The girls and Trevor had SO much fun together! We can't even tell you how relatively easy it was to have two more kids in the house (which was nice for Sara because Brian was at work all day/evening)...but most of that is because Lauren is a little Mom and she takes such good care of everyone. One hit of the evening was Trevor's new train table.
Such concentration :) But this picture brings to mind a survey we need to hold - should Trevor get haircut #12 or should we keep it long? Ugh, decisions!
Lauren loved helping Brooke and Trevor shoot hoops!
Auntie Sara surprised them by making chocolate chip cookies - although we added some oatmeal to make them a little healthier since Uncle Jeff and Aunt Dawn didn't know cookies were being served. Oops! But, what are Aunt and Uncles for?? :)
They also played this game for a good 30 minutes where they would take turns being upstairs and downstairs and throw Brooke's fairy dolls down.
On Sunday we had already planned for Lauren's special day that we gave her for her 6th birthday last month. We picked her up and headed to Edina Grill for lunch. The wait was 25 or so minutes but Lauren didn't mind one bit. She showed us her mad memory skills on B's iphone.
After ordering we had fun playing the games on the kiddie menu. Who knew a game of word search could be so fun...and challenging!
After a very yummy lunch we headed to Paint a Plate for Lauren to make a special treasure. After much contemplation she decided on a princess jewelry holder. She also picked out all of the paint colors - pink, purple, yellow, red, and blue. She is a great painter!
Her masterpiece is really coming together!
And the final product!! She is so proud!!!
The colors are really dulled here but after they glaze it and put it in the oven, it should look awesome! We'll know for sure in a week!
Why the LRH? Lauren was adamant about putting her initials on it!!! And on the bottom of the holder she wanted a heart with SLB for Sara, Lauren, Brian. What a sweet niece we have!!
On the way home we stopped for an ice cream treat and brought one home for Trevor too. We thought we were going to have a malt with our lunch but Edina Grill doesn't have malts. Oh well, this worked out pretty good.
Total side note, but one for the memory book...before it was even time for Mommy and Daddy to leave the house Trevor said 'bye Mommy! you'll be back! love you!' and then blew kisses. No tears at all for our big boy!!!!
