Aqua Girl
Lily put together her own costume for CVA spirit week Super Hero Day, including a pair of my old boots, which she wore all day. Impressive! I guess warm blood is her other super power. She’s like Elsa… “the cold never bothered her anyway”

Mental Health Day
The whole family is suffering from allergies or spring colds, so I let the kids stay home today. No screen time. We baked muffins and played games and now they’ve made a play dough sushi and pasta restaurant. I think it’s good for them. Schools gets more than a little crazy this time of year! …

Winter play
MN landscape arboretum has free admission in January. Spent the whole day hiking and exploring the ‘wilderness’. We stopped for breaks at the cafeteria (free hot chocolate!) and did some indoor projects at the family center. The favorite spot was the natural play ground, and it was even warm enough to play!

Costumes
Hillary had a Halloween birthday party so we didn’t get any photos of her as “a Hogwarts student”. But it was a big year for Lily, who wanted to go all out as a vampire witch. (Has she been watching True Blood?!)

For MEA we spent a night at the Buffalo gals ranch in Houston, MN. We took the scenic route down hwy 61 along the Mississippi. Had a great time touring the ranch and stayed overnight in Cody’s Cabin, named for the buffalo who “starred” in Dances with Wolves. Bryant found a bleached skull for his…
