Playing, Gymnastics, Music, Sleeping and CATS!

April is really flying by! 

Since Easter we have had some nice enough days to play in our backyard after daycare...

Linnea started gymnastics through community ed at a High School nearby. Her coaches are High School students which I think is really cool! Good for the students and good for Linnea to see some good role models :) She has enjoyed the first three sessions and Im looking forward to seeing the show at the end of May. Us parents sit out while they learn. 

I have quite enjoyed the time to read in the hallway!

Harper thought she'd try sleeping in the doll crib... 

Linnea had a nonfiction writer's showcase at her school where she got to read her book about the arctic wolf to any parents that came. My dad and I were able to make it. I got to be there for morning meeting as well which was very fun! Along with their book the kids also made pretty awesome diaramas to go with it. Linnea's sure looks like a wolf den! We are so proud!

Linnea had her second playdate with someone from school who isn't from our neighborhood group of friends. We went to Chucky Cheese with Mary Jane and her mom.  We had only been to a chucky cheese one time and it was for a bday party. I would have rather gone to a park but the girls had a blast eating pizza and playing the games :) 

I braved Rock the Cradle alone with the two gals this year. We did meet up with our friend Gail and her girls so I wasn't totally alone :) We love this free event put on by our fav radio station. It takes place at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Childrens Theater. There are fun kids bands, crafts, activities, dancing and more. We had a great time!

Walking in hand in hand.

She was ready to Rock it!

Loving breakdancing/hip-hop again just like at rock the Ordway!

practicing soccer wiith the MN Loon! We hope to get to a game this summer!

Enjoying painting pianos that will be placed around town this summer for anyone to play!

 Listening to the Bunny Clogs before heading home. 

What a fun day!

I think we better get the kid a cat!!!!!

Harper is doing so much better sleeping in her room these days...after 2 and a half years of co sleeping we welcome this with big smiles! She takes a while to fall asleep and sometimes trots into our room around 4 but we are doing good with the transition! She either sleeps in her bed with all these toys or with Linnea squeezed in between big sis and the wall. 

It's very sweet!
