The Froehle's: Girls Weekend with Nora and Madelyn!

Bishop and Nora spent the night at Grandpa and Grandma's on New Years Eve and Gpa and Gma brought them back home the morning of New Years Day as they had a party in the cities. There was a little back and forth about the plans, especially for Bishop-as Bishop and Luke went ice fishing for the weekend. That left a girls weekend for Nora and I.....and Madelyn joined us too!

Nora and I spent New Years Day playing at home together! We took care of her babies, Nora played mommy and I played the baby for awhile, we worked on her Busy Box that she got from the Bormann's for Christmas (it is awesome and I highly recommend it)! We made puppets and lots of other art projects from it! We finished our night by going out to dinner--to Mikkel Donald's, of course! Nora really wanted to eat there, so we did! I loved having time just the 2 of us and while I had envisioned going out and doing something together, I think we both enjoyed being home and having time to play, just the 2 of us! I suggested we go sledding, but she was very happy to stay home and play!

On Friday morning we got up and as a last minute decision we picked up Madelyn from school and she joined us in Owatonna for the day/night! We had so much fun! We had a tea party with Nana, rode the horsey at Owatonna Shoe (and the girls got new shoes too), played at the library and picked out a few new books, and had a slumber party/movie night! The girls had so much fun playing together! I helped my mom make some of the poster boards for my Grandma's funeral and it was nice being home to spend time together. Madelyn got a little home sick on Friday night--I think she was exhausted and missed her mom and dad. I'm sure it wasn't easy for her that Nora's mom was there and hers wasn't, but she was fine after a good nights sleep! On Saturday morning we got donuts (a tradition when staying at Nana and Papa's!) :) The girls and I then met the Bormann's at St. Olaf and we watched the Gustie Women's basketball team beat the Oles! The kids had a great time together and it was a fun game to watch! After the game Nora and I went to the Bormann's for dinner. The kids played, we ate dinner and then headed home. It was a very fun time together!

On Sunday Nora and I went to church, ran some errands and played at home together. We were excited to have the boys back home and to hear all about their fishing trip!
