Swimming!

I took the kids to Lincoln Park swimming today. Friday I took Z & Z to Washington Park pool. The water was a LOT warmer at Washington than Lincoln. It was sooo cold today I don't know what the deal was! Kids had fun anyhow & seemed to like this little slide better than the big one at Washington. This pool is shallower than the other which was nice for Zach.

Nick was with Grandpa trying out the new golf course at Fort Ridgley. I saw the scorecard....let's say they BOTH need to get out more!! Yikes!!! Nick had fun & now headed over to his friend AJ's house. I don't see a whole lot of him these days it seems! No complaining here, less fights to break up!!

Nicollet Parade

After the church picnic we headed home for a quick change of clothes & headed to Nicollet's Friendship Days parade. This was my attempt at getting all 4 kids for a nice picture. I guess Nick is in the stage he doesn't want to be included in pics anymore. And Lexi....who knows what she was looking at!

Plunk It

We had a busy day on Sunday. After church we headed to Cathedral's church picnic. Kids played a bunch of games & had fun. We found a few things in the curiousity shop (people donate their unwanted JUNK). My find was a big exercise ball. Now I just have to figure out how to use it!! LOL

Our New Pet.........for 2 Days...

Friday night (while Phil, Lexi, & Nick were at the golf tournament) Z, Z, & I were heading for a walk to the park. We didn't get very far (the road by the apartments) when Zander noticed a TURTLE in the road. So I sent him home for a 5 gallon bucket and we took our new pet home. The boys were all excited! When Phil called on his way home I told Zander to tell him we got a new pet, but don't tell him what it is. Zander gets on the phone "we got a TURTLE" So much for our little secret! We kept him for 2 days & then Daddy let him go.

WALL- E

I took Zander & Lexi to the movie WALL-E tonight. This was Zander's first movie theater experience. He did alright until the last 30 mins. It started at 7:00, well previews did, movie started about 7:30....so by 8:30 Zander knew it was past his bedtime! He was getting tired & said he had a tummy ache....I told that was because he ate too much candy. To which he replied "well YOU gave it to me" Yep that is true! I knew it was more he was tired than his tummy hurting. After it was over & we got home the tummy didn't hurt anymore ;-)

The movie....I just came on here to see what the reviews were cause I wouldn't rate it very high! What I've read is that they are expecting it to be the #1 opening this weekend. We'll see.....we'll have to see how it does after the second week after those of us that have seen it give our reviews! I wouldn't go to it again. Lexi liked it but I don't think she really understood what it was about. And Zander....well I think we'll wait awhile before taking him to another movie. It's more the eating & watching other people that he liked.

Golf Tournament


Phil, Nick, & Lexi went to the women's US Open Championship on Friday. They had a great day by the sounds of it. You can read more on his blog......if he ever updates it.

Fishing

I took Nick & Zachary fishing today. Grandma has Zander & Lexi. Didn't get any bites except a duck looking for some food! It was a good thing I had my fishing license with as the DNR were there. I was sitting on my chair & he came up & asked if I had one. I said "do I need one?" He asked "are you fishing?" I said yes....and here you go! Another lady was there & she had one but didn't have it signed. The DNR & police officer were talking to her brother when we left, not sure if she got in any trouble for that or not!
