Not only was it the first week of summer break for the kids…I ended up taking an unplanned blogging break too. I had plenty of ideas to blog about…but I just ended up being too busy with other things:
1. Swimming at an indoor pool (we received two one-day family passes almost two years ago to a pool not especially close to home, and we finally got around to using one of them).
2. Last weekend Tony built the kids a giant sandbox, and got it filled with sand on Tuesday afternoon.
3. Miss M celebrated her 9th birthday on Tuesday with an “old fashioned”-themed birthday party that evening.
4. – 6. Miss M’s wish for the day of her birthday was to visit the MN History Center — everyone had a blast. We saw two newer exhibits — one aimed at kids about MN history in general, and one about Minnesota’s role in the Civil War.
7. Miss M and I made cake pops for a end-of-year co-op picnic on Thursday. They were just as hard to make as I always feared they might be. 😉 Luckily they tasted good and were snatched up in a few short minutes at the picnic.
8. – 9. Enjoying a long weekend hanging out at Grandma’s house with swings, monopoly and lots of room to run and play.
Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

I bet your unplanned blogging break felt good, didnt’ it??
Thanks for linking with Collage Friday!
What great looking cake pops. I have never seen them look so round and ice cream like as your.
Blessings, Dawn
What a great week. I love the “Old-Fashioned” theme for a birthday party. The field trip looks great.
Love all the pictures in your collage! Keilee and I would love that history center! Kei loves museums! That swing looks really fun too. Happy Memorial Day!!
Love that your daughter wanted an “old fashioned” birthday and to visit the history center! Sounds like a great birthday to me:)
