to the driving range for some "daddy time" while the kids and I visited friends in Eden Prairie for a play date. It was HOT Saturday, so what better time to go to a pool party with some friends? We have some friends that live about 30 minutes north of us, and they have a beautiful pool and patio area in their backyard. We didn't make it there last summer so it was nice to relax and catch up with them.

It's quite different taking a 6 and (almost) 3 year old swimming. The last time we were there Will was 1. In some ways it's so much easier, in other ways it's a bit more stressful.





Will spent a LONG time talking to their dog, Missy....or was this one Minnie????
At one point we realized he was gone - he was following the dog around the house. She had such little legs, Will had no problem keeping up.

At the parade Sunday afternoon.

I swear I never saw the guy in the background....I'm sure he was ok. :)


Ugh. Holidays are exhausting.
But no matter how tired, there was no way he was letting go of his candy bag.

You guys need to get a puppy. Will would be soo delighted and it totally diverts attention from the tv and Mom.
Once you get past house training it's a breeze.
