Cenneidigh's field trip to the U of M and the Capitol

She did get a hold of my camera and now I have about 200 photos of random people and places from this field trip.  I had never toured the capitol before so that was fun.  Lunch at the U was anti-climatic.  We were with the kids the whole time so no mom - other mom time for me...so sad.

Field Trip Fun in May

This was the trip I took with the Early Morning Music kids from Ellis.

First we went to the U of M music for singing and then to Augsburg for Band.

Last stop was the Mall of America where I hung out with two other cool Moms.

This is for Kristi

Qatar still sleeps with the blanket you gave him as a baby.

The A/C is on in the living room so he brought his stuff down for the night.

Happy Birthday Cenneidigh-12 and America

Boy how she has changed...and yet we love her more and more everyday.  Happy Birthday..Cenneidigh!

Love this-I can't get this silly song out of my head some-days.

Heat

It is hot here currently....the humidity is not as bad as it could be...except at night.

It cools off a bit, but the humidity soars up and everything feels moist.

But after the nice mild winter we had we should expect a hot summer.

I need to wear shorts to work because my ankles are tan from my capris.

Here is to a busy hot summer.

I think eating salad and smoothies everyday is not a bad thing.

Winter will bring back my tastes for comfort foods...hot and sweet so summer 

hopefully will help me get a taste for healthy foods I can pull into the winter.

Dog Park Fun

We took Parker to the Dog Park and he ran like a crazy thing and after 1/2 hour we 

had to drag him home he was so exhausted.  We took him back this evening when it was a bit cooler 

he ran and ran and then passed out under a table until the other dogs started to bug him.

We drug him home again and David carried him a block.

This is a great way to wear him out.  Lots of people there and everyone knew one of the dogs.

It was like Cheers when he came it..."Bhuddha"  he was a big lovable bull-dog mix.

Parker should sleep well tonight.
