Olivia's Pre-K Pictures

We got Oli's pictures back this week....I think they came out pretty good!

See some more pictures and a video of her dancing at school.

A few random things since February......

Well I just checked the camera (the old school one....that is actually a camera and not a phone) and realized there were quite a few pictures and videos that I had not posted.In February Miriam's friend Emma came to visit. While she was here she danced with Olivia....see some pictures and a short video.

I also found a video of Isaac and Olivia playing (quite rough!) around the house, Olivia dancing and the kids popping popcorn retro-style(pre-microwave). See that video here.

The kids, Miriam and I started working on a car...kind of like a soap box derby car, but no soap....no box....and no derby. We are trying to use as much reused materials as possible in honor of Earth day which is when we started it. We hope it will be finished before the fall. Here is what it looks like so far. I will post more pictures of our progress.

Taylor's Falls and Easter Sunday

Lita was in town for a week or so and Miriam and I headed to Taylor's Falls for a night. We stayed at the Old Jail Inn...very interesting! When we came back Isaac and Olivia played us a welcome home song with the Okee Dokee Brothers (check out the video it is pretty funny!).
Then we went to the Arboretum for a Easter Sunday Brunch and came home and decorated Easter eggs.

See some more pictures and the music video here.

French Toast, Nature Hike and the Science Museum

This weekend we all went on a nice nature walk in the purgatory creek recreation area...it is nicer than it sounds.
Olivia and Isaac made French Toast for Isaac's school project. His class was going on a field trip to see how maple syrup was made and they each had to contribute a recipe using maple syrup....he chose french toast.
Sam and Isaac went to the Science Museum of Minnesota they got to do there own experiment!
