Running in Circles

 I really wanted a house with a full circle for the kids to run around in during the long winter months. I am so glad that we got just that.  The kids love racing and chasing and even Wynnlee gets involved; Sometimes taking up the rear and sometimes getting run over, she loves playing with her brothers!

Doesn't the following picture look like Wynnlee is supernaturally raising the truck off of the floor! 

Wynnlee will put on just about anyone's hat and wear it for extended periods of time, yet will almost never keep her own hat put on when she is actually out in the cold weather.  At bible study, she rummages through peoples purses looking for hats to put on her head.  At home, she loves putting on daddy's black hat and her bothers baseball caps.  But every time I put on one of her pretty hats, she takes it write off and usually throws it to the side.  Hmmmm.  But I would like to state the obvious and say that she is absolutely adorable in her daddy's hat!

Minnesota

We all traveled to the great state of Minnesota for a week with my parents in their new home on Lake Minnetonka!
We enjoyed sleeping in, eating on the deck, eating out, a lego display, the twins, walks, ice cream, a coffee date, the Mall of America, new toys, and most of all lots of time with grandma and grandpa Ludemann.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the view from the deck and loved watching the boats go by.

Luke got some much needed time with the kids.

Brooks got to cuddle and be held a lot with all the extra hands!

McCabe and Leighton loved playing lego trains in the high stools!

My parents loved playing with the boys and spending time with them. And the boys loved it too.

And we did a lot of dancing, marching and drum playing ... in small doses at a time!

My mom found a great activity for the boys to go see. A lego club makes these huge lego displays with trains, trolleys, trees, people, godzilla, and everything else you can imagine.

My dad and Luke went to a twins game. Luke enjoyed his first trip to the new stadium. The boys got hats, but no one wanted to wear them for a picture. This was the best shot and you can't even see their faces.Back at home, Leighton finally let me take a picture.

Daddy's Hat

Luke's hat was a little big for Leighton.
