Luke's fishing trip

Luke went on his fall fishing trip last weekend (Wed-Sun), so the the kids and I kept busy while he was gone. Nora missed him like crazy and continually asked if he was home (when I picked her up from school, before bedtime, when she woke up, etc). It was sweet and heart breaking at the same time. 

Wednesday after school we went to the Bormann's for dinner. It's always fun hanging out with them and the kids have so much fun together.

Thursday night it was raining--and Bishop had soccer. My parents came up to watch him play, but since it was raining they hung out with Nora at home and I played with Bishop. There were only 3 kids who showed up, so we got a lot of practice in!

Friday night we had a night with just the 3 of us. We got our flu shots/mists, had dinner, made cookies and had a movie (The Lego Movie) and popcorn! It was a fun Friday night "in"!

Saturday was a really busy day! We left the house at 9am and got home at 8:30! Bishop had swimming lessons then we raced to a birthday party at Pump It Up for Leo and Aliyana....from there we went over to Stillwater to visit Maxine (my grandpa's cousin) and we ended our night in St. Paul with Logan, Amelia, Teddy and Molly! It was a jam packed, fun, beautiful day!

Sunday we went to church, out for brunch, to the park and then Luke was home in the afternoon! We were all really excited for him to be home! He had a great time and caught more fish than his last trip (they didn't catch any this spring)! :)

After soccer the kids put on about 10 layers of clothes-they had a ball together!

Breakfast after church on Sunday

 The kids were so good while Luke was gone and every time he leaves things get easier and the time goes faster. I'm glad he has the opportunity to get away with his friends, but we always like it best when he comes home!

He got home on Sunday afternoon and I left EARLY on Monday for a work trip to Michigan!
