I woke up on Friday and our 7.5 year old turned 15 overnight. Seriously. Doesn't she look at least 14.75 anyway? She thought that meant she could stay awake for the Ladies' Night that I had here Friday. Didn't work, but she tried.
Saturday we went to the Twin Cities. Well, we live over 70 miles from the cities and with gas prices what they are, we combine trips and maximize our experience. Before ending our day at our friends' BBQ, we went to Sam's Club, the mall, Wal-Mart and Como Zoo. Can anyone spot the giraffe? (You may have to click on the pic to make it bigger)
At Como, they also have a mini amusement park for kids. The girls got to go on some rides and they had a blast.
Sunday morning we went to church, where Mikayla got to play outside while the girls were in Sunday school. The wind was blowing and she was having fun. Love the hair.
After running some errands, it was nap-time. During nap-time, I practiced making Lilly's birthday cake. She wants a pumpkin themed party and my friend Alicia inspired me to make a pumpkin shaped cake. Mine is smaller than most people's, but I think it turned out great. I used one cake mix and 2 glass bowls for baking, instead of 2 mixes in 2 bundt pans. The little cake will be for Lilly and whomever she chooses, everyone else will get cupcakes on the big day. This cake turned out better than expected (I've never done anything like this before) so it was a surprise for Daddy when he came home.
Then the best part of the whole weekend...Daddy came home! The girls all ran and hugged him, clung to him, talked to him non-stop about the weekend and I was left in blissful peace. They didn't want or need me after not having Daddy for 4 days. It was GREAT!
