Reconnecting!

Last Friday the girls and I met my friend/supervisor, Leon, from AmeriCorps at a storytime and Linnea adored him. Harper gave him a few smiles as well. He read at least three books to Linnea after she already had listened to stories at the storytime. It was so nice to see him again and introduce Harper to him. Linnea had met him a few years ago but I don't think she remembered that. Afterwards we headed to Choo Choo Bob's Train Store to watch the trains for a bit before heading home for lunch, naps and then movie night before daddy came home. This evening's show was Aristocats! It was okay, but she hasn't asked to watch it again so it must not have been loved. Linnea has really been into kitties lately so I thought we'd give it a try.

Saturday morning we went to our usual Saturday Live (there was a juggler this time) with a few moms and kids from the New Parent Group. Brian, Megan and the kids were also there and so was my friend Brooke from HS with her hubby and daughter. So fun to catch up with everyone! It was also the beginning of the Winter Carnival so on our way back to the car we looked at the ice sculptures which are in Rice Park which is right across the street from the library.

After lunch and naps, we headed to reconnect with another friend, actually another friend from AmeriCorps! She had met Linnea when Linnea was about 1 and sadly that may have been the last time we have seen each other besides facebook which is awful and we want to change that. We had so much fun but are looking forward to a time with just each other. It was great to have the girls there so Jess could meet Harper and Linnea could re-meet her cuz she was a hit but we can catch up even more with just the two of us :)

That night I was able to head out to a concert! We were very sad Chris couldn't come since Free Energy is one of his fav bands and two of the band members went to HS with him, but someone needed to stay home with the gals and he had already worked 12 hours and had another 12 ahead of him so he opted to stay home and try to sleep...he didn't get that much more since Harper had a hard time but it worked out anyways. My phone battery died and I forgot the camera so no pictures :( But it was blast and I saw many friends there too. 

Sunday we had a birthday party at the Children's Museum for two twin girls who belong to another friend from AmeriCorps! We had so much celebrating Claire and Abby turning 5!!!

 We stayed until close and I was so happy we did because it gave Linnea a chance to crawl through the "ant" tunnels which she has always wanted to do but it always super crowded and full of big kids who I know would just crawl all over her or she would get scared and cry in a corner. This was the perfect time for her to do it! There were maybe 5 other kids crawling around.

So that was a fun and busy weekend!
