Stay-cation.

Tom is home again for the week and I am going to be miserably lonely when he goes back to work on Monday. We have been spoiled to have him home so much and going back to normal is going to be hard. But, we'll enjoy it while it lasts! We haven't planned anything super exciting. We are having more of a "stay-cation" of sorts. Yesterday we took the boys to Underwater World at Mall of America. Aiden had been asking about Sharks and so it seemed like the best place to go on a Thursday afternoon. Thankfully the mall was quiet and we had Underwater World almost all to ourselves. Sage loved it too and we finished the day with dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Today we get to work on the house. I think painting, insulation, and a new door knob on the garage are on the "Honey-do" list.


Sage doesn't have a cautious bone in his body. He was more than ready to touch and grab the starfish.


It took some coaxing to get Aiden to touch anything. He was even apprehensive about the sharks that swam over our heads. He is the cautious one but he warmed up eventually.

Jelly fish!



Shark!!

It's impossible to get them both smiling for a picture!


Shark bait!

Looks like a great family day. Did you really enjoy it? That is one place we have never been because I heard from others it wasn't the best, you will have to let me know.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
