The past couple of weeks (well, the month of August, really) have been tough for Luke and I with our work schedules and being gone. I'd be gone a night and then as soon as I got home Luke would be gone a night or two. We knew going into August that it'd be a tough month--and I'm excited to see the month come to an end! :) Whew-we made it and I'll blog more about how the month ended with a rocky/tough week, but we made it!! :)
Last Friday night (8/23) Luke went golfing with some of his HS buddies in Cold Spring. I had the kids that night and we had a fun Friday night at home. Saturday morning was a ton of fun! We met the Bormann's at a park in Maple Grove and played with them, and the kids had a blast together! After playing at the park we went to Potbelly's for lunch and then played at the water fountain! The fun ended pretty abruptly when I noticed Bishop had stubbed his toe (due to not wearing shoes) and it was bleeding and was cut up pretty bad. It obviously didn't hurt him when it happened, but the minute he saw it he needed a bandaid and he was crying for a bandaid. Thankgoodness Auntie Shelly is so prepared--she had bandaids in her car! Thanks Auntie--you saved me from a long, loud car ride home! :) There was a girl at the park that was a little older than the kids (probably 6 or 7) and she took Bishop, Madelyn and Nora under her wing and was the "teacher"-she was pretty strict about her rules, but the kids followed them and they had fun making trains going down the slide and playing different "games". It was cute--Shelly and I just wished our kids listened that well to us! Ha! :)
Thanks, Bormann's for a fun morning together!! We love you guys so much!

Luke got home shortly after we did and since it was so hot we walked down to the beach to play in the water! It was the perfect day to do that since it was so hot!
Nora loved playing in the sand, while Bishop couldn't get enough of the water. We were all happy!!
It was our first trip to the Lake Harriet beach this year--and it was a good one!
On Sunday we walked to the bandshell for breakfast--we stopped by the Farmer's Market on our way home and then we made a special trip to REI to get a new bike for Bishop. The bike with pedals we had bought him was too big for him and it was hard for him to bike without the training wheels....and he's learned that it's easier to pedal --and his pedal-less bike is now a lot of work...so we got him a smaller bike with pedals. He did awesome! He was balancing and riding it without any help! He was pretty excited! We need to get him on it more often so he's more comfortable, but I think he'll be just fine! It's so fun for him!
I had to fly to Green Bay on Sunday night and I was so sad to leave on a Sunday. I don't ever like to leave the kids, but leaving on Sundays are the worst!! It was a fun weekend and I couldn't wait to get back home to my kids!
