Little Fairy

While out running errands today, we arrived at our destination (Target) and I went over to Chloe's side of the car to open her door and unbuckle her. Then I walked over to Annie to get her out. I had our gear and was ready to go in, but Chloe still hadn't gotten out of the car. I poked my head in and said, "Chloe are you coming out?"
She looked at me and said, "I have to put my fairy wings on! Chill out!"

I must have laughed for a good 3 minutes because her response was so serious!

Well, okay then, I guess the princess has spoken.

Mother's Day 2011

My husband and children spoiled me this Mother's Day!! How lucky am I to have such an amazing and loving family? Blessed indeed.
The day began by being served breakfast in bed! (actually I got up to get Annie when she awoke, but then I nursed her in our bed and then got to stay there... for a little while) My husband made me a pot of decaf coffee (yum!) complete with milk, sugar and cinnamon and then he served me warm bagels with peanut butter and the best part was the chocolate-covered strawberries!! On the tray with my breakfast was a little jewelry box. Inside the box was a beautiful pair of emerald earrings with three little diamonds on the top! Emeralds are Annie's and my birthstone and since I have a necklace with Chloe's birthstone (sapphire), Will decided to get me earrings with Annie's. Such a thoughtful and lovely surprise!



After Annie's morning nap, we headed out to Minnehaha Falls and park area. The weather was starting to look cloudy, but we braved it! We had a picnic (in the wind) and then walked over to the falls with a little hike to see the falls close up. Our camera battery died, so we don't have any of us near the falls, but here's a few pictures that we did get!

The girls, including Cinderella, having our sandwiches, salad and fruit!


Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Going for a ride.... or three!

This morning we met some friends for a fun outing at the Mall of America. Chloe had her pocket full of quarters and she was itching to go on some rides! We also have a wristband so she got to pick one ticketed ride to go on as well. The attendant even let me and Annie go on it for free!


Annie's first ride on a carousel!




Chloe picked the horse with the pink roses! And during the ride she kept shouting, "Giddyap!" and "Yee-Haw!"




Chloe's riding the city bus. You can see the mini-carousel behind the bus which we went on next.



Annie's driving the bus. She's got the whole shifting thing down already! Smart girl!




What a cute bus driver!




Annie on the mini-carousel. The little seat even had a seat belt so she wouldn't fall off!

We had a lot of fun exploring the mall and we even made a stop at the Tea Garden on the 3rd floor for some bubble tea!
